Fix alt-tab crash maybe?

[Jasdemi]

Holy shit. I've posted this issue in the Japanese tech support, but none responded at all - in 5 days.
Even better: None replied to or opened a new thread in their tech support forum for 5 f***ing days!

Which means: The japanese tech support forum is inactive for at least 5 days now.

This eplains a lot. The japanese players are either too shy or don't give a shit about a major bug, which crashes the game EVERYTIME they minimize the game.


Conclusion
- Square Enix doesn't give a shit to the suggestions of the non-english speaking community.
- Japanese players either don't give a shit about major bugs which crashes their game or are too afraid to express their opinion.


Funny, yet F***ING SAD! LOL!


PS: Here's the japanese thread: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-Alt-Tab-crash

Really?! A Japanese thread in the English forums? Maybe many ppl not consider this a mayor bug like others, and for this u can allways play in windowed mode while something is done about this.

You can, if you had a system 25% more powerful than your current one, since that's the hit FFXIV takes when running windowed. Shame that somehow FFXIV takes a massive hit when most other games I've tried running windowed barely take 2%.

And by 'while something is done' you mean "while a new windower gets developed and doesn't get shutdown by SE because they realize it solves a massive problem with the game engine".

Their priorities are ****ing retarded. The beta windower worked great; solved the issue, and was shutdown for reasons unknown. If fullscreen crash is to prevent hacking; DON'T OFFER WINDOW MODE AT ALL. LOGIC? This pisses me off so bad that they have learned NOTHING from the problem with FFXI. NINE YEARS it's been, ****.


Sorry, really, but it suddenly infuriated me at the moment. I still want to rant, but I'm going to lay down instead.

They never fixed this problem with XI why would they fix it in xiv. I just play in windowed mode, and no I don't answer questions for people who play in fullscreen with no websites up, I would but gets annoying. Also task manager interrupts Direct X in FF's opinion lol, I'm sure how they would fix this, only really low quality games can share Direct X like "mount and blade" (still a great game).

[SigurdSilbrynd]

Saying that it's working as intended and made to prevent botting makes no sense, given that you can play the game in windowed mode.

Looking at it from a development standpoint, windowed mode was probably added since the customer base wanted it, however they probably assumed that was enough and never went back to fix/change the code to allow what would be considered "Fullscreen Windowed" like in WoW.

You're not gonna find many people that don't want full-screen alt-tab.

I beg to differ. If it wasn't wanted, this thread wouldn't be here. If you don't want to use it, don't.

If it does get implemented and it makes you angry, be my guest and just Alt-F4 in the middle of a guildleve when you accidentally click out side the window or hit the windows key.

I think you missed that there are two negatives in that sentence. >_>

That is, most people do want full-screen alt-tab. . .
