Random Crashing Problem

[dstyle]

i get a black or white screen at random times.
not sure what my problem is. computer's specs are able to handle the game with ease, and i dont think anything is overheating.
nothing weird happens when my screen blacks out, just goes black and i have to manually shut down and turn on the computer again.

anybody else have the same problem?

nVidia card? Which driver are you using? Does this issue happens only in FFXIV?

I'm asking that because nVidia drivers have showed up to be a bunch of garbage since 3xx.xx and up release for many and many people. One of the most recurring problem is the "screen going black for 1~2 seconds and then going back to normal OR freezing on the black screen and demanding hard reset". As well as kernel driver mode crash.

Some many other guys are reporting crashing issues with FFXIV client since P4, you can check them here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...topped-working

Also, IMO, I do believe it's client related issue since many other graphic problems seems to be emerging, like stuttering, low FPS in high-end rigs and so on...

yea, im using a gfx 660 ti...
p4 ran perfectly fine...i deleted the client i reinstalled for ea, screen goes black at a certain point and i have to restart the computer.
or sometimes it freezes, goes out of window and comes back, but no sound and choppy lagging graphics.

dont have any other games to test other the league of legends, but never had problems there.

so do i just wait this problem out for an updated driver?

I found this out but I am not sure if it will work yet.

Check your error logs. I checked mine, and the code read nvd3dum.dll

When I went to check to see if I had any drivers that I needed downloaded it said I was good to go. But the recommended steps are to delete all previous driver downloads, download the most recent and try from there. I am not sure if this will work but I am all out of options.

I get this problem after ~10 minutes of game play. Think the best option at the moment is don't register your retail code for the game, put it to one side, go play BF3, and come back to it in 2-4 weeks.

That's what I'm doing.

Yeah, spent 70 minutes getting in and then zoned once to get an unexpected error. Annoying because I cant test more things because I cant get in.

I am getting this unexpected error also, I don't understand how to fix it. :/

Happens to me too. I rolled back my drivers from 13.8 to 13.6 It seems to fix it but im not getting as good of FPS as i was.

Which drivers do you mean?

yea, i've already tried this. still end up with my screen going black and forced to turn off and restart my computer.
strange, thing is, when i play the game at a pc cafe with computers with almost identical build, the game runs perfectly fine.
don't know what the problem could be.
