how do i fix dxgi issue?

magic rock
#

Hi - is there any solution to the launcher claiming your password is incorrect - even when it is not? (I know for a fact my details are not incorrect, would appreciate if nobody suggests that it still is)

#

I know there is a solution I've used in the past, but I've forgotten it

soft swift
#

ok so I got ID and password incorrect trying to login to launcher

#

but I can login to mogstation just fine

#

wtf?

dull garnet
#

I would expect issues right now

#

I doubt much can be done but be patient

hard drift
#

should be up though now NekoHmm

soft swift
#

nope

#

still isn't

hard drift
#

you tried quicklauncher?

shut quarry
#

Anyone elase unable to login at all?

soft swift
#

yeds

#

I tried both official and quick launcher

#

none of them works

shut quarry
#

do you get booted to your desktop with no errors or anything?

soft swift
#

yep, and then ask to reset my password

#

only for the launcher to not recognize my new password

soft swift
#

still cannot login

regal radish
#

Gentlemen, uhh...

#

Are there any Superlux HD681 drivers I should/need to install? This static is becoming annoying as fuck.

#

well i can use my launcher its just i have like 30 MB left to update the game but the speed is turned into 0.01 MBps and then got error

My sound 😦

gusty stump
#

has there been a solution to the dx11 crashes yet?

south mantle
#

@gusty stump im wondering about this alsop when IOs start the game on dx11 its giving me crackle sounds

#

dx9 is fine tho

gusty stump
#

dx9 is fine for me as well for the most part

#

but dx11 is tons of crashes

#

This problem has persisted for many years, there has to be a fix

south mantle
#

yeha im not crashing per say just audio is really bad when opening up the game

deep sapphire

#

Are you using multiple monitors

south mantle
#

just one

deep sapphire
#

Gotcha, hmmm

#

I suppose if multiple people are having the issue then it’s up to SE

south mantle
#

yeah apparently it looks like a fair amount

quaint spear
#

I have an ironic question....

#

first of all, i'm in my forties with no children.

#

Those of you from my generation concerned that your kids are being too plugged in or too cyber?

empty orchid
#

having a weird issue with dx11 client since my initial lobby kick the client no longer responds and simply crashes. dx9 version works fine but there are frame drops in areas with ungodly amount of people.

#

is there a way to reset the resolution setting or something without having to launch the dx11 client?

#

hello, after the update my DS4 won't work at all, anyone having this issue ?

#

i tried everything from steam to the in-game settings

hard drift
#

did you try uninstalling the driver/device in device manager and then replugging it in

sly elk
#

somehow this year they made pink wranglers

#

-barbie girl song plays-

#

I might not be buying pink cars myself, but I applaud the choice. The only other factory pink I know of is that porsche taycan pink

#

which is kinda hard to describe as a pink... but it's just like pink mary kay cars

late basalt

I feel like that’s more of a uh... pale fuschia rather than a pink. But yea, odd color choice to be sure

Hello guys, I need some help
So for some reason I am having fps drops in some ffxiv cutscenes even tho I never had that before.
Fps drops to like 50-55 but its capped at 63 fps.
Never had that issue before.

#

Could it be related to the high amount of people today?

hard drift
#

yes, also that's not a substantial drop so don't worry about it too much deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerp

vernal crown
#

There a reason my FPS will go from like 45 to 30 then from 30 down to 9 then back up at random intervals? My GPU isn't running warm it's average temp. My CPU is running fine too and my RAM is fine as well yet the game won't hold a stable FPS especially in Trials and dungeons.

#

I also turned everything down as low as it can go and that hasn't improved it at all. Before now I could run at 45-60 FPS with just minor drops to 35-30 every now and then but this is a bit of an extreme drop imo

hard drift
#

you doing EW?

vernal crown
#

I'm just sitting in my ShB inn room and running Roulettes.

#

Trying to level RPR

hard drift
#

hmmm idk then

#

would say it's the fps bug i keep getting but mine doesn't fluctuate like that

vernal crown
#

It's got me stumped honestly. I've tried everything I can think of and it still just randomly dips down to 9 then back to about 30-45 FPS.

hard drift
#

try turning the graphics up clicking apply, then low and apply those

vernal crown
#

I did that before I went to work, didn't do anything.

hard drift
#

you'll have to keep doing it if it's the same bug i have

#

happens every so often

vernal crown
#

Fuck, is that something they can fix with a patch or a hotfix? Or is it gonna just be an annoyance now?

