Re: Launching the game on Steam forces my PC to reboot

@oneRaijin 

add the lines per the guide if they dont exist 

Open the client_settings.ini file in notepad and ensure the following are displayed within 

Fullscreen = false
D3DFullScreen = false
RefreshRate = 60

  • Alright I've gone ahead and added "Fullscreen = false" and "RefreshRate = 60" in it while also changing "D3DFullScreen" from "true" to "false". I attached how it looks.

  • @proxos666 Alright so I was able to launch the game by doing this. My question is, if I were to change the game to fullscreen within the game's settings, will it prevent me from launching again? I've yet to go past the character creation screen so I haven't tried it myself as I need to leave for a bit. I just want to know if by doing what you had told me should fix the rebooting issues and that it was never going to occur again.

    if you can get to the character creation screen , playing is ok 

    as to swicthing to fullscreen use alt + enter and see what happens it really depends on the original cause, the issue will lay in how the game is interpreting the monitor data

  • @proxos666 Alright so I can run the game now, but I've figured out what was causing my PC to reboot. Once I went into the in-game settings and changed display mode from "windowed fullscreen" to "fullscreen", that's when it restarts my PC. So I literally can't play the game in "fullscreen". I guess a temporary fix is just playing the game "windowed fullscreen". Know of any potential fixes?
