Error Has Occured

[Gatorceri]

Every time I try to play the game on my laptop since my desktop is at the repair shop, I get "An unexpected error has occurred. Exiting FINAL FANTASY XIV.(16a)" And Googling that gets me no help, so some help is very much wanted here. Please help, as I have done everything I know to do, and can honestly say it isn't because I have OneDrive disabled on this laptop, because I hated it syncing with my desktop.

What have you tried so far to fix it? One common workaround is renaming the data folder (C:\Users\%username%\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn). There are several reports of this resolving the issue. Have you already given that a try? The thread below suggests that deleting the folder also works. I recommend backing it up before deleting it.

Yeah, I've already done that. I've done everything I could find. This, make sure OneDrive is off, which is automatically off to begin with, uninstall and reinstall, and run an integrity check. I even went through and deleted all assoicated files.

Steam on Windows PC.
When getting to the SquareEnix logo in the game.
Every time I try to load in.

No, I am not running anything else.
I can't even get to the characters to find out.
No, it is not.
No updates or changes.
It happens in full, borderless, and window mode.

Uninstall and reinstall, erase all associated files after uninstalling for a second time and reinstall, check to make sure my OneDrive was still off, rename the data folder, and run an integrity check.

I will have to do that the next time I get on my laptop. I'm at work right now.

I've already restarted pc and ran in administrator mode and got the same issue.
