Just curious if anyone else has had issues with this in ffxi? It's the only game for me it happens in. It didn't used to with much much older driver versions but any driver from this year seems to get driver timeout crashes often.

Oddly, when multi boxing, it only happens to one or rarely two of the windows. Seems to happen on cutscenes or teleport animations.

Again just curious if anyone else has had this issue in this game and if so were you able to fix it?

Are you using reshade? Don't if you are. I went through so much to finally figure out that was my problem. I had a similar issue where only 1 of my windows would crash. After uninstalling reshade, the crashes stopped. GL!

Just blanket statement saying it's reshade is completely wrong. I run reshade tri boxing and have no issues with driver timeouts. The more likely culprit is one of the plugins was causing an issue.

Driver timeouts are due to a multitude of things. If you have already tried multiple drivers, then i suggest next moving on to checking card settings, making sure you do not have an agressive OC. You can also undervolt the card slightly to see if the manufacturer tuned it too high. I'd also suggest checking your plugs on your GPU, sometimes plugging in 2 plugs on the same rail causing voltage sag and forces driver timeouts (been there).
