Good morning! Thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums. Upon further review, it appears that your CPU [Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7400 CPU] may fail to meet the minimum requirements for FINAL FANTASY XIV [Intel® Core™ i7-7700] as outlined here: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/system_requirements/

Unfortunately as your CPU does not meet the minimum system requirements we are unable to guarantee that it will be able to run FINAL FANTASY XIV, as an additional note it also appears that your GPU [NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050] may also fall under the recommended requirement [NVIDIA® Geforce® RTX 2060]. If you haven't already, we would suggest trying to lower the overall in-game settings.

If you would like to attempt general troubleshooting with the above information in mind, please try the following:
- Update and reinstall the drivers for your graphics card and sound drivers (if applicable). It appears that your GPU driver was last updated on [8/14/2024], at this time a newer version should be available.

- Limit in-game FPS.
- Please try adjusting/lowering the resolution.
- Please try running the game as an administrator.
- Please be sure that Final Fantasy XIV is installed to the C: Drive. If you have multiple drives you may try installing onto a different drive.
- Please be sure to disable or remove any overlays (Discord, Steam, NVIDIA etc.) as they may interfere with startup.
- Make sure that the Windows OS is fully updated.
- Reinstall game

We hope this information is helpful. Thank you once again for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums!
