When I tried to install it, my game crashes on start.

It looks very amazing. Too bad it seems not to work on my Gforce card, the game won't launch

Anyway now at least I can play it, but if anyone know how to solve the scaling problem also can help me. Thanks everyone :)

I found my main problem of crash. I'm using external monitor and i can play it through nvidia processor. I think it has something to do with the scaling problem.

Upon further research, toggling on FFXA in the Nvidia Control Panel for KOFXIV also causes the problem. Enabling it caused the crash again, and disabling it fixed it again.
