The app style menu will pop once and awhile, but rarely. This last time was at the worst possible moment, right during a HM Primal fight.

I don't use the CRL to access my moves, I just use my mouse to execute my skills so my fingers are typically not in this general area. I read up on this issue in a several places but it was never answered.

I'm just curious on other's experience with 8.1, I'm a little hesitant on upgrading.

If I had a choice I would have Win7, but I got such a good deal on my system that it trumps the fact its preinstalled with Win8 (my Asus G750JX-DB71 scores 7-8k on max-graphics on the bench and it never overheats). To go backwards will be challenging to find appropriate drivers for all the new hardware, I think it could create more issues than what I'm dealing with currently. I had originally played FFXIV 1.0 on a bootcamp Win7 macbook, but it could not handle 2.0.
