Alt-tab from fullscreen

[Nabiri]

I don't believe its something they "don't" want you to do so they haven't made it an option, I think it has more to do with the actual game engine itself. Since when you alt-tab right now you crash the game, also, when in windowed mode if you launch your task manager or other programs which take over the display for a moment it will also crash FFXIV (in windowed mode) so right now I believe its a limitation of the game engine and its relationship with your video drivers. I could be wrong but that's what i'm seeing.

This is something I've been thinking about. I wonder if it's something they're even able to do.

Please add this, I'd like to be able to play full screen.

Heck, I'd like to be able to have windowed full screen. While I'm aware there are methods for a "pseudo form" of it, I'm not keen on having to download extra programs for this.

Problem is, this "pseudo form" (Not really pseudo, since it's very much real), is going to be your only option for a while. Not sure if anyone remembers the full screen frustrations of XI, but considering the issues in-game I wouldn't bet on having this feature until the full overhaul is finished first.

Unless theres huge problems with adapting the game engine to it then they should, all other PC games allow it. Also if your running an SLI or crossfireX setup you need to be in full screen for it to work properly which is just another reason why it should be added
