Won't Relaunch In True Fullscreen and Keeps Tabbing Out
So, been having this problem for a few months, and it seems to be two fold.
I can set my game to full screen mode, and it will launch into it properly as it should, but for some reason now, when I exit the game and reopen it, it says that it is still in full screen, shows that it has the same display settings as my monitor, but there is a clear dulling of the colors and if I click out of it, it behaves as borderless windowed mode instead. If I want to get back into true full screen, I have to switch modes to borderless windowed, then turn full screen back on. It's not a huge deal in and of itself, but it is a bit annoying I have to remember to do this every time I relaunch the game.
The second issue that seems to have popped up right around the same time, and the bigger reason I have to make sure to switch back to full screen, is at random times the game will act as though I tried to tab out of it.
If I forget to revert to full screen, it will reduce the size of the window to bring up the desktop, and I have to click out and click back in again to get back into the game.
It will still do this if I switch back to full screen, but instead of semi-minimizing, it will act as though I clicked out of the game on to something else, but I will then have to physically click out of the game on my desktop menu bar or something on my other screen, then click back into the game again.
It will do this no matter where I am in the game, though I notice it seems to happen more frequently when I am in dungeons or other instanced content.
And yes, I've been careful to make sure that I'm not accidently clicking out of the game onto my second screen. This will happen even if I'm not touching anything on my computer or my keyboard at all.
It does not seem to be an issue with any other game or program I own, so I think the problem is unique to FFXIV or some process that only seems to effect it.
I have also tried using the repair options in the game launcher, and recently my game acted as though it had been fresh installed and I had to download all of my user and character settings from the cloud to fix them. Thankfully I had a relatively recent upload on all of them and only had to fix a few minor things on my dragoon's hotbars.
This happened about a week before the most recent patch. I thought the problem was gone for a few days, but it seems to still be there, albeit happening a little less often.
System info incase it will help
