Try installing DX runtime

Run GTAV as an Administrator
Go to the install directory for GTAV PC
Right click PlayGTAV.exe
Click Run as Administrator


Only thing I can think of since usually that is what I would do if I have Directx errors.

Oh I just looked at your specs.

AMD Radeon 6670 it might be your drivers for the card, maybe try some old drivers to see if it stops crashing.

The other solution I have read off another site stating they had the same issues and did this.

Go to ur AMD Catalyst Control Center.
Go to the Performance tab.
Click Enable Graphics Overdirve.
Put ur GPU clock setting to the minimum (500Mhz).


Other than that, I would suggest going for a GTX series card that's just me, I do like radeon but seems a lot of people have issues with amd on FFXIV ARR

Well here is what you should do.

Uninstall your video card and Re-install some fresh drivers.

Then try to do this.

Turn off
Ambient Occulsion
Post Process antialiasing
Multisample Antialiasing.

In graphics option if they are on

If not

try Microsofts way.

Though I remember having same issues.

I kept crashing and getting hung application due to some area's and used to get stuck walking.

I tweaked the settings inside the game to a lower setting not everything on high mode, I went and bought me a GTX 650 2gb GDDR5 MSI card and a new PSU I haven't had a issue since.

You could try to lower the DX settings but that shouldn't even matter try what I said and see if that works.

Alright then you are going to have to Uninstall FFXIV.
Even your registry of any existing files of FFXIV.

Then once you go to install FFXIV ARR again you need to run the install in administrator.

Make sure you have all your virus programs off just in case it blocks some of the files from working.
you can turn the virus program back on after its done installing.

this is the only thing I can think of if you cannot open up your FFXIV launcher.

I've solved the error, but i had to format my PC, the topic can now be closed, it was the only way i've found.

Thanks for the help.

Im on Windows 10 Tech Preview. Looks like there is an option "Refresh your PC without affecting your files" option. there is also an option to remove everything and reinstall windows, but I don't know if it will reformat or not. So far I haven't had to use it.
