Alt + Tab yes please :D

[Skeeter]

Dunno if it was mentioned yet but there is a program called Shiftwindow that can make the game exactly like windowed maximized. Set the game config to windowed and same resolution as your desk top and shiftwindow to force it full screen without borders. Alt tabbing will be a breeze. Its not like windower either, it works on almost all games. Once the window is full screen you can close Shiftwindow.

What about an in-game browser? Maybe limit the links to your account for adding options, The Lodestone, FFXIV Forums,and FFXIV Wiki. That might alleviate the need for Alt+Tab.

Please,fix this.

My friend wont come back to the game if they don't fix it,he only has 1 computer,he hates windowed mode and needs to check recipes on yg all the time.

edit: Well, looks like at least it was forwarded to the devs or something: click
Whatever might come out of it...

Yes!!! I'm glad this issue is finally getting some attention. It's never even been acknowledged until now.

Not being able to alt+tab out of full screen is horribly annoying. Given the fact it's basically a game standard now, it's something I find myself doing out of habit and crashing the game because I always play in fullscreen. Windowed mode's reduced framerate is noticeable on my rig, plus I can't stand the fact that the titlebar pushes a small bit of the bottom of the game off my screen.

With few in-game tutorials and a lack of recipe book, this game leaves you with little alternative but to look for the information needed to play it on the Lodestone and 3rd party websites. As such, the idea that I should have a laptop or my Blackberry at the ready so I can do so is ridiculous. I wouldn't suggest the equally ridiculous notion that SE supply me with extra hardware. But allowing me to alt+tab out of the game so I can get to my web browser is an essential tool.

During the old days of FFXI before windowed mode was implemented and smartphones didn't exist, I had to look up everything on an archaic gimp laptop running Windows 98. That just really brings back bad memories.

In the eyes of SE that still counts as a 3rd party program and probly bannable that is why I did not mention it.

explain? and is "tearing" those random white lines in CSs I get here n there?

Look here.

For all the guys saying "windowed game" "autohotkey" ecc, i know exist, i use it. But still, the script for hiding boorders mean it's a fake fullscreen. It have the same performance of regular windowed mode. Try a game in true fullscreen and you'll see better performance. That's why alt+tab in fullscreen it's a welcome feature (and don't really open a window for botting since there's already windowed mode...)

run it though steam and still be able look thing up online

To go further. If you can afford dual GTX / Radeon cards and 3d vision kits to play in 3d, it would be silly to now retort you cannot afford a $150-200 tablet

urgh stop making so many sweeping statements for the sake of argument

[Spellstar]

I don't know how I so easily walk in to some of these little spouts. they are silly, and there is no point to them.

I have told myself I'd do better about not getting into bickery, and I will stick to it. I'm sorry Molly_Millions. I'm going to walk away from this. I should not of pushed such a simple, and arbitrary thing to a stupid level.

We're all here for a common purpose (hopefully) discuss the game, the pros the cons, and hopefully also how to make it better.

Thank god for that, all i read is you being so sure of yourself and you have such an "I am right, everyone else i wrong" attitude. Now you have resolved to not post bickering comments, we should no longer be reading anything from you at all I hope.
