Full-Screen, alt+tab= Crash

When playing in Windowed mode, if i alt tab, or get taken off the FF14 screen, it will crash the game with a Directx 7 type of issue as it says.

This issue has been acknowledged but it hasn't been fully addressed. "we're looking into it" is a lot better than "it's working as intended". my only recommendation is to not play full screen if you need to get in and out of ffxiv.

Not sure when SE is planning on addressing this, but I'm guessing it will be around 2.0

I really hope they do fix this problem in 2.0. As for me i cant play in windowed or i crash and not being able to alt tab out of full screen is the most annoying thing ever.

You could always play windowed full screen. Alt+tabbing doesn't break that way.

Full Screen Windowed doesnt really exist, you just have to make it the same size, but the ends of the screen are cut off.

The performance of windowed mode will also never be as good as fullscreen.

Again, it is just windowed full screen. Not actually full screen.

What they need to do is add in game options to change the type of screening the game does. Full-screen, Windowed, and Windowed(Full-screen)

It may lack in performance but short of getting yourself another monitor it's really the only option.

I thought they said this was something that was going to be fixed faster than 2.0 from what I heard.
