Freeze/Crash & BSOD issues

[HexxVexx]

I should have posted here way earlier but just didn't happen.. Anyways ive been having crashes especially in bordereless windowed since release i have new rig with geforce GTX 770 my temperatures are 50c or max 55. And i still crash, but now after the latest update i crash randomly anywhere. Atleast full screen helped before but it has started crashing there now as well. Before i had BSOD since release which thankfully didnt return this time. (The BSOD got removed earlier don't exactly remember when at the moment). Ive tried reinstalling, formatting, update and downgrade drivers didn't help at all. Its incredible that this havent been fixed since it started after phase 4, im almost scared to synthesis expensive recipes cause i might crash and lose all the mats :/

Sorry if it sounds like im raging but its about time i start posting here, and im just tired of the crashes in general, i even earlier had some direct x error, ive never had that ever before. And i checked my ram and ran dxdiag no issues whatsoever.

Ugh, game's doing this to me now, too. I upgraded from Vista to Windows 8 because the game doesn't give Vista users a mouse icon in fullscreen mode, & it's pretty much so laggy it's unplayable in windowed mode.

So now that I'm running Windows 8, the game just randomly freezes up my whole computer, gives me a black screen that I can't do anything with (can't alt-tab out, mouse icon won't move, can't do *anything*) so I need to turn my computer off, then back on again to get it useable.

VERY UNHAPPY WITH YOU, SE.

For those having issues with their PC freezing completely, its less than ideal, but if you press Ctrl+Alt+Del and select restart from the power option in the bottom right, then cancel it when it asks you to force restart it seems to get the pc responding again without the need for a reboot. For me it does anyway, this basically forces FFXIV to close and regains me control over the PC.

I get the same every now and again with my PS3. It happened yesterday and today with the Dark Devices FATE and Gogo FATE. I had to force restart my PS3 both times.

I get pure virtual function call errors all the time. It depends on the day -- sometimes i go a few days without seeing it, then some days i can barely stay on longer than 5-10 minutes before a crash. Using Windows 7.

Yeah never mind, i thought blue screen was gone but now its back on my computer :/ i got 3 crashes today in dungeon only.. i changed too full screen but it didn't help. Its really annoying its happening more frequently in boss fights for some reason and not on trash. As said earlier my processor and graphic card is around 50-55 c so its not my comp.. I just cant believe this is still going on after several months, its a very good game its a shame it crashes in situations that is the worst possible time too crash. I don't get it, why dont they use solid codes like all other games? I dont know anything about coding but still this is the ONLY game that behaves this way, i have never ever gotten a blue screen from a game before. Please SE just fix this crap already -_-

Hello all... add me to the list.

I, like many of you poor folks, have been suffering through this horrible condition for quite some time now and should have posted sooner. The problems (mainly blue screens ) have only gotten progressively worse as time went by. After playing the game constantly upon early access and the first week of launch I never had any issues with the games performance or my pc randomly blue screening. It all started slowly with the first one in mid September, now it's so much as 3 times in one hour!

I am out of ideas too, I tried lowering to 30fps, removing the sound driver, using 314.22, I really don't know what else to try or say. Like others my computer is fairly new, I have a nvidia 550, and I ran skyrim and battlefield on max settings with no problems at all. Some days are better than others and overall it's definitely worse now than back when it started. Has anyone made any progress with any other methods besides the ones I listed above? Good luck & Godspeed to all.

Happening to me too. Started a few weeks ago. Used to work fine. Either BSOD reboots machine, FFXIV client crash, or sometimes video goes black for like 15 seconds then game comes back. Can happen anytime and does seem to be getting worse. Does seem to be video related. Wonder if they changed something in one of the recent patches. Settings at High Laptop with Nvidia 580m SLI on Win7. Cards were consistently running around 80c during Fates and such. So I cleaned the fans, downgraded the drivers, lowered in game settings, and disabled overclock on the CPU. Runs about 10 degrees cooler now with about 60 fps but no improvement on crashes. Have run all diagnostics. No errors. Only have problems in this game. Will see if flattening the unit will help this weekend. Will let you know.

Yep same issues as me it just randomly crashes anywhere when in a dungeon now, full screen wont help at all. i also get the 15-30 sec freezes randomly but once the first one started its happening more and more and crashed eventually. I was in Wanderer's Palace just now and freezed 4 times and crashed 1 in one single run .. Its definitely gotten worse after last update, and ofcourse the random blue screens i can get anywhere but they only appear every 1-3 days or something, maybe 2 in a day if im very unlucky.
Im really frustrated now, im going into coil next week and im afraid if it keeps doing that in there... Well then there isn't going too be much playing end game :P I will post here if i get more or less crashes in coil though, but AK seems too be more stable for me or its just randomness, the other day i ran 3 straight runs of AK in borderless without a single freeze or crash.

Its too bad they wont fix this, cause this is a superb game for me and the monk class is very entertaining to play, i don't want too leave game until i have too which means crashes in coil or any end game content..

Hello,

I have fix my crash/BOSD problem with my Asus GTX 770 DirectCu OC by changing Alimentation Mod in Nvidia Control Panel from "Adaptive" to "Maximal Performance". I have tested more than three weeks with no crash.

Recently (11/19), i founded an update of bios for my graphic card, and update nvidia driver to last version WHQL, and let Alimentation Mode to "Adaptive', no crash since this date.
It will be a problem to auto-overclocking with frequency or voltage with 2D/3D mod.