hard drift
#

more than likely will be fixed

#

not right away of course lol

vernal crown
#

Of course, might just wait a bit then. The constant FPS drops are annoying as fuck especially in the middle of a dungeon.

hard drift
#

🤷‍♂️ up to you

south mantle
#

I'm more annoyed at thr scratch crakle sound when I start ffxiv with dx11

vernal crown
#

I haven't had that

just went out and bought a new modem, I forgot I had an issue where anytime I loaded into an instance the game would DC and I kept getting packet loss, fuck arris

Which is good and bad lol

Wonder if crafting still works

hard drift
#

I mean more than likely but i can see them force dcing people

dull garnet
#

this may just be hyperbole but does it feel smoother for anyone else?

hard drift

You want to afk using a craft you obviously don’t care about the mats Atleast that’s probably the thought process

Ah damn

hard drift
#

I mean you could do two jobs with the msq for a bit

dull garnet
#

true

hard drift
#

80-81ish area lasts a while

#

The msq is long could probably split between 2 jobs almost completely

It’s fun and annoying at the same time

probably decent since it's a turbo 3

it's also a rally car so it's probably got some enduro baked in

I suppose it can get away with that bc it looks like it weighs as much as a go-kart

I installed a NVME drive SSD on my ps5 without a heatsink; the systems detected read speed is significantly lower than whats advertised

#

should I just return it?

#

max is 5500

#

PS5 says

#

3600-3800

#

max is 5600*

#

odd sand
#

What did you buy

#

Also you should be able to fit a slim heatsink on it still, just not the big chonker ones that are like a quarter inch thick

kindred brook
#

this person was able to get it running at 5600

#

dunno if its one off

#

PNY namazuconcern

#

I don't trust their stuff as far as I can throw it. They've always been a low-end quality vendor

#

You shouldn't run into thermal throttling just on the initial test though I would think

umbral moss
#

PNY sucks

odd sand
#

I suppose you could try blowing a fan at it without the case and see if that changes the results

#

I went the opposite direction for now and used an old HDD for external storage of PS4 games and archived PS5 I'm not playing atm

kindred brook
#

opk thanks

#

I'll just return this then

gritty crescent
#

Has there been a fix for the sound issues yet? Only thing I can hear in game since Maint is bgm and system sounds

deep sapphire

PNY for awhile was one of the best vendors, they were also the only 3rd party vendor that could sell Quadro cards but I have no clue about now days

Hahahaha

sinful lantern
#

not sure where to ask but

#

what is up with gamepass on PC? i got like a hundred XVD drives in device manager

#

its making things slightly difficult, to say the least. keeps freezing controller inputs

hard drift
#

i haven't heard anything about that AShmm

#

are you sure it's gamepass?

sinful lantern
#

yes

#

my input freezes coincide with the XVD drive being removed or inserted, which triggers a device manager refresh

#

drive/s

#

wonder if it goes away if i delete the gamepass games thonk

hard drift
#

each one is a virtual drive for just that game

sinful lantern
#

hmm. only have forza and like two more games

hard drift
#

they said to disable them but idk 🤷‍♂️

sinful lantern
#

oh i did try. but three pop up like five minutes later

#

its a cursed hydra FeelsBadMan

hard drift
#

well if you have 3 games from gamepass that makes sense

sinful lantern
#

oh that is true

hard drift
#

each one is a different drive

sinful lantern
#

gonna try deleting them

hard drift

lol okay

crossposting from qnh, maybe possible to get an answer here

Hi. I am struggling with an issue right now - When I attempt to take a screenshot, I am given a Screenshot Failed error.

The screenshot folder reverts to Read-Only as soon as it is altered

Adding the game folder AND screenshot folder AND game process as exceptions in AV is not working.

Does anyone know the solution to this problem?

sorry, i neglected to mention - the issue was fixed by me reinputting the directory. Not sure why, but we take those, I guess

I had a few people help me, tried everything for like over 10 hours. drivers updated. reinstalled the game, bios updated. video card updated..I switched usb ports..I tried different speakers

#

dx9 works fine but dx11 something is up

modest moss
#

so you don't actually want help

south mantle
#

unless I need a chipset or something

modest moss
#

k

dull garnet
#

you have a chipset

south mantle
#

what? I do want help? I never said I didnt

dull garnet

we all do

what is your hardware configuration

...jesus im looking for help not slander?

