Thread: Nvidia 306.02 Drivers

hello. just got a new GTX 660 Ti, and updated to the latest drivers.

However FFXIV now frequent crashes. it stops working for a bit, then promptly recovers. But FFXIV will close.

Please help!

Nvidia updated their profile settings for FFXIV with latest drivers. Those of us with high end Nvidia cards have flocked to the new drivers in the hopes that this would finally solve the constant crash issues, since both SE and Nvidia are so tight lipped on the problem.

The new profile doesn't fix a damn thing.

It's been two years and simply put, the issue is never going to be resolved. There's just nothing in it for either company, and SE is probably going to move onto an entirely new game engine before Nvidia even figures out how to recreate the issue. Sorry to be so doom and gloom about it but I've literally had to stop playing the game because its so frequent now, and pre-realm reborn is when I need to get my time in the most.

Just read the notes on the beta driver, they updated the SLI profiles for FF14. No mention of tweaking for compatibility or optimization on single card profiles. Are you running your video cards in SLI?

I am actually doing better on that driver, the 305's had me crashing left and right. But, this card being brand new, we pretty much have to just deal with it and wait until they come out with better drivers. Like someone said above, if the new drivers are really the problem, just switch to the older ones until a new driver comes out.

what's a good version that works? didnt have this problem when i was on my gtx460.

I recently got a gtx 680 and an ssd and decided to give this another go before 2.0 comes out. To my horror I discovered that I cannot be inside a city without my card crashing every 5 minutes. It's disgusting. My gtx 470 NEVER gave me this many problems.

Please help!! I crash over and over again during Aleport Hamlet. It's not every 5 min, it's EVERY 30 seconds. All my settings are on LOW. This has been happening for the past 2 months.

Mine is not DirectX issue. It's the ffxivgame itself APPCRASHing. I'm currently copying over the .dat files from another computer to see if maybe I had a corrupted file. It's been 6 LONG hours so far...
