Final fantasy 15 windows edition не запускается

Запуск от имени администратора, в режиме совместимости, в окне без рамок

Для начала попробуйте запустить игру от имени администратора. Если игра вышла ранее 2015 года, попробуйте запустить её в режиме совместимости с более старой версией windows, например windows 7 (для очень старых игр можно попробовать Windows XP SP3).

Правой кнопкой мыши по ярлыку игры → свойства → совместимость → ставим флажки «Запустить программу в режиме совместимости с…» и «Запускать эту программу от имени администратора».

Эти два действия очень часто решают проблему запуска и стабильного ФПС.

Если вы играете через Steam или другой лаунчер, попробуйте запускать игру через него (после того, как выполнили действия выше).

Так же часто помогает запустить игру в окне без рамок.

Обновление DirectX

Все ошибки, которые имеют в себе приставку D3D, X3D, xinput *** .dll скорее всего сообщают об отсутствии нужных библиотек DirectX

• Скачать веб установщик можно здесь

Может помочь установка библиотек NET Framework

• Скачать Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5
• Скачать Microsoft .NET Framework 4

Обновление библиотек Microsoft Visual C++

Если в названии упоминается приставка MSVC, и если не упоминается, обновление этих библиотек для игр чрезвычайно важно. К тому же даже после установки вы можете заметить, что ошибка повторяется, причина в том, что необходимо скачивать все версии, как х64, так и х86, некоторые игры требуют обе. Скачиваем и устанавливаем ВСЕ версии компонента.

Final Fantasy XV (2016), скачанная с торрента, не работает

Пиратские версии вообще не гарантируют стабильной работы, их разработчики не отвечают перед вами за качество продукта, жаловаться некуда. Есть вероятность, что репак окажется нерабочим, или недоработанным именно под ваши характеристики. В любом случае мы рекомендуем пользоваться лицензионными версиями игр, это убережет ваш компьютер от всевозможных программ-шпионов, майнеров и прочей нечисти, так же обеспечив стабильную поддержку и выход новых патчей от разработчиков.

Final Fantasy XV (2016) не скачивается или скачивается долго. Лагает, высокий пинг, задержка при игре

В первую очередь проверьте скорость своего интернет-соединения на speedtest.net, если заявленная скорость в порядке, проверьте, не загружен ли ваш канал, возможно у вас подключено несколько устройств к вай-фаю, идет обновление операционной системы, скачивается что-то в браузере, или запущен фильм. Посмотрите нагрузку на сеть в диспетчере устройств. Проверьте целостность кабеля, идущего к вашему устройству. Если вы все же пользуетесь торрентом, возможно, скорость раздачи ограничена из-за нехватки раздающих. В крайнем случае вы всегда можете позвонить своему провайдеру и узнать, все ли в порядке с вашей линией.

Проверьте наличие свободного места на вашем диске. Если с местом все в порядке, рекомендуем так же проверить диск на наличие битых секторов с помощью бесплатных программ VictoriaHDD или CrystalDiskInfo

Final Fantasy XV (2016) зависает, застывает изображение

Проблема вполне может быть вызвана самой игрой, это хороший вариант. Но такое поведение может свидетельствовать о неполадках в работе процессора и видеокарты. Проверьте температуры CPU и GPU, нормальный уровень можно узнать на сайте разработчика по модели устройства. Если температура завышена, устройство уже не на гарантии и его давно не чистили, сделайте это сами (если понимаете как) или отнесите в сервисный центр на чистку и замену термопасты, если проблема не устранена, есть вероятность сбоя других компонентов: материнской платы, оперативной памяти или блока питания.

Final Fantasy XV (2016) тормозит. Просадки частоты кадров. Низкий FPS (ФПС)

Вероятно вашему ПК не хватает мощности для стабильной работы Final Fantasy XV (2016).

• Включите счетчик FPS в настройках Steam или установите любую другую программу для этого на свой вкус. Нам необходимо выйти на стабильные 60 кадров.
• Для начала включите вертикальную синхронизацию
• Вы так же можете поставить масштабирование DLSS (XeSS, FSR) на качество или на баланс (больше производительности, чуть хуже картинка), если у вас современная карта и игра поддерживает эти технологии
• Если не помогло, попробуйте понизить все графические настройки до минимума, кроме разрешения экрана
• После повышайте до тех пор, пока картинка остаётся комфортной. Если же понижение не помогло, остаётся только понижать разрешение.

