Checked out that link, said "they are looking into it" which for SE can mean many things. I hope it means they will truly fix it but who knows.

I beleave that they will atleast see if its feasable, from what I have heard the problem is to do with Dx9 having to draw the differant resolutions for the desktop and the game. I beleave it could be fixed if they make a change to the engine but that would be a botch, also Dx10/11 should fix it but it doesnt look like we will get that anytime soon

Just run a script to put it in full screen windowed mode. SCRIPTS ARE YER FREND!

It's not just feasible - it's the correct way to do it.

This is effectively a bug. SE says it's "by design" but it is a bug. It's well-documented how to do this in Direct3D.

The lack of dev answer of this question is frightening. This should have been top priority since the beta.

They already answered on this subject.

A real answer. Not something in the lines of "we are looking into it but it's complicated".

Thats actually not Full Screen though.... Its just what it says... Borderless windowed mode
For immersion purposes there is no perceived difference...
But in all other aspects, it is still windowed mode...
I use the borderless window script though.... Its useful

Fullscreen windowed is functionally the exact same thing as normal windowed is, you lose Crossfire not being true fullscreen. The only difference is fullscreen windowed is immobile and covers everything, windowed is still only a 2-3px border at the top of my monitor so barely any actual difference.

one again the tool allow you to go full screen you put your config into fullscreen and allow you to get that little FPS you lost while going in windower because SE sucks at making windower and you always lose FPS in it even in ffxi.
