»I just did another Einherjar. Had all settings on full with weather effects and shadows. Ran 60fps this time (last night was 30). No crashes at all :)
Think it's safe to say that the problem has been resolved :)
It'll return. You can take that as a Frank promise.
I'm not attempting to jinx you in any way. But I assure you that the 980 card is just doomed to crash comps when running FFXI.
I'm a bit bitter tonight because I've had an incredible series of crashes trying to CP in Outer Raz. Literally 2-3 minutes after logging my character in every time. About 8 goes in a row.
It's gone pretty much an average of once a day for months. Just playing FFXI. Nothing else crashes my comp. Not playing The Witcher 3 on uber settings. Not playing some silly non intensive card game on Steam. JUST FFXI.
Sometime once a day for a few days. Sometimes 3 days without a crash then 3 in one day.
Today? Couldn't keep it in for more than 2-3 minutes for a solid hour of the comp self rebooting after a complete bomb. Then relogging into FFXI.
I've downloaded Afterburner now. And have kept it running on the other monitor for the last hour of play tonight once I came home from Outer Raz. With no more crashes. And have gone into bios settings of the comp and tried turning it down from 'normal' to 'power saver' (crashed within seconds of logging into Outer Raz as per) and now up to the red setting 'give it all you've got computer' setting or whatever it is called. No crashes since with that up.
On Afterburner I've turned the voltage up by 10 as suggested in another topic. And Memory Clock down by 30 as also suggested. I expect these tweaks to do NOTHING! It will chug along for a day making me think that was the problem. Then just go BANG! When I'm least expecting it.
I've said to the wife after todays shenanigans that another day like this and it's the comp that goes or the game. And there's only one winner there. Goodbye FFXI and hello Steam again.
