Alt-tab from fullscreen

[Soukyuu]

Greetings, Soukyuu!
Thank you for your patience with the wait for a response to your report. After thoroughly inspecting this matter, the development team has found what you have describe to be the proper function of hitting the ALT+TAB keys at this time. However, they are currently looking into addressing this function in the future, so I highly recommend consulting http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com/ for any further developments. Thanks again for the heads-up!

Delsus,

This is working as intended until they create better hacking/botting counter measures.

If you also noticed they log everything that is installed and running on your computer.

Yuuup, functions exactly like XI did. Don't be surprised if sometime, somewhere, someplace when you least expect it, someone steps up to you and says, smile! Your next-gen game engine is from 2001!

Well, partially at least.

From the terrible programming, graphics aside of course, you could have told me that this game was programmed in 2001 and I would have believed you. SE needs needs to learn how to optimize.

Haha... it's funny they state it's functioning properly. Too bad for them the community is always two steps ahead of the developers.

Well, to be perfectly honest, they do mention it's working properly at this time, but it doesn't make it sound any better tbh.
That's just another caveat on the list... and FFXIV already has enough of them

I use windowed mode but it's basically full screen minus out the top part of the screen. Just go to your configuration and set it to windowed mode, and make sure to set the resolution to the same as your desktop. That's how I've always done it, and it works great!

This is one of those problems that I can't believe even exists in XIV. I mean, considering how long and hard players fought this exact same issue in XI, how could they choose not to make it possible in XIV? This kind of oversight is as major and strange as not having a sort function for the inventory, which they ALSO lacked for a good while after the official release. I just don't understand how they could have remotely thought that these kinds of things would fly.

Try that with a crossfire setup and find out why it does not work as great as you thought. Seriously, is it that hard to read the previous posts of a thread before posting? It was already mentioned at least 3 times why windowed mode is not enough in some scenarios and how it's not an excuse for a non-working fullscreen mode.

We spoke with the dev. team to find out what's being planned in regards to being able to alt-tab out of fullscreen and they said that they are looking into it, but that it'll take some time to address.

How the hell does something so simple take so much time to implement. It's 2011 people!

Has it been enough time yet?
