Alt-tab from fullscreen

I fail to understand how this can "take some time to address." You alt-tab out of FFXIV, your D3DDevice returns D3DERR_DEVICELOS. So for whatever reason, SE throws a windows error to crash your game. Bot prevention? Who knows. Anyways, alt-tab back in, D3D is smart enough to recognize it needs to reacquire itself for it's rendering calls. Remove the damn error call. Solved. I work with DirectX9, and i've never seen something this stupid.

I worked with all DX and even the modified PS3 OGL, it's not bot prevention so much as is it needing to port the game to the PS3, they don't seem to work on absolutely separate versions of the game, since XI even crashed on alt+tab and it was a straight port from the PS2 with very little changes to it core.
