Freeze/Crash & BSOD issues

[Taah]

disconnected all other drives (storage hdd, dvd-rom) except the one with FF on it. works for me, no crash since two days.

It would be nice if someone knew the real fix for all these random game freezes.

Normally have pretty good luck. In the South Shroud today, crashed three times within an hour. Hrmph.

Same problem here. I constantly crash and it happens frequently. After awhile it will randomly decide to let me play for a couple of hours. I more than likely will not renew my membership if this is not fixed. The good news is my trade craft skills are high...

I get the feeling that SE doesn't actually know how to fix the problem. Its very unlikely they would admit that they dont know, but instead will reply with "We are looking into the problem". I hope you find out what wrong soon SE, I like this game.

Maybe it helps, but for me the game crashes more often in the shroud areas with much grass and trees and vegetation.

I fixed my BSOD's, what fixed crashing for me was disabling the "Cinematic Cutscenes: Depth of field" option from system configuration --> graphics settings

My system:

Intel® Core™ i7-3770K Processor
680 GTX videocard
Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate
Installed FFXIV ARR on normal HDD
Installed Nvidia drivers: 320.49

I don't have any problems with other games only with FFXIV:ARR
I installled FFXIV ARR on my laptop and there the Cinematic Cutscenes: Depth of field is also disabled and it never had BSOD.

Hopefully this will help some of you. It doesn't matter if you have Graphics settings to maximum or low just try to disable Cinematic Cutscenes: Depth of field

i had these same issue so i uninstall the game and fresh install it and now i ahve new problem , download speed is sooo slow i ahve 4mb connection and i download the game when it 1st came out 0.40 now atm its 0.03 to 0.04

I found a way for me to deal with freezes till someone finds the true problem. I tab out every 15 minutes for almost a minute. If I don't forget to do this, then I can go a whole day without freezes.

It's really getting ridiculous. It's hard to enjoy a game (which I really do enjoy) if I have to live in constant fear of it crashing and eliminating any potential for forward progress.

don't think SE will fix this problem.
luckily for me i have gta 5 to switch to.
maybe one day someone here will find a solution
