Mouse not working in full screen

Hi , my mouse doesn't work on full screen. as soon as i change it to full screen my mouse cannot click on anything, i can hover over a button and it highlights but i cant click anything.

so the timer runs out and goes back to normal.

Once its back to normal the mouse no longer works in the game so i have to ctrl,alt,del to close the program down and run it again.

This is so frustrating , and after googling for ages it seems this only ever use to be an issue in 2013 lol with VIsta pcs.

Im running windows 10 64 bit , gtx1080 etc etc. a good computer. so i have no idea what the problem is.

Anyone know?

This also occurs even when i use the FFxiv software mouse. if any of you were thinking that would be a fix.#

Good afternoon and thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

When exactly did this start? Do you remember anything on your PC changing/updating that may coincide with this?

What kind of mouse do you have?

You don't have this same issue in borderless or windowed?

We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!

Hi
I have similar issues atm after the emergency maintenance, but i cant click anything in either full screen or window, keyboard dont seem to work either so i'm stuck at the start screen, any recommendations? or is it just a botched maintenance ?

Same Problem for me. I saw that the Maintenance was finished earlier so i rushed Online at about 11:45. Could use the Launcher without any Problem. But as soon as i got to the Main Menu i can't click on anything neither can i close FFXIV again. Not even the Steam Drop Down Menu would open up through my Keyboard. I restartet the Game and my PC a couple of Times. I unplugged and plugged my Mouse and Keyboard while the Game was closed and open. Nothing worked. Then i tried a Controller and boom. That worked. I logged in and everything was fine. I thought maybe for some reason i switched to Controller in the Options Menu. But it wasn't switched. I Switched between Mouse- and Keybard Mode and Controller Mode a couple of times but that dind't work either. I tried Setting it to Window cause normally i Play on Fullscreen. Didn't work either.

Im suing a Razer DeathAdder Chroma Mouse and a Razer BlackWidow Tournament Eddition. Haven't had any Problems with them neither had my PC any Updates or i changed something.

Sorry for the bad english :)

Same problem here. It only started after the emergency hotfix. It was fine yesterday.

Keyboard is CoolerMaster Devastator MB24 and Mouse is a CoolerMaster Devastator MB2k.

Hello!

Thank you for playing Final Fantasy XIV! Hope to see you online.

Anyone get it figured out? Frustrating

Thank you for the information everyone.

Do all of you have a gaming mouse/keyboard? If so, make sure that the drivers for these are up to date.

You can try a clean boot. Simply open the task manager and select the 'Start up' Tab. Disable everything here and restart the PC.

If these do not work, try a full reinstallation of the game. Make sure to reinstall the files in the 'My Documents' folder as well.

We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!
