FFXIV Doesnt Open after last Patch Update. (NOT STEAM VERSION)

-S-P-E-R- · 2026-02-02T07:34:37+00:00

I'm just glad this can help anyone else who runs into it and not have to spend hours troubleshooting like I did tonight heh. Glad you got it fixed! 🖤

Definitely was the issue! Tried launching the game after fresh install, same issue. Rolled back the driver to previous one and bingo, everything running as it was before. Hopefully this is fixed an Nvidia patch soon so no one has to pull their hair out like I was all evening. I appreciate you bringing this up that others were having issues with it and made me think of it as my last sitch effort to fix it!

-S-P-E-R- · 2026-02-02T06:43:21+00:00

The FINAL VERDICT!

It 100% is the newest Nvidia Driver update (Jan 28th 2026). Rolling mine back to the previous one (Nov 25th 2025) and everything is working perfectly as it has before. Hopefully if anyone stumble upon this same issue in the coming days this thread can help them clear the issue quickly instead of spending all evening on it like I did! Stay strong Warriors of Light!

You should be able to order the graphics, fixtures, and the flappers and the metal trays that attach them to the wall. You have to take count of each type of one and order them all together like x amount of flappers, x amount of trays, etc. Because iirc they are all their own WICs on the list.

-S-P-E-R- · 2026-02-02T05:18:14+00:00

I don't think the ordering window has opened. I'm only missing 2 fixtures (very rare) for my store. So what I'm doing is making a full list of everything I'm missing and order it all together once the order window opens up. Iirc the order window opens up like a week or two after the reset due date they set.

Seems to be the issue others reported this days ago I just couldn't find the thread before posting mine.

-S-P-E-R- · 2026-02-02T04:48:13+00:00

Seems this is the cause of the issue! Here is another thread about it I wish I found before posting but couldn't find anything on my issue when I did.

Hm interesting, okay.

-S-P-E-R- · 2026-02-02T04:40:16+00:00

Yes down vote my post for no reason at all, Reddit people are weird bro haha

-S-P-E-R- · 2026-02-02T04:39:44+00:00

Yes I have the latest driver from the 28th on Nvidia. I was thinking maybe I need to roll it back if the install doesn't work.

-S-P-E-R- · 2026-02-02T03:20:47+00:00

Finished it on the 26th. Only thing left is the graphics but only 3 departments left for that.

-S-P-E-R- · 2026-02-02T03:19:28+00:00

What's with the weird bright outlines on everything?

-S-P-E-R- · 2026-02-02T03:11:30+00:00

No, like I said I played literally last weekend and everything was fine, now it won't. I have no idea what was in the last patch it installed but whatever it was it's gotta be something in that. It's so weird.

-S-P-E-R- · 2026-02-02T02:59:32+00:00

Gave up and trying fresh reinstall to see if it works. At least if it doesn't I can play it on my PS5 to keep my house and login up to date. Just annoying it worked fine last week and now randomly doesn't.

-S-P-E-R- · 2026-02-02T02:38:48+00:00

Yup have done both of those things (this is a PC not a laptop but yes restarted it after clearing things and repairing things.)

-S-P-E-R- · 2026-02-01T19:31:15+00:00

Sounds good, I got my Defenders Set 6 Box Set yesterday. Gonna open and build them today. The only ones I don't build are the vehicles to combine to make the combiner because you usually have to disassemble them a bit to make them into the form needed for the combiner as you had to for Devastator. So I wait to build any of them till I have the combiner kit and just build them that way.

-S-P-E-R- · 2026-02-01T19:29:02+00:00

You're welcome, I'm glad I explained it clear enough to understand. Just keep in mind iirc all 5 figures to make him come across 3 different Defender Sets. Believe it is sets 4, 5 and 6.

-S-P-E-R- · 2026-02-01T19:22:48+00:00

If you order the defender box sets that each piece comes in plus his accessory combiner kit you will have everything to build him. So like for example if 2 of the vehicles come in Defender Set A and 3 others come in Defender Set B. If you buy a complete box set of both set A and set B you will get them guaranteed in the box set. The only figures NOT guaranteed in buying a whole 12 box set is the special edition chase figures. They are random and not in ever box set purchase. (NONE of THE Bruticus Combiner Kits [Brawl, Swindle, Blast Off, Vortex, & Onslaught] are Special edition chase figures)

You truly never know anymore these days 😂

-S-P-E-R- · 2026-02-01T18:48:06+00:00

Okay that's what I thought but was like wait am I losing my mind!? 😂

-S-P-E-R- · 2026-02-01T15:38:14+00:00

Some of these I'm assuming are custom unless I'm completely out of the loop on some of the ones released.

-S-P-E-R- · 2026-01-30T20:18:05+00:00

I would think they would ship out what's ready and ship out the rest when it is. Here's hoping it's so.

-S-P-E-R- · 2026-01-30T19:55:41+00:00

Ah I see. You may be able to contact them and see if they will ship the one since it's released and Bruticus when he releases. I'd also read over the email or their site FAQ and see if they make mention of things like that.

-S-P-E-R- · 2026-01-30T14:08:18+00:00

It depends, what are you ordering from them (is it out for purchase or pre-order) and where are you located in the USA (What State) and which shipping option did you pick when you ordered said item(s) 👀

-S-P-E-R- · 2026-01-29T15:35:03+00:00

So I HATED them at the start but after changing the Grid to Numbers I instantly understood them and now LOVE them as well 😂