В Final Fantasy XV (2016) нет звука. Ничего не слышно

Проверяем звук в настройках игры. Проверяем звук на самом ПК, например музыку в браузере. Если ничего нет:

• проверьте уровень звука в windows (вашей ОС), возможно уровень звука установлен в 0
• проверьте правильность подключения колонок, наушников
• если устройство нестандартное, ему могут потребоваться свои драйвера от разработчика
• возможно нет драйверов на звук в системе вообще (обновляем, смотри первый пункт)
• в крайнем случае есть вероятность, что вышла из строя звуковая карта

Final Fantasy XV (2016) не видит мышь, клавиатуру или геймпад. Не работает управление

Первым делом перейдите в настройки игры и проверьте, переключено ли у вас устройство управления на геймпад (если проблема в нем). Плотно ли подключены провода? Работают ли устройства вне игры? Решением может быть проверка драйверов с помощью утилит (смотри первый пункт) или банальное отключение → подключение.

• С помощью Advanced SystemCare Free проведите стандартную очистку. 
• Замените значение реестра: Поиск → Редактор Реестра → HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE → SOFTWARE → Microsoft → Windows NT → CurrentVersion → Windows → LoadAppInit_DLLs → в строке Значение замените 1 на 0. 
• Проверьте компьютер на наличие вредоносных программ и вирусов. После проверки и чистки перезагрузите ПК и снова загрузите игру.
• Проверьте, чтобы у вас были установленные все необходимые версии компонентов, а именно Microsoft Visual C++, DirectX, Драйвера (смотри пункты в начале).

It’s been more than 3 years since Final Fantasy XV was released on PC. And although the game has seen countless updates, DLCs, and improvements over the year, players are still experiencing unexpected crashes that take away from the experience. Frequent crashes are still reported to occur on Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Картинка с сайта: appuals.com

We’ve looked into this issue and analyzed dozens of different user reports facing this very issue. As it turns out, there are actually multiple possible causes that might be the root cause of this problem. Here’s a list of culprits you should investigate:

Now that we went over every potential reason why you might be experiencing these types of crashes, let’s go over every fix that other Final Fantasy XV players have successfully used to get to the bottom of this issue.

1. Update GPU Drivers

The first thing you should do when troubleshooting this issue is to make sure that you’re running on the GPU drivers. Final Fantasy XV (especially the latest DLCs) uses a series of unique physics dependencies that will only get installed with certain driver versions (depending on your GPU).

The ideal way to do this is to use the dedicated utility (from AMD or Nvidia) to make sure that you’re installing the latest driver version according to your GPU model – from Nvidia or AMD.

Depending on if you’re on Nvidia or AMD side, follow one of the sub-guides below to ensure that you’re running on the latest GPU drivers:

Update Nvidia GPU

Nvidia recommends that you take the time to uninstall every remnant driver file first (before installing the latest version) if you’re under suspicion that your GPU driver fleet might be affected by corruption.

Do this in order to briefly switch to the generic driver and ensure that the installation of the new GPU drivers goes according to plan.

Follow the steps below to update to the latest Nvidia GPU according to your particular model:

1. Start by opening a Run dialog box – you can do this by pressing Windows key + R.
2. Type ‘appwiz.cpl’ inside the text box and hit Enter to open up the Programs and Features menu.
   

   Картинка с сайта: appuals.com

   Note: If you see the User Account Control window, click Yes to grant admin access.

3. In the Programs and Features menu, click on the Publisher button to order every item based on their publisher.
   

   Картинка с сайта: appuals.com

   Note: This action will allow us to spot the entires belonging to Nvidia more easily.

4. Next, move down and find the entries published by Nvidia Corporation.
5. Right-click on every Nvidia item and choose Uninstall from the context menu.
   

   Картинка с сайта: appuals.com

6. Next, go ahead and uninstall every piece of software published by NVIDIA Corporation from your computer.
7. Once the step above is completed, reboot your computer and wait for the next startup to complete.
   Note: This action will force the generic GPU drivers to kick back into action.
8. Once your PC boots back up, visit the official download page of GeForce Experience.
9. From the dedicated download page, click on the Download Now button to download the latest version of GeForce Experience.
   

