It's really weird that DisplayFusion can't see that process. Maybe it runs sandboxed or something. Is there some anti-cheat functionality in that game that you know of? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-window-not-detected-ffxiv/?ID=5cfcc4e5-374f-4e94-b9f5-b4cc2e553996#5 Wed, 26 Feb 2020 00:12:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-window-not-detected-ffxiv/?ID=5cfcc4e5-374f-4e94-b9f5-b4cc2e553996#5 DisplayFusion Yeah, that's just the launcher unfortunately, which isn't having issues like the game is. I think the game process is ffxiv_dx11.exe, or at least that's how it shows up in task manager. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-window-not-detected-ffxiv/?ID=5cfcc4e5-374f-4e94-b9f5-b4cc2e553996#4 Tue, 25 Feb 2020 15:38:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-window-not-detected-ffxiv/?ID=5cfcc4e5-374f-4e94-b9f5-b4cc2e553996#4 DisplayFusion Thanks! I can see this process has a taskbar button: ffxivboot.exe

Is that the game, or just the launcher for it? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-window-not-detected-ffxiv/?ID=5cfcc4e5-374f-4e94-b9f5-b4cc2e553996#3 Mon, 24 Feb 2020 22:07:28 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-window-not-detected-ffxiv/?ID=5cfcc4e5-374f-4e94-b9f5-b4cc2e553996#3 DisplayFusion Here it is, thank you again! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-window-not-detected-ffxiv/?ID=5cfcc4e5-374f-4e94-b9f5-b4cc2e553996#2 Mon, 24 Feb 2020 18:29:25 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-window-not-detected-ffxiv/?ID=5cfcc4e5-374f-4e94-b9f5-b4cc2e553996#2 DisplayFusion Was the attached troubleshooting info copied while the game was running? If not, could you send another copy while the game is running? I'd like to see if it shows up anywhere in there at all.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-window-not-detected-ffxiv/?ID=5cfcc4e5-374f-4e94-b9f5-b4cc2e553996 Sat, 22 Feb 2020 23:14:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-window-not-detected-ffxiv/?ID=5cfcc4e5-374f-4e94-b9f5-b4cc2e553996 DisplayFusion I haven't played FFXIV for a few months, so this may have been caused by a FFXIV update between major patches. If it is a game-side problem, I apologize.

The FFXIV game window doesn't seem to be detected by DisplayFusion. It doesn't show up in the taskbar or the alt+tab menu at all, but it DOES show up on the Windows taskbar and alt+tab menu. The launcher works fine, this issue is only present on the game itself.

Compatability settings don't seem to do anything. The menu for compatability settings doesn't list it while it's running and the click+drag automatic selection ignores it completely.

Thus far my workaround has been to disable the taskbar on that monitor completely, but that's not entirely ideal. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ]]>
