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

[Neptune]

Did you know there is a button you can press on the keyboard that crashes the game and disconnects you from the server?

And this is a new and relevant bug report?

If you feel this makes the game unplayable, you can visit Microsoft, do a search on disable windows key, and you will see two reg files, one to disable and one to enable the windows key.

That being said, yes, I too wish for them make alt + tab function like in most other windows applications.

Thanks Loth, I think your suggestion is so incredibly helpful that I am going to volunteer to send postcards out to all 600,000 people that purchased a copy of FFXIV to let them know that they can visit Microsoft, do a search on disable windows key, that they will see two reg files, one to disable and one to enable the windows key, and a reminder to backup their mother $%#@ING registry lest they irreparably harm their computer by noobishly editing it.

lol, you must be new here.

Be nice to the mods!

Hey, this is one of those beaten to death topics, thought everyone already knew that it needs to be fixed and that there are options out there that allow you play in a pseudo-full screen form so you may alt-tab without crashing.

I'm sure the mod knows that. After all, he could have just submitted the bug report. I wasn't trying to call you out though, just didn't want the mod's feelings to get hurt.

Tell SE this was also the case with FFXI actually but they still haven't learned. Its the same alt+tab...

heres some feed back,the poster above is fanboyish enough to leave it to microsoft for the windows button crashing the game even though the game SHOULD NOT crash when ANY button is just pressed. that is what "log out" is for.

let us be able to minimize full screen like every other MMO please.

speaking of "log out", is it so much to ask for "shut down" to be added?