   Картинка с сайта: appuals.com

10. Start following the outlined steps to install the latest version of GeForce Experience on your PC.
    Note: At the confirmation prompt, click Yes to grant admin access.
11. Open GeForce Experience and navigate to the Drivers page to see if a new driver version is waiting to be installed.
12. Next, click on Express installation and follow the remaining prompts to complete the installation of the driver.
    

    Картинка с сайта: appuals.com

13. Once the latest driver version is installed, reboot your PC in order to finalize the changes.
14. Launch Final Fantasy XV once again and see if the crashing issue has disappeared.

Update AMG GPU

On the other hand, if you’re using an AMD graphics card, you should definitely use the cleanup utility before attempting to update your current driver – doing this will ensure that you remove every remnant file from the old driver installation and start from scratch.

Once you do this, you can safely download the latest GPU version using the Auto-Detect utility.

Here are the full steps of this process:

1. Open the official download page of the AMD Cleanup Utility link. This should trigger an automatic download of the latest version of the AMD Cleanup Utility.
2. Once the download is complete, right-click on the AMD Cleanup Utility and choose Run as administrator from the newly appeared context menu.
3. Next, you should see a prompt asking you to boot in Safe Mode to make the utility more effective. Click Yes when this happens.
   

   Картинка с сайта: appuals.com

   Note: What this tool will do is it will uninstall the current AMD drivers, then deploy a system-wide scan that will look for remnant registry files and startup items that contain the AMD driver store signatures. If it finds any data that should no longer be on your system, it will remove it without any friction with other system components. The entire process is automated so there’s no further action on your part.

4. To begin the process, click Ok to start the process and have it run in the background.
   

   Картинка с сайта: appuals.com

   Note: Once the utility starts, you can expect the display to start flickering before finally going to black for a few seconds. This is perfectly normal.

5. After the operation is complete, click on Finish to reboot your computer normally and make the transition to the generic drivers.
6. Once your PC boots back up, visit the official AMD page of the Auto-Detect and Install Graphics utility.
7. On the Auto-Detect page, scroll all the way down to the Auto-Detect and Install Radeon Graphics Drivers for Windows section and click on Download Now.
   

   Картинка с сайта: appuals.com

8. Double-click on the executable that you’ve just downloaded and follow the remaining prompts to install Radeon Adrenalin.
   
9. Once the installation is complete, you should see AMD Adrenalin automatically launching itself as it starts scanning for the latest compatible AMD graphic drivers.
10. Wait patiently until the driver scan is complete.
11. Next, you will be prompted to install the appropriate driver according to your model. Hit Install when the prompt appears.
    
    

    Картинка с сайта: appuals.com

12. At the EULA (End User License Agreement), click on I agree to complete the procedure.
13. Reboot your PC one final time to complete the operation, then launch Final Fantasy XV once again and see if the game is no longer crashing.

If the same problem is still occurring, move down to the next potential fix below.

2. Set TRAM to Low and lock it to 30 FPS

Once you’ve ensured that your current fleet of GPU drivers is not to blame for this problem. the next thing you should troubleshoot is a situation where the TRAM setting you’re using when playing Final Fantasy XV is unsustainable.

This is quite frequent with low PC configurations that are barely meeting the minimum requirements. If this scenario is applicable to you, our recommendation is to set the TRAM setting to Low and lock your FPS to 30.

This action is vetted by a lot of community members that are stuck with low PC configurations. You can modify these settings by opening Final Fantasy XV and going to Settings > Graphics.

Once you’re inside, set the TRAM to Low and then change the Framerate to 30 FPS before saving the changes.

Картинка с сайта: appuals.com

Once you make these changes, save the changes and restart the game before loading your save game and testing to see if you’re still experiencing constant crashes.

If the issue is still ongoing, move down to the next method below.

3. Disable Nvidia Turf Effects and Hairworks

If you’re using an Nvidia GPU, you’ll notice a couple of additional Nvidia-powered settings under the Graphics settings of Final Fantasy XV.

After testing with different configurations and after looking at various user reports, we recommend resisting the urge to enable them.

You can leave Nvidia-VXAO and Nvidia ShadowLibs enabled if you have a capable PC, but you should toggle both Nvidia TurfEffects and Nvidia Hairworks to Off. 

Картинка с сайта: appuals.com

You can do this by opening the game and going to Settings > Graphics.

