Game Keeps Crashing Every 5 Minutes
My game keeps crashing every 5 minutes. I just updated my Intel Driver
Forum Discussion
The adjust shadow crash is separate to the sound crash , if it is an issue ongoing apart from the once you adjust , see if here helps
Is is necessary to install the game again?
Ok, I'll try what it says tomorrow.
I just checked today. If I have three inbound exclusions simply called "Star Wars The Old Republic," do those count? I also don't have Outbound Exclusions for them.
The exclusions should be for both inbound and outbound for both launcher.exe and swtor.exe
So I should add those too?
Yes , this wont affect the shadow issue though
off hand this maybe a windows permission issue or a driver problem
Are you saying the Guide won't help? I guess I'll make a new thread then.
The guide should mention something about unticking read only on the appdata location and install this directx redist
other then that trying different video driver versions is the best thing
Unticking? Where? Which version of Direct X should I install.
Moreover, my game has still just crashed in the middle of nowhere. I thought the audio driver fixed it.
Disable sound and confirm the crashing stops (apart from when changing shadows)
I'm sorry I haven't had time to post in a while, but I just tried to quest on my Jedi Knight with the sound off, and the game still crashed. I am getting irritated.
Are you still there, Proxos?
yessum, will have a look over everything again over the weekend and see if anything has been missed
Learned something?
Press windows key + x and select command prompt (admin)
type
sfc /scannow
press enter and see if it finds any errors
edit - did you install this directx redist ?
No. Is that one the latest version?
That version is the one for this game , it will add some files that are likely missing on your version in regards to D3D9Ex
it is worthwhile to install
Thanks. I'll try it!
I just installed it. "sfc /scannow" doesn't work. I type it in, click on it, then a window pops up for a split second, but nothing happens.
I just tried to play the game again. It was working for a while, but there was a lot of buzzing in conversations. I tried lowering my graphics, but then the game crashed. Still nothing.
Still don't know what to do. This is a real shame. I like this game.
When you press windows key + x when you select on the menu , command prompt (admin) a black screen should appear , this is what you need to type in the black window
sfc /scannow
then press enter
once finished type in the command prompt again
chkdsk c: /f
press enter
see if any of these finds errors and cant repair them
Also use this and save the file and send it to me in a PM not on this thread , it will give me a better view of the system
Do I need to buy Speccy?
chkdsk c: /f didn't work.
