......are any of you guys streaming or broadcasting gameplay in any way?
I've been noticing that anytime I run OBS in a given session (even if I don't have it running while playing XIV), I get crashes.
But I've gone multiple several hour long sessions after a clean reboot of the PC with no OBS, no broadcasting of any sort, and no crash.
Several days ago, I started OBS up to stream another game, only had it on briefly, stopped, closed OBS and logged onto XIV and got a silent CTD like 10 seconds after loading up. So I rebooted the game, got another silent CTD again, within 60 seconds.
I gave up that night, went to work, got home in the morning, performed another clean boot of the PC, and I haven't had a crash since.
To perform a Clean Boot in Windows 10: Hold the Shift Key when you click "Shut Down". Once your computer shuts down, either turn the surge protector/UPS unit off, or, your computer's PSU switch off to totally cut power to your PC for at least 10-20 seconds, and then turn it back on, and boot the computer back up.
This fully clears anything that might be hanging out in the computer's RAM that could be left over as Windows 10 does not fully shut down by default, it uses a hybrid hibernate function instead and if anything like a broadcaster software screwed with your GPU drivers, this stuff could still be present even if you shut your computer down and turn it off.
Just something to try.
EDIT: Also I've been seeing a lot of NVIDIA GPU cards in these sys info dumps... are any of you people on ATI cards? Also, have you guys tried disabling all the overlays in Steam and Discord?