Note: It looks like more than 3 years after the PC launch of Final Fantasy XV, Square Enix still didn’t make these options reliable, so you’re better off sacrificing some graphical bells and whistles in order to achieve stability.

After you disable these graphics settings, restart the game and see if the problem is now fixed.

If the same problem is still ongoing or you already had Nvidia TurfEffects and Nvidia Hairworks disabled, move down to the next potential fix below.

4. Switch from full screen to Borderless

As it turns out, a popular reason why you might be experiencing this problem while playing Final Fantasy XV on PC is a case in which there’s some kind of memory mismanagement happening while you play the game in full-screen mode.

This is entirely beyond your control as this problem happens due to the developer’s fault and it’s only reported to occur with certain PC configurations.

Fortunately, there is a way to fix crashes caused by this problem, but you’ll, unfortunately, have to move away from full-screen mode into borderless mode.

The game doesn’t have a menu toggle that you can just modify in order to achieve a borderless state, so you’ll need to do this by editing the GraphicsConfig.ini file of the game.

For step by step instructions on how to do this, follow the instructions below:

1. Ensure that Final Fantasy XV, as well as Steam, are closed and not running in the background.
2. Open File Explorer and navigate to the location where you installed Final Fantasy XV.
   Note: If you got it through Steam, you’ll find the game in the following location:

   C:\Program Files\Steam\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XV

3. Next, navigate through the following folders until you finally see the GraphicsConfig.ini file:

   76561197985784977 > savestorage

4. At this point, we recommend creating a backup of the GraphicsConfig.ini so you have a fail-safe in case you make a mistake when editing the file. To do this, right-click on the file and click Copy, then press Ctrl + V to make a copy of the file.
   

   Картинка с сайта: appuals.com

   Note: This step will save you from having to reinstall the game in case you miss modifying the config file.

5. Next, right-click on the original GraphicsConfig.ini (not the backup) and click on Open with > Notepad in order to be able to edit the values.
6. Once you see the values inside the GraphicsConfig.ini file, scroll down and locate HardwareFullScreenMode. Once you find it, change the assigned value to 0.
   

   Картинка с сайта: appuals.com

7. After you made this modification, click on File > Save from the ribbon menu at the top to save the change and make it permanent.
8. Once the changes have been saved, close the Notepad file and launch the game once again to see if the crashes stop.

In case Final Fantasy XV still crashes unexpectedly despite the fact that you’re playing in borderless mode, revert the change you did above and move to the next method below.

5. Disable Hardware fullscreen mode

If editing the config file didn’t fix the issue in your case, the next thing you should troubleshoot is a scenario where the full screen is enforced at a hardware level from the game settings. According to community members, this is typically a problem on PC rigs with a dual-GPU setup.

Fortunately, you can fix the problem if this scenario is applicable by opening the Graphics Configuration Tool of Final Fantasy XV and unchecking the box associated with Hardware fullscreen mode.

If you want to give this fix a try, follow the instructions below:

1. First things first, ensure that Final Fantasy XV is closed and not running in the background.
2. Open File Explorer and navigate to the following location:

   C:\Program Files\Steam\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XV\tools\GraphicsConfigurationTool

3. Once you’re inside the correct location, double-click on the GraphicsConfigurationTool executable.
   

   Картинка с сайта: appuals.com

4. Once you’re inside the Graphics configuration menu, go under Basic Settings and uncheck the box associated with Hardware fullscreen mode.
   

   Картинка с сайта: appuals.com

5. Save the changes, then launch the game once again and see if the problem is now resolved.

In case the same kind of issue is still occurring, move down to the next potential fix below.

6. Disable VSync (if applicable)

As it turns out, if you’re using V-Sync on a low-end PC using an Nvidia GPU, you might prevent these constant Final Fantasy XV crashes by disabling V-Sync via Nvidia Control Panel.

Sure, doing this will mean that you’ll notice some degree of screen tearing as you’re playing the game, but it’s still better than being constantly booted out from the game as it crashes.

We’ve managed to find a lot of users reporting that in their case the problem was fixed entirely after they used the Nvidia Control panel to change the Program Settings for Final Fantasy XV in order to ensure that Vertical Sync remains disabled.

