Force Window Mode (Can't stay in Fullscreen)

[Kaskya]

Evening all.

Every time I open FF14 (from Steam) after the launch it loads windowed mode. I click on it, and it goes fullscreen for a second then goes back to windowed mode. Can't select anything (when I click on it, it just tries to fullscreen then fails).

Anyone had this, or know of a fix?

Are your graphic driver updated?

Good morning! Thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

Please try the following:
- Update and reinstall the drivers for your graphics card and sound drivers (if applicable).
- Please try adjusting/lowering the resolution.
- If you are using Windows, you may have OneDrive running in the background. This program may be attempting to sync your local files, preventing the launcher from properly updating. If possible, please try disabling this program to see if it helps.
- Please try running the game as an administrator.
- Please be sure that Final Fantasy XIV is installed to the C: Drive. (If Steam version, make sure both the game and Steam are installed on same drive)
- Verify installation files (Steam)
