Thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.


There are a few fixes you can try to solve the issue, but first of all, it can be caused by overloaded servers. You can try to restart the game a few times, until it disappears. It’s caused by a high amount of players trying to log in at once. Otherwise, it can be an issue relating to a conflict with some background processes of your platform or the game’s files. In this case, the basic fixes will still be to restart your platform, launcher and game, as well as troubleshoot your home network. Next, you’ll want to check your game files. You have to right-click the game’s folder and check the files using whatever software you have installed, such as a feature of your antivirus of choice or Microsoft Defender.

Additionally, Could you provide a system report? Simply go to the 'Config' option on the Final Fantasy XIV launcher and to the right of 'System Information' click on 'Display.