If this scenario is applicable to you and you’re looking for step by step instructions on disabling VSync on Final Fantasy XV, follow the instructions below:

1. Ensure that Final Fantasy XV is closed and not running in the background.
2. Press the Windows key on your keyboard and type ‘Nvidia Control Panel‘.
3. From the list of results, click on Nvidia Control Panel.
   

   Картинка с сайта: appuals.com

4. Once you’re inside Nvidia Control Panel, click on Manage 3D settings from the side menu on the left.
5.  Next, go over to the right-hand side menu and click on the Program Settings tab.
   

   Картинка с сайта: appuals.com

6. From the Program Settings menu, select Final Fantasy XV under Select a program to customize.
7. Scroll down and change the drop-down menu associated with Vertical sync to Off, then click Apply to save the changes.
   

   Картинка с сайта: appuals.com

8. After this change has been operated and saved, launch Final Fantasy XV once again and see if the problem is now fixed.

If you’re still experiencing the same kind of crashes, move down to the next method below.

7. Disconnect the second monitor (if applicable)

If you’re using a dual monitor setup, you might be able to alleviate the Final Fantasy XV crashes by disconnecting the secondary monitor before launching the game.

The community reports that this fix is effective in scenarios where the dual monitor setup is achieved via an HDMI split.

So before launching the game, take the time to physically unplug the second monitor from your HDMI port.

After you do this, launch the game and see if the problem is now resolved.

In case this method is not applicable or unplugging the monitor didn’t alleviate the frequency of the crashes, move down to the next method below.

8. Reinstall every Visual C++ dependency

As it turns out, another potential reason why you might be experiencing this problem is a scenario in which a Microsoft C++ Redistributable released in 2017 is needed by Final Fantasy XV but cannot be located.

Note: Keep in mind that this Visual C++ package is extremely important to ensure that Final Fantasy XV is capable of utilizing the DirectX shaders that the game uses on Windows 11. 

If you think that this method is applicable, you should start by uninstalling the Visual C++ 2017 Reddit package (if you already have it installed) and do a fresh installation from the official Microsoft channels. 

Here’s a quick step by step guide that will walk you through the entire process: 

1. Press Windows key + R to open up a Run dialog box. Next, type ‘appwiz.cpl’ and press Enter to open up the Programs and Features screen.  s
   

   Картинка с сайта: appuals.com

2. In case the Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable is already installed, right-click on it and choose Uninstall from the context menu to get rid of it. 
   

   Картинка с сайта: appuals.com

   Note: If you don’t have this Visual C++ Redistributable suite installed on your computer, skip this step entirely.

3. Next, inside the uninstallation screen, follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation, then restart your computer and wait for the next startup to complete.  
4. Once you’re finished with the step above, download one of the Visual C++ 2017 redist packages below depending on your OS architecture (32-bit or 64-bit):
   64-Bit Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable 
   32-Bit Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable  
5. Double-click on the recently downloaded vc_redist installer and click Yes if you’re prompted by the UAC user account prompt.
6. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation of the latest version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable.
7. Restart your PC and launch Final Fantasy XV to see if the problem is now resolved.

In case you’re still experiencing the same indiscriminate crashes while playing the game, move down to the next method below.

9. Edit the GraphicsConfig file to force Window mode

In case you are stuck with a low-end graphics card that is just barely meeting the minimum requirements of Final Fantasy XV and you’re experiencing these crashing during heavily populated areas of the game, it might help if you modify the GraphicsConfig.ini file in order to force Window mode.

This will end up preventing the memory leakage problem that was mentioned above. A lot of affected users have confirmed that going this route finally made the game stable enough to play without worrying about constant crashes.

If you’re prepared for this trade-off (playing the game in window mode), follow the instructions below to learn how to edit the GraphicsConfig file of your Final Fantasy XV installation:

1. Start by making sure Final Fantasy XV and Steam are closed and not running in the background.
2. Next, open File Explorer and navigate to the location where you installed Final Fantasy XV.
   Note: If you got it through Steam, you’ll find the game in the following location:

   C:\Program Files\Steam\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XV

3. Navigate through the following folders until you finally see the GraphicsConfig.ini file:

   76561197985784977 > savestorage

4. At this point, we recommend creating a backup of the GraphicsConfig.ini so you have a fail-safe in case you make a mistake when editing the file. To do this, right-click on the file and click Copy, then press Ctrl + V to make a copy of the file.
   

