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.)
It really is a feature though! Logging out takes for EFFING ever. You have to wait a good 30 seconds to get back to the character selection screen, then pick "Exit". Next, wait about 10 seconds for the title screen, then select quit. Most of the time, I just get to that 30 second loading screen and mash Alt+Tab or my Windows button and crash the game out just to get back to my desktop faster. :-P

Honestly though, I play full screen and keep my laptop nearby for looking up stuff. I'm beginning to think this game is giving me Stockholm Syndrome.

As far as fixing it, I'll leave you with the non-technical TL;DR version:

It's actually a more complicated fix than you think and seems to be occurring within the low-level engine SE has been leveraging for several of it's games, not the game itself. The engine also comes from a different group that may or may not be directly associated with the FFXIV people.
