Seriously, Fix the DirectX issue already!

You cant take advantage of crossfire in FFXIV windowed mode. Rendering the game unplayable for anyone who has this issue. The game doesn't even want to run crossfire in full-screen unless you tweak things with radeonpro. Not to mention there's no proper full-screen windowed mode so you have irritating borders. God forbid you can't play at your native resolution. :/
If anyone wants to fork out 400$ for a new videocard I'll gladly take you up on the offer. :P

If the game was proper DX10/11 xfire would work windowed, but we don't have that luxury. Though enabling 10/11 would negate the positive effects of crossfire in the first place.

I'd be willing to put money on it that SE doesn't see this as an issue. FFXI was "designed" the same way. They wanted to give the "Console experience" (barf) to PC users playing the game. Guess they didn't think that I play on PC because I don't like the console experience. Anyway, I don't think it would be an easy fix. It would probably take an extensive rework of something.

My band-aid solution? Put a an old pos laptop beside me

I think the full screen toggle crash should also be dealt with it's 2011 people!

I've played quite a few PC games in 2011 that still has programming and DX utilization issues. It's 2011, issues will always exist in gaming, especially PC gaming.

I haven't played ANY PC games that take nearly a YEAR to fix an issue like this. If people found a 3rd party temporary fix months ago, SE should have had this fixed by now. It's getting a bit ridiculous at this point.