   Картинка с сайта: appuals.com

5. Right-click on the original GraphicsConfig.ini (not the backup) and click on Open with > Notepad in order to be able to edit the values.
6. After you manage to open the GraphicsConfig.ini file with Notepad, scroll down under Basic Settings and change the value of FullScreenModeOnStartup to 0.
   
   

   Картинка с сайта: appuals.com

7. Go to File > Save to save the changes you just operated.
8. Launch the game once again conventionally and play normally to see if the unexpected crashes stop.

If the problem is still not fixed or you were already playing in window mode, try the next fix below.

10. Disable overclocking or underclock your GPU (if applicable)

Instability while playing Final Fantasy XV on PC is also encountered in instances where you’re using an overclocked GPU card that is simply not stable enough to run the game.

Most cases will occur if you went overboard with your GPU frequencies and the voltages can’t keep up. Another possibility is that due to your overclocking, your PC is unable to supply enough power.

A couple of affected users that were also dealing with this problem have reported that Final Fantasy XV was finally running smoothly without crashesafter they reduced their overclocking frequencies for both their CPU and GPU.

If this method is applicable, we recommend reverting to the default values will allow you to figure out if the problem is indeed occurring due to overclocking.

Картинка с сайта: appuals.com

After resetting the overclocked frequencies to the default, launch the game once again and see if you’re still dealing with the same kind of crashes.

If this method was not applicable or it didn’t improve your gaming experience in any way, try the next fix below.

11. Disable Flow Guard (CFG) in Windows Security (Windows 10 Only)

If you’re still on Windows 11 and you’re using Windows Security as the default antivirus + firewall solution, you should also investigate whether the Flow Guard (CFG) feature is actually causing these unexpected crashes when playing Final Fantasy.

As it turns out, the crash might occur as the CFG feature flags some code from the game as potentially malicious and terminates the app.

Note: This is is a security option meant to prevent apps installed under Windows from taking unwanted actions. However, in this case, it’s just a false positive that can simply be ignored.

If this scenario looks like it could be applicable, follow the instructions below to disable the Flow Guard (CFG) feature in your Windows Security to prevent this scenario from repeating when you’re playing the game in the future.

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Press Windows key + R to open up a Run dialog box. Next, type ‘ms-settings:windowsdefender’ inside the text box and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to open up Windows Security with administrative privileges.

5. Next, access the System settings tab and change the drop-down menu of Control flow guard (CFG) to Off.Note: Additionally, you can go to Program Settings and create a custom rule for Final Fantasy XV that will only disable the CFG feature for Final Fantasy XV.
6. Save the changes, then reboot your PC and launch Final Fantasy XV once again to see if the problem is now fixed.

If the crashes are still occurring, move down to the next method below.

12. Whitelist the game in AV settings

If you notice that the game crashes every time you attempt to connect to Square Enix servers, you should seriously investigate a scenario in which your activity is interfering with the connection between your local installation of Final Fantasy XV and the game server.

In this case, the only method that will spare you from having to uninstall the overprotective suite is to whitelist the game in order to prevent your antivirus or firewall from interfering with it and blocking the connection with the Square Enix servers.

Note: In case you’re using a 3rd party security suite, the instructions for whitelisting the game’s files will be different depending on which security tool you’re using. Since we can’t provide you with a definitive guide, the best thing you can do is search online for specific steps of whitelisting applications according to the antivirus or firewall that you’re using.

On the other hand, if you’re using Windows Security as the default antivirus suite, follow the instructions below to whitelist the Final Fantasy XV executable in your antivirus settings:

Note: The steps below will work for every recent Windows version (Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 and Windows 11)

1. Start by pressing Windows key + R to open up a Run dialog box.
2. Type ”control firewall.cpl” and press Enter to open up the classic interface of Windows Firewall. At the UAC (User Account Control), click Yes to grant admin access.
3. Next, use the menu on the left to click on Allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall. 
4. From the Allowed apps menu, click on Change settings button and allow admin access by clicking Yes at the UAC (User Account Control) prompt.

5. Once you have the necessary permissions, move down through the list of allowed applications and see if you spot the entries associated with Final Fantasy XV.
6. If they’re missing, click the Allow another app button, then click Browse, navigate to their location, and add all the executables belonging to Final Fantasy XV from the game’s installation folder.
7. Save the changes, restart your PC and launch Final Fantasy XV once again and see if you are still getting the crash while attempting to connect to Square Enix servers.

