What FFXIV:ARR needs more than anything!

[Xerius]

For me it's not a problem of how good it runs it's a matter of the screen not fitting in the window. If I have it much bigger than I have it now my action bar will disappear below my start up menu. For some reason it can't seem to center itself.

If you can find that elusive actual fullscreen-window option, use that. Since I use it for other games as well, I just downloaded Auto-Hotkey and use this script:

^+a::
WinSet, Style, -0xC00000,a ; remove the titlebar and border(s)
WinMove, a, , 0, 0, 1680, 1050 ; move the window to 0,0 and resize it to 1680x1050
return

Set to Shift-A. Doesn't toggle back and forth, but it'll get the job done. And, no window borders.

Edit* Set your own wanted resolution where I have mine.

Edit** You can change the binding with an overriding option for all scripts on Auto-Hotkey, or the top line. Should also be able to set it to return to a regular windowed mode with an additional two lines; I've just never had the need.

Edit*** as someone mentioned later down, the hotkey might be CTRL-Shift-A by default when DLed now. Should say when you install it. : )

Ahhhh, thank you this should be quite helpful until 2.0 launches! ^^ For the resolution, I'd use my native resolution though not 1680x1050 though, right?

though, cant you get banned for use of autohotkey and autoit? those are used for very many botting communities afterall.

Note - If you're using this script it's ctrl+shift+a to activate without any additional bindings, but thumbs up for the script!

You can drag and drop all in game boxes. If your action bar drops below the start up menu, go back to a smaller window size, arrange it so that all your boxes (chat logs, action bar, exp bar, health bar, utility bar, debuff/buff bar, map, date, moon phase) are centered away from the edges. Then change the window size to that which you desire and rearange all the boxes to their desired positions.

I don't really know the reason that resizing the window shifts all the ingame boxes one way or another. I would think the client intelligent enough to recognize where the boxes are in relation to the windows edges and rearrange them accordingly regardless of the window size but that doesn't yet seem to be possible.

I hope that works if not the above mentioend script.
