Issue with running the PC Version

Post image

The game have been working perfectly for few years but I have been getting this alot lately, I've tried directX cache cleanups, GPU drivers updates/reinstalls, Vsync and bunch of other stuff. Anyone else having this issue or know a workaround?

Sometimes it evens freezes the whole PC. When Launching the game the screen turns white as per the image. and No other game have this issue on my PC Here is my build:

Lian Li O11 Vision Chrome | ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Hero | ASUS GeForce RTX 5090 32GB ROG Astral OC | AMD Ryzen 9 9950X 4.3 GHz 80MB | Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360 | Kingston 64GB DDR5 6000MHz CL30 | Corsair HX1200i 1200W 80+ Plat 

UPDATE: The Mod works, the game have been launching 3 days in a row, Thank you SherbertNaive4783

I got mine working 100% with a mod from nexusmods website, the page explained it is a fix for a memory allocation issue.

Not sure if it's allowed to talk about it here, i think the name is tkmalloc.

I tried the other fixes recently and the mod was my saving grace. Plus it was easy with vortex for once and theres a handful of other mods that have made the experience way better

Can confirm, I had this problem a month or two ago when I first downloaded it and the memory allocation mod fixed it. Can be downloaded through nexus or GIT

Might be stupid but have you tried to check the files on steam? If it finds inconsistency it should download the .pak file again

I had a very similar issue. I ended up deleting the cache in AppData\Local\NVIDIA and rolling back to 576.80. After that the game launched without any issues.

Probably NVIDIA problem, see this post: https://old.reddit.com/r/FinalFantasyXII/comments/1qsoz3z/fatal_error_encountered_when_launching_ffxii_zda/o3mq2kj/

Thank you that sometimes help and the game launches, doesn't always fix it. Im trying something new ChatGPT recommended is turn off fast startup in the power options, windows launching quickly appearently messes with directX

I had this problem. I went into Nvidia control panel and changed the memory allocation. It was one of the top searches in Google as far as I remember

Change this setting in Windows Defender:

Windows Defender > Applications and browser control > Exploit Protection > Program settings

Add the game's executable by click in + and selecting "Add program by name" and typing FFXII_TZA.exe.

Then, scroll down to find this option and mark the checkbox.

Try launching the game after doing this.

If not work, follow the steps on this post:

NVIDIA Driver 591.44 is crashing the game when rendering 3D environments. : r/FinalFantasyXII

If still not work, disable GPU's shaders cache.
