Final Fantasy XIV: VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST (original) (raw)

There was a patch 16a51f3 to help reduce issues with FFXIV and Nvidia Drivers 450.66 and possibly above but this just seems to have made the issue occur less. After about 12 hours strait of having the FFXIV client running I once again got the dreaded VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST. I see other games in the issues list are having this problem too with the same driver versions. I'm starting to think Nvidia just messed up version 450.66. I can confirm I never got this error with 440.100 so I am pretty sure this is a Nvidia driver issue.
