Windowed Mode

[Blarp]

I just started playing and noticed that SE was kind enough to carry over the crash upon alt+tab "feature" from XI (that this is a problem with a 2010 game makes me laugh.) Windowed mode works fine except it's not windowed full-screen; it's an eyesore and cuts off the bottom part of my UI. This seems like a really simple fix for SE. This wouldn't be so bad if using a script to get rid of the border didn't incur the possibility of being banned.

For a game where I have to constantly have a browser open to look things up, this seems like a pretty obvious oversight. With the "full financial backing" from SE, this seems like a very quick and easy fix. If a community member can manage to write a four line script to solve the problem, then I'm sure SE can do it as well.

Just give me a maximize button, problem solved.

Problem is, SE doesn't consider that a priority as of yet. There are several ways to fix your issue however, either using a program such as ShiftWindow (no care, doesn't interact with FFXIV and therefore is not against ToS), or disable Windows Snapping.

This problem is so embarrassing >.<;

I wonder if it is resolution dependent. I have always run windowed and get the full UI. I may have had to move the chat boxes around, but the button bar and menus are fine. Do you have a screenshot? Maybe I or someone can help figure out what is wrong.

I play at 1920x1080 with dual monitors. The XP bars at the bottom of the screen get chopped off. It's obviously not gamebreaking in any sense, but it is quite annoying and is something that SE could probably fix quite quickly. Maybe I'm just being nitpicky. I realize they have an overwhelming amount of stuff on their plate, but come on, alt+tab crashing and no windowed full screen is just a tad outdated.

I hate windowed fullscreen mode

that's why I deleted my Dead Island

For the part hidden at the bottom, is that the task bar? If you right click on the Task Bar, go to Properties, to have it Auto-Hide is it still blocking the interface?

I have the taskbar set to auto-hide and even if you click the option, "keep the taskbar on top of other windows" it still doesn't show up while in FFXIV. You have to press the start key.

It is an embarrassing bug though. However, it's honestly not that different if you auto hide the task bar while in windowed.

People should try that if they haven't.

why cant u guys just put the task bar vertical instead of horizontal on the bottom? You can:
- see the full game screen and
- see all the browsers and windows open >.>