latent grotto
modest moss
#

AMD drivers suck, and it's a lottery whether they work or not

#

tl;dr contact AMD

south mantle
#

okay, and everything worked fine before? theres people that have amd and game works fine? besides that trying to figure out what maybe the issue here also. I also tried voice meter, audio switch nothing

modest moss
#

real talk, AMD support is your best bet

latent grotto
#

have we tried shutting down and turning off the psu for a minute

modest moss
#

they will never fix drivers unless they get hassled enough

latent grotto
#

Same for nvidia though tbh

modest moss
#

people need to bug SE and AMD, directly

deep sapphire

its an old meme, I think someone made abunch of these pictures for loved ones that passed away and some asshole just wrote text over them hahahaha

damn

south mantle
#

some other tec dudes told me could be se fucked up because they did something new with the audio this expansion, could be windows bug idk

deep sapphire
#

they added spatial audio

modest moss
#

@south mantle the unfortunate reality is that Nvidia has roughly 4x the market share of AMD, but in this channel we see the literal opposite in terms of problems, EASILY 4x as many AMD problems as Nvidia

#

would never recommend AMD for FFXIV, it's fine for some people but the issues are disproportionate

south mantle
#

besides talking about nvidia and amd, like this is the only place thats comparing, dont know why? because likke I mentioned everything worked fine before, trying to resolve the issue because im not the only one

modest moss
#

so yeah, attack AMD support

#

AMD and SE

south mantle
#

okay you're really stuck on amd

modest moss
#

well yes, it's a hardware and drivers issue

hard drift
#

and i am using amd

dull garnet
#

you knew better and yet

hard drift
#

it is not without ground that they say what they say lol

hard drift
#

and the problems i do have are my own fault deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerp

latent grotto
#

Aye

#

Just like my cpu

modest moss
#

and here's the thing, we compare because we've seen literally hundreds of people come here for help over recent months

#

we see trends

latent grotto
#

Which is mostly "amd be kinda sus with ffxiv"

modest moss
#

right

south mantle
#

okay I have a question if you can help

deep sapphire
#

hi whats your question

south mantle
#

could you tell me which device is the chipset driver? or maybe I dont have one?

hard drift
#

you said crosshair viii right?

south mantle
#

yeah crosshair viii hero

hard drift
#

go there

deep sapphire
#

yeah this doesnt really help, go to asus' website and grab the chipset drivers

#

I would go to ASUS directly

hard drift
#

i mean either works deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerp

deep sapphire
#

get the drivers for the exact mobo

#

just in case

hard drift
#

i hate motherboard specific drivers, they always do worse lol

#

for me that is

latent grotto
#

I've used mobo specific drivers

#

Works for me

south mantle
#

oh no no im there its just that..this is what it says heree

#

AMD Chipset driver V3.10.22.706 for Windows 10 64-bit, Windows 11 64-bit.(WHQL)
NOTICE:
Due to the different structure for drivers, suggest you remove the old driver first before install this version driver.

modest moss
#

I would use Asus ones yeah

south mantle
#

I was wondering since it said remove the old driver but im not sure if I have an old driover or not

deep sapphire
#

DDU lets you remove chipset drivers

#

hold on

hard drift
#

there's amds tool as well

deep sapphire
#

oh okay use that

dull garnet
#

ah yes i am going to dl an exe directly from discord

deep sapphire
#

im gonna do it

#

I DONT GIVE A FUCK

latent grotto
hard drift
#

happy :p

dull garnet
#

did you use DDU when changing video drivers too? that may help

deep sapphire
#

never had to do that for intel and nvidia

hard drift
deep sapphire
#

thats okay I can afford the extra 4 dollars a month on my power bill

hard drift
#

lol

dull garnet
#

sometimes i'll run ddu when updating a driver

#

just for fun

deep sapphire
#

just for fun haha

#

🙂

south mantle
#

oh no I havent done any of this, so my question okay I have the .exe now..and im downloading the asus driver chipset..but I herd it can conflict with each other the audio from asus and amd or?
what do I do first?

deep sapphire
#

AMD doesnt make audio drivers

#

the chipset will use Realtek

#

in 95 percent of the case

hard drift
dull garnet
#

the video card does audio

deep sapphire
#

both packages will have the same audio driver

#

video card only does if you use HDMI out

dull garnet
#

wrong

deep sapphire
#

which also sucks on Radeon

#

okay fine

dull garnet
#

DP

deep sapphire
#

IT WILL BE INSTALLED

dull garnet
#

do we even know if they're using video card audio or motherboard audio

deep sapphire
#

no

dull garnet
#

do they know?

