You'd think.

I downloaded AB 3 beta to see if I could cause some crash mayhem. There is a new Intel Quicksync video capture feature that I enabled and... well let me explain something weird....

The first time I enabled it, everything that could go wrong did software-wise. I had to enable the HD4600 by plugging in another monitor, which then threw out my aspect-ratio settings on the video driver. So I fixed that, but then when I ran FFXIV it sat there for at least 5 minutes with a "black screen" before anything happened. I ticked on the video capture, and boom, game freezes. Then I tried to reload the game, not-a-chance, error 2002 which I had never ever seen before, So I reboot

The second time I launched FFXIV first, before MSI AB and before extending to the second monitor. Game loads up instantly. So I go flip the monitor back on and load MSI AB. Game works just fine, turn on capture, works just fine (actually works this time) , at least until I hit the screenshot button while the video was recording. Then it locked up. So I'm now checking to see if I can crash the game by just leaving MSI AB beta running.

So for reference my AMD HD 7770 is the primary monitor, and the Intel HD4600 is powered on and running on the second monitor but is only on to enable Intel Quicksync, nothing is actually on it but the windows background. I reasonably suspect that some crashes might be from it, but as I said in other threads, not all crashes with the same symptoms are caused by the same thing.
