    Terminating the game when it looses focus is not exactly acceptable. There is no reason for the game to terminate.

    Can't get banned for using that script, the only thing it does is modify windows, not the game itself. But I still agree, it's a stupid thing that players have to find ways to compensate for this oversight.

    doesnt the final fantasy client read which programs you have in the background and send that data back to the server though?

    No of course not. That would be seen as a major invasion of users privacy.

    I really hope that this didn't get pushed on the back-burner. I haven't seen it mentioned (although that doesn't mean anything I miss a lot of information apparently). I'm tired of having this nice machine to play upper-tier video games, but still having to play in this tiny box for FFXIV because the windowed mode makes more problems then solutions that it's worth at larger window sizes.
    Well, generally speaking , as good as FFXIV 1.0 looked it did not look THAT good to warrant the kind of machine you need to play it. On my same machine I built for it I have played deus ex, battlefield 3, mass effect 1-3, and batman arkham city all with graphics settings on as high as they would go with relatively little or no graphical performance decrease.

    FFXIV 1.0 on the other hand..... Sorry, but that's just poor design, or coding, or something.

    Greetings multi-taskers!

    As long as your PCs are up to par with the recommended specs, you will be able to ALT+TAB safely out of full-screen mode without the game crashing.

    No, that's not what he said we're getting. He said we'll be able to alt tab from full screen mode without the game crashing. This person is asking for a borderless window of the same size as the screen resolution. Alt tabbing is much faster when a program is not in fullscreen mode, but he still wants it to take up the whole screen. Borderless window is a common option in games these days.

    A borderless window the size of the screen does result in a very slight performance decrease because the game doesn't have exclusive control of the screen with this method. However, alt-tabbing is instant like it is for any other program, instead of that lengthy delay you get when alt tabbing from a true fullscreen mode.
