FFXIV Always load in windowed mode

[Erim-Nelhah]

I'm using DX9 (I get horrible framerates in DX11), and here is the hotfix I used to solve the problem:

-Open up FFXIV.cfg (MAKE AN EMERGENCY BACKUP COPY IN CASE YOU MESS UP!!!)
-Scroll down a bit, look under Display Settings
-Check the values for ScreenTop and ScreenLeft
-If either of these two numbers are not 0, change them to such.
-Save the file, reload launcher

Once you do this, it should stay. I haven't had to fix mine since making that edit, and the game loads as it should.

This alone isn't enough, you also have to set ScreenWidth and ScreenHeight to appropriate values for your display. Apparently the dx9 client now respects these values in borderless mode, but doesn't save them. :/
