Exiting FINAL FANTASY XIV.'Īfter some initial tweaking (see longer story below) the crashes were sometimes the fatal DirectX error, and sometimes this much more helpful 'An unexpected error has occurred.' with a stack trace. The error originally presented itself as a frequent A fatal DirectX error has occurred.(11000002)Īlso, is anyone else bothered by the lack of a space after the period in this error message? 'An unexpected error has occurred. 'A fatal DirectX error has occurred.(11000002)' I'm going to start with the errors I experienced, the short, short version of the fix that worked, but then go for the long story, because I don't actually know if it's a combination of some other tweaks I did that fixed the error. This post is dedicated to the months I spent mutating and mostly ridding myself of the FFXIV errors and crashes on my Windows 10 PC.
However, what I didn't expect was to run into a problem where FFXIV intermittently crashes on my fancy new designed-for-gaming PC. As expected, it was like playing an entirely different game, with better graphics, better frame-rate, and no annoying reboot to Windows in between. A couple of years ago, I bought a new gaming PC (a super duper MSI gaming desktop) after years of playing Final Fantasy XIV on Windows via bootcamp on my Mac.