I dunno

it's still popular for sure

looking at their source it's roughly 80m monthly

what

south mantle
#

should I download the latest amd software first?

hard drift
#

fortnite support has been in nvidia forever lol, plus dlss/rtx

dull garnet
#

i'm confused

modest moss
#

you don't half talk some bollocks lol

hard drift
dull garnet
#

the audio on your board is realtek and divorced from the chipset and the chipset driver isn't appropriate for the gpu

south mantle
#

you mean my video card? the 6700

dull garnet
modest moss
#

baseless claim
gets proved wrong
strawman

hard drift
#

but i mean it's possible 🤷‍♂️

modest moss
#

Dreww are you using audio from your GPU or from the motherboard jacks?

south mantle
#

GPU I believe

modest moss
#

try audio from motherboard

hard drift
modest moss
#

Bidori shut up, you're just looking silly, help the person

hard drift
#

-.-

south mantle
#

actually im sorry my bose speakers connect through usb and its on the motherboard yeah, but I also tried my soundbar which is connected through my tv through hdmi cable on the video card and same audio problem

hard drift
#

since it's amd

#

have you updated the bios

south mantle
#

yeah

hard drift
#

to the latest?

south mantle
#

yep did it about.. 5 days ago or so

hard drift
#

okay

#

just incase are your audio connectors connected properly

south mantle
#

yeah everything works fine. its just the moment dx11 version of ffxiv opens it gives me that audio crackle. I tested it with other games like genshin, I ran video playbacks..dx9 works fine too

modest moss
#

I would suggest unplugging bose usb speakers, and the hdmi soundbar, and testing basic 3.5mm audio from mobo

dull garnet
#

okay boomer

south mantle
#

wonder if my spakers has that plug

hard drift
modest moss
#

just use a pair of heaphpones?

dull garnet
#

does this sound issue happen elsewhere too?

south mantle
#

oh yeah I used a logitec headphones and the crackle sound is still there

hard drift
#

if it's crackling it should be doing it for other devices as well otherwise it could be just that speaker

south mantle
#

for dx11

hard drift
#

was it 3.5mm?

#

or usb

south mantle
#

usb wireless

hard drift
#

try wired 3.5

#

because it could be usb that is the problem since amd had issues at one point with usb

south mantle
#

I dont think I have one I gotta fine my old one lol but ill try that

hard drift
dull garnet
#

of all the things to have an issue with

#

smh

hard drift
#

lol ikr

#

i mean it should be fixed since they updated their bios but hey, never know

south mantle
#

the radeon software version I see an optinal and recommended I guess ill just do the recommended verison

hard drift
#

worth a shot 🤷‍♂️

south mantle
#

just curious did something even install;; with the chipset? from the previous picture I posted

hard drift
#

yes

south mantle
#

okay

hard drift
#

the powerplan failed which really doesn't matter much

#

and another thing failed that might be more important 🤷‍♂️ but lets go with what we have for now

south mantle
#

okay, downloaded the software now and assuming I gotta reboot, and ill try ffxiv dx11 again

hard drift
#

yeah

south mantle
#

@hard driftyep..dx11 still has the crackle sounds. tried wired headset and still there. changed my audio to my TV and changed the 48hz to the 44hz and crackle distortion sound still there.

hard drift
#

hmm weird

#

report it, all you can do

south mantle
#

yeah theres mutiple fourm post about dx11 audio issue as well

#

on the loadstone and reddit

hard drift
#

guess just stalk the forums and wait for a mod to say how to fix or acknowledge it's an issue

topaz timber
#

Yeah, I have the same issue. It's just something we gotta deal with until they fix it or we see something new.

hard drift
#

can't help much aside from what we tried since i don't/haven't had the issue deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerp

viscid cove
#

yeah it is an issue. heres hoping SE has it on deck for fixing sometime this weekend 🙏

#

but i am sure there are other fires too

topaz timber
#

At the very least it's still playable

hard drift
#

i expect earliest is tuesday but they still have family and such for holidays so might be later

topaz timber
#

Plus it might not be super high on their priority list

#

There are definitely worse bugs to have

south mantle

@hard driftdudeeeeeeeeeeeeee

no fucking way

its fixed

oh hell yeah, I'll try it lol

I cant believe I spent a whole day on thsi shit

yesterday changing the equalizer settings around worked (mostly), but today it isnt so ive been trying literally anything else i could think of LOL hopefully this does something

hi guys, is it possible for the PS5 to reach 120 hz for FFXIV?

