Intermittent game crashes after complete FPS drop

[Kira75]

I am having an intermittent game crash issue. I was having this same issue in beta 4. I have gone through 2 driver builds. I posted a bug report for this during beta 4, but it got ignored. This continues to happen randomly while walking or riding mounts inside or outside the cities.

It starts with a complete FPS drop to 1-2fps. If I continue to move in any way the game crashes with a game error saying that FFXIV stopped working (not a Windows error). Sometimes while the FPS has droped; if I stop immediately it will fix itself. However; Most of the time it crashes.
