You can try using alt+enter when the screen goes to no video to see if that fixes it or edit the client_setting file per https://answers.ea.com/t5/Troubleshooting-Guides-Info/Guide-Game-failing-to-launch-on-Clicking-Play/td-p/4809830/jump-to/first-unread-message
let the game fully download first usually the cause of missing dat file errors
if you want paste me the contents of the client_setting file to check settings look ok
hmm
using a different monitor will solve issues me thinks 🙂
what is the true resolution available on the TV is it actually 1176 x 684 ? as native resolution
the edid on tv can be poor and using cru https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-Custom-Resolution-Utility-CRU to create a known override for a set resolution can help
what also may be causing issues is that there is another resolution setting on startup and it is higher then what you have listed here
ordinarily i would say not to edit the other file but it may be worth testing for you
that file is at :\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\BioWare\Star Wars-The Old Republic\swtor\retailclient and the file is called client_defaults
in that you will see it is set at
Width=1152
Height=864
which is higher then your height setting , maybe test adjust this to 1176 x 684 if that is your maximum resolution
can always change it back
@proxos666i have it set at that so the edges of the screen are not cut off, native res i assume is 1920x1080. The full download is at 77% at the time of this post
having fullscreen as false and d3dfullscreen as false means it shouldnt cut off edges set as 1920 x 1080 unless that isnt the true resolution at the tv
@michaelsel28 whats the tv model ?
some can do overscan like my old panasonic plasma what is the tv make and model
having no remote sorta makes it hard to change settings i presume 🙂
the issue will be overscan by the sounds of it, google overscan tv should explain what it is

changing the res in the client_default file fixed the issue of the game not going to the character select screen
hopefully that will make it playable at least
@proxos666the highest res i can have without it going to no video available is 1024x768 go to 1152x884 or above at least on fullscreen wndowed
sounds like its native pc output is only 1024 x 768 that is possible
edit - cable connection type may affect resolution available too
edit 2 - the only other thing i can think of is that some tv's had a setting to be enabled when connecting a PC that affected the resolution available too
@proxos666i will get a proper monitor at some point i think. At least the game is loadable
i found a manual for a luxor 32inch not sure how similar that is the problem
i guess for now as you say the game is now loadable may be as good as can get for now
agreed effort to outcome is the question now 🙂
@proxos666managed to set the in game res to 1080, without it saying video unavailable, i'm just now moving the UI to where i can see it
