Have tried waiting a while after game loads, tried at character select, have tried deleting the minion.dat, restarting computer, and have always waited a while between attempts. But I am getting crashes off and on, but is super annoying cause I don't seem to get it to launch for a good 15-20 mins after trying a bunch. Once logged in I usually see an outline of the text that floats over the character (or used too cant remember if it is still there) in black covering some of the screen and then the game locks up. I read in another thread to turn windows defender on and have done that as well. This occurs both when it is on and off.

Any other hints or advice? I can't produce it everytime, but I almost always notice it after I either close or crash FFXIV out and try to launch it again later. So the 2nd/3rd time I decide to bot basically in a day. If I just leave it on forever it doesn't seem to have trouble, but if I ever decide I want to close it. Re-opening often has this effect.
