Why does the game runs at low priority?

[Rica]

Upon starting the game I can see in the windows task manager ffxivlogin.exe process, normal priority is assigned, then entered the game and verify that the process is no longer the ffxivlogin.exe, ffxivgame.exe but this is the game and if we see when we see it this low priority. No problem if you're playing in windowed mode change it manually, but if you play in crossfire and you're in windowed mode does not work the second video card. It is a problem because if these in full screen mode and use ALT + Tab the game closes. If I saw that the game runs much better when I put on normal priority.

Why run the game on low priority and not in normal priority?

Is there any way to make it run at normal priority without having to do it manually because I want to play in full screen?

Thanks & Regards

Fail coding xD ... just like most of FF 14 lol In fullscreen by default though it won't run on low, it's a windowed issue only, so don't worry about it when in fullscreen

I find that it actually switches priorities depending on if it is the active application or not. If it's the active program it will switch to normal priority, likewise if it's the background application [not the one in focus] it switches to low priority instead. Since you're seeing it as low in the task manager, FFXIV has already switched to low as it was then not the active application up front.

One can monitor the priority changes themselves as they wish by using a few batch commands in a loop outside the program to log program priority settings.