If the problem is still not fixed, move down to the next potential fix below.

13. Disable the Windows Paging File (Not Recommended)

If you’ve followed every step above and you still haven’t been able to stop Final Fantasy XV from crashing unexpectedly, the last thing you can do is disable the Windows Paging file feature.

This is by no means recommended as it might cause friction with other native Windows apps, but a lot of affected users dealing with this issue on low-end PC configurations have confirmed that this fix finally allowed them to play the game normally.

If you are prepared to go for this method, follow the instructions below to disable the Windows Paging file:

1. Press Windows key + R to open up a Run dialog box.
2. Next, type ‘sysdm.cpl’ inside the text box and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to open up the System Properties screen with admin access.

Error and Fixes – Final Fantasy XV PC/Windows Edition

Before moving on to the Error and Fixes guide let’s take a look at the SAVE GAME (File) Location and Graphics Configuration File Location.

1: Save Game File Location (FFXV):

If you have bought the game via STEAM then Final Fantasy XV Save Game File will be located at “%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XV\Steam\<user-id>\savestorage\”

and if you have bought the game via Microsoft Store then FFXV Save Game File will be located at: ” %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\39EA002F.FINALFANTASYXVforPC_n746a19ndrrjg\SystemAppData\wgs”

3: How To Fix Crash Issue in Final Fantasy XV

To fix the frequent Crash issue in Final Fantasy XV, I would recommend you to roll back to the Driver 390.77. The cause of the frequent crash issue in Final Fantasy XV is the latest driver released by Square Enix – if you have installed it then just rollback to Driver version 390.77. To do that all you need to do is UNINSTALL the currently installed driver with the help of DDU and reinstall Driver version 390.77.

4: How To Run FFXV in Borderless Windowed Mode (Fullscreen Borderless)

To fix this all you need to do is change one statement in “GraphicsConfig.ini”. The full steps to do that is provided below.

• Step 1: Go to “C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XV\Steam\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\savestorage\” i.e the location of your savestorage\
• Step 2: In this location, you will get “GraphicsConfig.ini” file. Right Click and select the option EDIT With Notepad.
• Step 3: Search for “HardwareFullScreenMode”. This option will be set as “1” i.e. it will be written as “HardwareFullScreenMode=1”
• Step 4: You have to replace it with “HardwareFullScreenMode=0” i.e. in place of HardwareFullScreenMode=1 you will have to put HardwareFullScreenMode=0
• Step 5: Save and Enjoy

NOTE: Few things that you need to remember here – The file GraphicsConfig.ini will appear only after you make few changes to the graphics setting. So if you are not finding the GraphicsConfig.ini file at the above mention location then do some changes to the graphics setting, just place with some default values, save and exit, and then look for GraphicsConfig.ini file at the above mention location.

Stuttering Issue Fix:

The main cause of Stuttering issue in Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition is the confusion in-game on whether to display GamePad or Keyboard Mouse Controls on the screen. Thankfully, this can be fixed by disabling On-Screen Control Display. To disable it follow the steps provided below: From The Game’s Main Menu select OPTIONS and then select GUIDE.

How To Fix No Sound Issue

In order to Fix No Sound issue in FFXV Windows Edition, you need to make a Switch to either Stereo or 7.1 Channels. This fix also works if you are experiencing a high-pitched noise in the game.

How To Fix White And Black Flickering

The cause of the White Filtering in FFXV Windows Edition is FXAA in Nvidia Control Panel. What FXAA does is it conflicts with the Filtering Setting available in-game. In order to fix it, you will have to TURN OFF Nvidia FXAA. If this doesn’t work then try to drop Filtering to a LOW value. The second option for you is to lower the Filtering Setting to a LOW value to remove white flickering.

How To Fix Black Flickering

The cause of Black Flickering in Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition is associated with many factors – it could be due to Memory Leak, bad CPU or GPU overclocking etc. If you are overclocking PC then I would recommend you to lower the intervals to fix the Black Flickering issue.

Preload Loop

A lot of players are reporting that the preload keeping looping and never completes in Final Fantasy XV. To fix it all you have to do is Delete the Preload file and redownload it. The preload file is located at this location – “steam\steamapp\depotcache”
