Random, unpredictable crashes. Please help.

It's the game, not your PC.
A multitude of people are having the same issue and more. Nothing to do about it until SE, themselves, address the problems and fix them.

I don't think the game is at fault here... continue reading for my thoughts on this.

I've legitimately tried so much to fix this issue. I've messed with settings, I've turned off core isolation and Fullscreen optimization, I've uninstalled and reinstalled my graphics drivers, Final Fantasy XIV, and Windows. I've even changed out/upgraded my graphics card (from Nvidia to AMD, but I got crashes on the Nvidia card that looked exactly the same except they were nvidia graphics drivers mentioned in the error) and RAM.

RAM related crashes wouldn't be caused by the game.

They've tried both an NVIDIA and AMD GPU and get the same results.


Two GPU's tested with same results, both from different manufacturers... yeah it's definitely not a GPU issue.

SYSTEM_CPU 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700F (24 CPUs), ~2.1GHz

This is likely to be the problem...


Intel 13th and 14th gen CPU's are currently experiencing instability issues that can cause games to crash, RAM corruption crashes as well as complete PC crashes.

Intel 13th and 14th Gen CPU's currently have an overall failure rate of well above 20%... exact number is unknown and is expected to be a LOT higher.


It's just Intel selling defective or poor quality silicon.





I'm on an AMD CPU (5800X3D) and an AMD GPU (RX 7900 XT) and I don't get any of these crashes.

My brother is on an Intel 11th Gen CPU (11900K) with an AMD GPU (RX 6800) and does not crash.

Yes, it is very likely, that the CPU is the problem.

Even the devs of The First Desendant created a patch, which throttles the shader compilation on Raptor Lake CPUs to prevent crashes.

its a mix of both in my opinion
the cpu gets the lion's share of the blame, but something in the game is pushing that weak point.
that said, it would have been nice for SQEX to have been more of a help in it rather than the normal "well we dont think it exists, have you trying reinstalling"

but my annoyed ranting aside, there MIGHT be a fix, me and another player with a similar build used setting the Itel extrem turning utility to chance the Core IccMax and the Long and Short Boost power maxes to the intel recommended
while he did have to reduce his cpu multiplier as well. I didnt
But we both havent had a crash since doing this almost a week ago.