hard drift
#

possibly but depends on resolution and congestion deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerp

torpid quiver
#

cuz a friend of mine has a monitor that goes up to 200hz at least, and ps5 can go up to 120 hz. Though his game still capped at 60hz

latent grotto
#

Think you also need hdmi 2.1

dull garnet
#

unless the monitor is very new i doubt it will have that

hard drift
#

doesn't the game also have to support it for ps5?

dull garnet
#

yes

#

i'm only aware of ff14 being 60hz

hard drift
#

yeah same thing i was just reading

torpid quiver
hard drift
#

ffxiv doesn't have support for it seems plus i doubt it has 2.1

Anyone have issues with sound cutting out in large scale battles. Specifically PC combat sounds. I just did the first trial and my timing on roatation was all over the place because of lack of audio queues

hard drift

Its like ability sound effects cut short

#

Alright thanks

hard drift
#

no idea if it's the same but might help

trail zealot
#

Its fine most the time, but in large fights like Bozja they cut short. Did the first EW trial and its the first trial in the game to cut my audio like Bozja

#

ill try it anyway, thanks

torpid quiver
#

awesome, ill relay the information u guys provided me thanks!

torpid bluff
#

for the record, unfortunately this fix didnt fix this issue for me - still experiencing bad audio stuttering during big fights. at this point i think itll just be something to report and hope they address soon LOL

hard drift
#

yeah, only other thing we can say is check forums and see if someone has a fix

gusty stump
#

omg

#

let me read

#

But that seems like a sound fix?

#

The problem is the general instability of DX11 and the crashes

#

just checking in if any solution has been found

modest moss
gusty stump
#

No, Nividia

modest moss
#

you're just in an unlucky minority then, it's usually AMD users with directx crashes

gusty stump
#

On the forums and reddit the majority of post are both AMD and Nividia

#

I still haven't found a source that it's a majority of AMD having that problem.

#

Do you have one?

modest moss
#

the people who come in here asking for help

gusty stump
#

Ah okay.

modest moss
#

Nvidia has 4x the market share, but I'd say it's easily the inverse of people coming in here with directx crashes, far more AMD users

gusty stump
#

Yes, but the Dx11 crashes are both AMD and Nividia, i'll come back tomorrow and see

#

Vega?

modest moss
#

you are extremely unlikely to get a solution in here by tomorrow, we've been seeing this for many months and your mostly likely solution is to hassle both SE and nvidia

gusty stump
#

I'm fully aware, I've been having this problem for months also

#

And i've asked several times

#

but what else can i do?

#

this problem has persisted for YEARS

modest moss
#

for directx issues we can literally only parrot the same advice, update drivers, turn off audio enhancements, reinstall windows, etc

gusty stump
#

and SE wont make any sort of announcement

#

or recognize it even

#

I've done all of that + all of the stuff in the reddit post

modest moss
#

we're literally just players, you need to hassle the people you're paying money to

#

coming in here daily won't achieve shit, harsh reality

gusty stump
#

It doesn't harm to put a message here once ever other day does it?

#

Who knows

#

someone might have found something

#

this is group therapy lol

modest moss
#

you know this is not an official support channel or anything, right?

umbral moss
#

actually, my dad's uncle's cousin is lead systems engineer at square-enix, he's fixing this problem right now

#

your posts have made a difference

modest moss
#

we're helping out of the goodness of our hearts

#

people come in here with weird expectations like we're getting paid for this or something

gusty stump
#

It's not like we are asking you specifically

#

I'm just putting up a post in case someone knows of a fix

#

doesn't have to be you.

modest moss
#

Keep on at SE support and Nvidia and Microsoft

#

you know, the people who can actually fix it

gusty stump
#

well duh

modest moss
#

the people you have paid money to

umbral moss
modest moss
#

and giving us attitude like 'well duh' is really not going to be well received

umbral moss
#

who knows why DX11 mode shits the bed occasionally, I bet SE's engineers don't either

#

if they knew they would have fixed it

#

probably lmao

#

hitting some kind of power limit or something and crashing the driver

modest moss

it's an SE spaghetti code issue

you get no more help from me, that's for sure

#

I don't offer help because I'm one of those people where everything Just Works like 99.999% of the time so I don't know any of the issues people have or the workarounds

#

my interest in playing google meta-fixer is actually an infinitesimal value

it's all good, I'll just carry on playing FFXIV crash free and laugh at entitled people who can't

Everything was working last night and when I finally get into the game the vocal and attack sounds and such stopped working but music is playing

Otherwise if you have the wrong sound channel set for your speakers you’ll have audio playing in speakers that don’t exist

ok I will check into it ty for the advice
