help i randomly get Directx error crash.

[Ultran]

Those random DirectX crashes have been an issue for some people after every patch since the game was launched. For some people it is actually only certain areas or instances while for others it seems to be related to the activity. Some people had multiple installations of FF 14 on different harddrives and some of them worked perfectly while others had the DirectX crashes. After years of having them sporadically with 2 different computers I am quite certain that the issue lies in most cases not in your hardware and instead with the game itself.

After playing for another 60min or so, it happened once again for me.
While Im glad that Im actually managing to play my 2-3 pvp matches with like 1 or 0 crashes, it is still there somewhere, so I'll be lurking around here for a while.

At first I was afraid it could be some faulty hardware since I just recently upgraded my pc, but this crap ONLY happens with FFXIV

i may have fixed my game, not only my GPU is about 35% at high(desktop) graphics, and it can spike up to 70% when doing heavy stuff, otherwise its pretty low, and this could have also fixed the Dx11 error i been getting.
what i did was reinstall my GPU in the PC and completely uninstalled reinstall FF14 and deleted the save folder in Doc/my games.
i think ill be ok now. ^^

I also fixed mine! I was waiting until I was sure about it.

On saturday morning my PC 'froze' 3 min after logging on FFXIV, after my hard reset and queueing into PVP I had a blue screen, so I just zeroed everything:

- I did a complete reinstall of my Windows with only my SSD connected (and later on activated my other disk and ssd in the windows Disk Management).
- During the Windows install I completely formatted ALL my SSDs and HDDs, even the ones I left deactivated. I didnt leave a single file behind.
- After the install, for my GPU driver I went with "custom install", unchecked all optional boxes, and checked the "clean install" one.
- I updated my Windows as normal in the Windows Update.
- Lastly, I also went to my BIOS and disabled my Memory RAM XMP.

Been playing all sort of games since saturday evening with zero problems.
Most importantly, I created a Restore Point on my windows as soon as I noticed everything was working as it should.

I hope y'all can find what works best for you, its one of the worst problems I ever had and I work with IT, ffs.
