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

And row, disabling areo snap should fix the issue your having with the windowed mode. might take a bit of fiddling when you launch the game to get the window just right but it should be possible to create a faux full screen experience.

Oh, wow, Griss, thanks! I'm embarrassed to admit I didn't know I could turn that feature off. It's been driving me nuts because I don't like computers telling me what they think I should do (hence why I'm a Mac hater). Now I can arrange my windows however I like, and not get them shoved downward!

This does make my FFXIV experience (and Windows experience) slightly better. Thanks.

P.S. However, still doesn't change the fact that SE needs to fix the DirectX issue so I can play in full screen again. >.<

No, No it doesn't. but ya gotta do what ya gotta do until the actual problem is fixed.

Happy to hear that worked out for you though.
