Do you guys need Fullscreen Windowed?

All I'm doing is making my windowed screen (which is perfectly legal with FFXIV ToS) give the APPEARANCE of being fullscreen.

I'm sorry that you have to be 100% wrong, but you are.

I don't recall mentioning the FFXI Windower....

I was talking about the FFXIV Windower that was made the moment the game was released which was specifically only to make a Fullscreen Windowed and it was still shot down by S-E/

So no I'm not 100% wrong nor did you win any prizes.

Just using a program to relocate the window cant really be a major issue.
(I use game relocator to move the window atm, still having borders is a touch annoying but not an issue What's the point in having a decent pc with 4 screens if i'm forced onto 1 cos if out of date ideas)
Widower, yes well it has other applications besides just moving the window, so that needed looking into.

My main problem is I cant use me other GPU's to run a 2nd copy, til recently i was just using a old pc and low res, not sure what il do now that one has been rebuilt for other people.
Although If i want to run 2 accounts i'd be forced to look at using windower (>.<)
Thanks SE lol.

I didn't know there was a windower besides the FFXI one. Maybe be more specific next time? The premise is still correct though. You claim manipulating Windows is a violation of ToS, when clearly I'm using the windowed mode that SE staff implemented themselves, all I'm doing is making it so I don't see a border, so I'm not violating anything. Period.

soo where is this program?

Yah enough TOS malarcy, SE dont even ban plain botters so legit players wont be found!

Show us the program and if it gets removed by mod, so be it. We will be forced to go rogue since SE do not want to embrace what is already going to happen!

lol well...good luck to all of you...

I just want a maximize button for windowed mode.

That's pretty much what this is doing.

I did this for awhile, but stopped since it won't work with SLI.

What I do now is run XIV through steam, and I use the crummy web browser that comes with the Steam overlay to look stuff up on websites.

Well that sucks. Well it works for everyone NOT using SLI. Sorry Eekiki lol. Though I imagine there may be something similar out there that creates the same effect.
