Alt+Tab

[SirOleas]

I know this seems small and perhaps unimportant but being able to minimize the game screen to do other tasks would be great.

[Deo]

There is a windowed mode you can use?

It would however be nice to minimize full screen without it crashing, I use two monitors and it would be nice to have the game exclusively on one of them, in full screen mode.

I want two screens. Sounds like a great way to play

[SirOleas]

I don't like windowed mode. Lot's of people don't. lol

Window mode is not a solution, we need to be able to have actual fullscreen and be able to alt tab

Yes, please!

[saudrapsmann]

But... It's a great way to close the game.

Whenever I don't feel like waiting to shut down I'll just alt+tab :P

Windowed mode is not an answer, it's pretty absurd for a game to crash when tabbed out in fullscreen. There are performance benefits of running in fullscreen, additionally, the game has no control over your screen's gamma when running windowed. The idea that accidentally hitting the windows key or needing to check something on the same PC would crash the game...

The game needs to be able to handle being tabbed out of, plain and simple. Fullscreen (Windowed) is not the same thing, but it is equally necessary. Not having either is embarrassing.

ALT+F4?

[OJtheLIONKing]

Yes please. I prefer playing games in fullscreen mode, but not at the cost of knowing if I accidentally hit alt+tab (something I've done repeatedly while trying to hit my IME hotkeys) I will instantly crash the game and fail any levequests I'm on. I have multiple computers, but being able to look up things on a single computer while playing in fullscreen is kind of standard. The windowed mode also has worse performance ingame, and considering what a resource hog this game is it needs every drop it can get.

Really, this is a standard feature in any game that's been made in the past 5 years at least, I was honestly shocked when FF14 hadn't solved the problem that FFXI players have been rightfully complaining about for years.

[Lahru_Hukurou]

I agree. I think the argument for not being able to do so, to be really ridiculous.
