Pressing the Windows button on the keyboard in full screen mode crashes the game

o.O wow I was just pointing out that that's the reason to as why they implimented the whole windows mode because of things that happen to that. There was no need for hostility on your part of that reply. I remember the same thing happen when I played 11 and it would log you out and crash the game things happen. Anyway it's up to you or your friend to use windowed mode or not *shrugs* no skin off my teeth. And quite honestly it was put in the general discussion where for people to voice their own opinions on the matter. So without further ado. Thank you very much. You have a wonderful day today sir or maam and I hope you start to feel better down the road.

Negative, dude. You posted because you support this stupid bug, which takes your ability to reason effectively into question. If you have failed to indicate that you want this bug fixed now would be the time to stop making excuses and say you would like this bug to not exist.

Lol did the square enix apologists really tell people to go to microsoft and have the windows button disabled?
Really? Is that what we're doing again, defending and justifying the game's frank industry standard-failing nonsense?

Thanks Peregrine. People will do anything to justify the money they've spent. If I could afford it I would buy out all the white knights so they would get enough self-esteem back to post rationally on these forums. It's sad that $50 or $80 is enough to completely shut down their reasoning skills.

and thats why windower existed in FFXI X_D

i still dont get how a new gen mmorpg fails in the most simple thing ..............

I made this bug report on behalf of a friend of mine that recently started playing FFXIV and got disconnected from a guildleve and failed it as a result of pressing one button on the keyboard. The mod moved it here for discussion and now you white knights are embarrassing the entire community by defending A BUG because you get off to Square Enix. You should think about what you post and the consequences of it, because this isn't some random forum where you can voice your stupid opinion with no consequences. Every time one of you fails to support something that improves the game for newcomers you are making Square Enix a stupider company for listening to your feedback.

Marry me. Seriously, Neptune, you crack me up. Thanks for posting.

Where did I say in my post that I supported any bugs to stay in the game again pointed out that they tried to correct said issue with the windower mode because people complained in 11 that they would not be able to stay in game and go off to check out other things on their computer. Thus was the reason why the hacked windower came out then SE themselves implimented it into the first FFXI. Now they automatically included windower mode in this game without having to wait years for their customers to complain and whine about it. And quite honestly I'd rather use windowed mode instead of the full screen but then again to each their own.

Really people just don't have the self-control to not whine about seeing criticism that they've already seen. Thus, they end up getting stuck defending ridiculously stupid causes like the game forgetting its own display settings if the computer doesn't perpetually hold its hand.

lol. I wish I wasn't so hostile but these white knights aren't making it easy.

no windowed (full screen) mode in FFXIV ....u are forced to use programs like shiftwindow , steam ect

anyway why the game crash on ALT TAB , or any other thing is beyond me....

Who cares, they're thinking about it. We'll know for sure.

The fatal flaw, and the one that's apparently not being corrected, is that you never make this mistake in the first place as a respectable, or even official, game developer. So many errors in XIV are simply never events for a game maker.

This is like if Derek Jeter took off to third base if he got a hit. You do that when you're 7 and have never hit a ball before in your life.

this is so easily fixable by the end user, probably took more time to sign into the forums to complain than to fix the issue, autohotkey, or any other of the options available will fix it, autohotkey also allows for easy movement of the game around multiple monitors and a lot of other uses
