I had the problem that I could not add the line Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1 when I opened it in notepad(would not allow me to save properly). Just leaving this here since no one answered. Please help as I really want to play this game again. Save and retry SWTOR Forum Username = OwenBrooks Australian (Fellow SWTOR. Edit the clientdefaults ini and change fullscreen = true to false.

(x86) Electronic Arts BioWare Star Wars-The Old Republic swtor retailclient. Right after it shows Bioware it goes to a black screen. Any ideas?I'm running:-Parkard Bell ixtreme M5850Intel Core i5-2300 2.8GHz6Gb RAMWin 7 64-bitNVIDIA GeForce GT 420I've tried the solution above, the compatability /run as administrator solution, the run it on single core (affinity) solution.īut after upgrading to Windows 10 it crashes on startup. Sometimes at the same point and sometimes at different ones. Any idea why?My install of SWKotor also crashes my computer occasionally, which is even more worrying than just dropping the game, but normally it will just crash the game. I tried this but it won't allow me to save over the original file. If it still doesn't work, change your compatibility too. Change that to fullscreen=0, then also add a line under Graphics Options (the same section you just changed fullscreen in) that says AllowWindowedMode=1. Look under Graphics Options and there will be a line that says fullscreen=1. Go to a configuration file called swkotor. So give this a shot.Go to C:ProgamFilesSteamSteamappsCommonswkotor.

Everyone, this is what I did and it worked.

There is a widescreen hack but it can be a bit erratic whether it works or not. The game won't deal with high refresh rates so you may have to run your system as a lower rate - approximately half, so 60/72Hz.

You may have to play around with the resolution setting in the menu or if it won't even start then in the.ini file. OK, if your game crashes on startup try running in windowed mode and/or disabling the intro movies.If it crashes after creating your character disable frame buffer effects.Both are covered in this guide.If you are running a high res monitor or a 120/144Hz one the game simply won't handle that.
