    Minimazing FFXI (Newbie question)

    Is there a way to minimize Final Fantasy 11 without the game crashing? Whenever I hit tab+ALT the game always crashes on me. Any help would be great

    In the set up, the one that is called ffxi config, there is an option to switch from full screen to windowed mode. This allows you to minimize, maximize, or window ffxi while playing the game.

It encourages you to explore the whole breadth of content rather than asking you to bumrush and bypass all the old content just so you can grind the newer content. This is a model used by other MMOs such as WoW, and while I don't have anything against people that enjoy this model, if I wanted to play an MMO with that model there are many, many games vast superior to XI in terms of mechanics and especially customer service that offer such a model.

    Please note that just about any program that will take control of the system will crash the game. If you try installing just about anything, or actively updating your virus scanner etc. only Web Browsers seem not to be able to crash it. I had a friend play Diablo 2 while running Dynamis one time. YMMV.

    Not if you lower UAC one level so it doesn't dim the screen.

    My UAC is low, It's not that, my PC just seems to crash XI when any little hiccup occurs.

    If it has nothing to do with OpenGL/DirectX, then that is rather peculiar indeed. :]

    MiniMaZing sounds like a combination of the word "Mini" and "Amazing".

    Minimazing FFXI could be a fun Chibi-Style Final Fantasy game based in the FFXI Universe. Single Player, on the 3DS or something.

    They need a whole Minimazing Series of games now, a new Handheld Franchise.
