Ever since I started playing, the game would crash to desktop after 1~2 hours of playing. Just now, I got an error message for the first time saying, "can't launch client by itself."
I've gone through a number of possible fixes for this including:
I've gone through a number of possible fixes for this including:
- nVidia Driver: 457.71 (For FFXIV)
- OS: Windows 10 Pro
- Compatibility modes (Windows XP Service Packs 2 & 3, Windows Vista Service Pack 3, Windows 7, Windows 8)
- Running ge.exe as Administrator
- Disabling fullscreen optimization (though it's in windowed, but, why not)
- Running Command Prompt and sfc /scannow and /DISM for potential corrupted/damaged system or .NET Framework files
- Replacing the d3dx9_27.dll and d3dx9d_27.dll files with the d3d9.dll file from system32
- Ran a CHKDSK for any problems and on the drive GE was placed (D:\)
- Tried to turn off DEP for GE (it's required, though)
- Tried extracting the game files to C:\Program Files (x86)\
- Ran Windows Memory Diagnostic - No errors. (Will try MemTest86 after work)
- Disabled RAM XMP Profile, manually adjusted timings and voltage
- Ran MemTest86, no errors through all 4 passes.
- I've re-downloaded the client through Mega (21-parts) and have been playing for just under 7 hours with no crashing. Issue seems to be fixed. [Edit] After a roughly 12-hour session; a crash. /sob (does anyone else even read this? lol)
- Disabled Audio Enhancements
- Added ge.exe to Windows Defender exceptions
- Re-installed ,NET Framework (possible fix, will check after work)
- Potentially found the cause; may be a conflict with Wallpaper Engine. [Edit] Nevermind
- All signs point to constant Access Violation Errors. Need to figure out how to fix that. (EVGA Precision X1 may be a potential cause)
- Turned off Shader Cache in Geforce settings
