Runtime Error

[OwenKane]

Brand new player here. Saved up some cash to get the game and in my first 20 minutes playing experienced this error twice. I was somewhat disheartened to find no fix for this issue and a thread as long as this one detailing how users have been experiencing these problems for quite some time. I hope there is some movement on this soon, because I won't pay for another 30 days if I can't play.

so from my own experience as well as some of my friends this issue seems to happen most during high lag spikes, such as Limsa Lominsa upper decks

I seem to remember others mentioning something similar to this so maybe if we can figure the cause actually is lag spikes between the servers and the client perhaps that will help them fix the issue.

any thoughts on this?

At the risk of jinxing myself. I think I have solved this issue. Following the suggestion on another thread I downloaded and installed drivers 314.22 for my GTX 280. This immediately stopped my crashing, I did it yesterday and have no had a single crash since.

In fact, I tested the hell outta it today, I loaded up FFXIV when I loaded my PC this morning, 13 hours later and I have finally closed it (I was not playing all this time, I just left it running while I went about my business, but previously, it would have crashed when doing nothing). 13 Hours without a crash?

I haven't had that since launch, try it guys, it might work for you.

/edit - I also have my frame rate limited to 30 fps, having it limited to 30/60 too might be important some ppl said on the other thread.

More and more runtime error crashes.

Every single maintenance it gets worse.. Happens so much that I can't even level anything right now..

seriously SE you need to fix this issue. 2 days ago I crashed with this error in duty finder, it took me 15 minutes to get back in afterward, and again today the same thing. this is not a minor issue it effects too many people and you need to fix it. ONLY YOU can fix this SE....and I got it 4 times in less than an hour


make that 3 in times at the end of duty finder. this is not only frustrating its making me rethink if I'm gonna resub once my time is up


note: so I noticed something when this happens if I'm moving on a chocobo porter. I'll see the screen freeze for a brief moment then the error. when I log back in my char is still on the porter but back a ways. the last time it happened I was quite a ways back from where I crashed(near the start of the zone as opposed to half way through it) maybe this issue is some unexpected code in the ping the client and the server give eachother, the client doesnt see the server for long enough and tries to ping and for some reason it causes it to crash.

just a thought

Maybe u're right, when I get the error, the game does not freeze for me but suddenly doesnt load mobs, NPCs or players.
