This has gone on for a long time, I have a home built PC, Windows 7, windows updates up to date, GTX 970 updated, etc...
FFXI and Windower installed to C drive
This seems to happen very consistently after a couple hours of running, and it doesn't matter if I have one or more instances loaded, even only one will crash in the same way. When one crashes any other instances of it will crash along with it. It doesn't seem to matter what I'm doing in game, and I will normally intentionally restart my computer before I get into anything intensive which will seem to reset the crash timer so that I don't drop out mid-action.
When I start playing, the memory usage sits around 270,000 K, shortly before it crashes memory use is around 350,000, and once it does crash before I close it memory use is at 590,000 K. (Memory Leak???)
I can literally be sitting idle in game doing nothing and it will crash, completely seems like it's based on run time not anything specific to the game.
I have uninstalled, reinstalled, reinstalled windows, etc...
I have the following addons/plugins, which I've turned on and off with no change trying to troubleshoot this:
addons:
aecho
chars
chatlink
distance
enternity
gearswap
pettp
pouches
send
silence
subtarget
timestamp
tparty
update
plugins:
config
sandbox - only added recently to see if it would fix this, no change
statustimer
I created a dmp file of the crash if that's useful. The crash info is:
