Black Screen and System Restore Required
I'm having an issue with the game. Every time i try to start the game from the launcher i get a black screen with a few seconds of sounds and then my PC will freeze up and can't tab out or use task manager. Also if i try to restart the PC i can't seem to start up windows and i need to do a system restore each time i try to start the game. SW:TOR is the only game i have this issue with it. I've read on the forums regarding the black screen issue about updating all drives and adding a firewall exception which i have done. Also something regarding about letting the game roll for some time on the first launch, but after letting the game on for about 2 hours i haven't noticed any change and i still require to do a system restore after i restart my PC. As far as the Windows i'm using, i have Windows 10 Pro ( latest update from 07/10/2019 ), and for the hardware : CPU: Ryzen 3 2200g , GPU : Integrated Radeon Vega 8, Ram: 8GB DDR4.
Create an override with CRU and just list the native resolution for that TV , TVs usually have errors in the edid, see if that resolves the issue currently
also you can also set the game to try and start in window mode per below
Press the [Windows] Key + [R] at the same time
Copy the following in to the text box and press ok
%localappdata%\swtor\swtor\settings
Open the client_settings.ini file in notepad and ensure the following are displayed within
Fullscreen = false D3DFullScreen = false RefreshRate = 60
Check NativeHeight, NativeWidth, Height and Width ( all 4 ) match your monitor resolution.
Save and close the file.
Start the game as normal.
Change graphic settings within the game as desired.
