It isn't uncommon that when the game resolution is changed and the loading screen never progresses , pressing ALT + Enter keys should move the game to window mode which may allow the game to load correctly, then setting the ingame settings again sorts things for good.

Do you belive me if I say that it ...started to work...by HIMSELF?😢
I've spent 2 days of my life to understand it and then...I don't know 😢
Let us hope it keeeps working
The launcher is fixed and it is still downloading...but the game still doesn't answer...even reduced to a window...i followed your suggestions as well...but they aren't working
Ps: The game just finished the title screen after clicking on play buton...only to turn into a giant red screen and freezing again...now this is unusual 😢
Are you using AVG as your anti-virus?
Well, I have just updated my computer, to a power house. I figured now I should be able to run this game with no issue. I start to install the game, and wait 5 hours for the download to complete. I was not sure what was going on when I tried to play the starter areas, and it crashed the program. So I decided to wait until the game was fully downloaded. I got past the splash screen, and after the intro movie. Once I pasted the movie, I was greeted by the frozen splash screen.
I am glad that there was a solution found for this. However this is not acceptable in anyway to have this issue going on for as long as I am seeing (forum post about this issue since April 3), and require this much work to be done to a game that I was just about to pay for the privilege to play. I myself work in IT, the number one thing that we recommend to our customers when pushing any type of update to their servers is to make sure they have an image, or something in place to roll back to if it breaks functionality of their sites.
I am not 100% familiar with what caused this issue, but if this started after a patch, then Bioware should have rolled back that patch as soon as this problem was discovered. I am now looking at another 5 hours and a load of other configurations that would need to be done in order to pay to play a game ( I understand that I do not have to pay to play the game, but I unlike most people in gaming now a days, have no problems supporting a game that I like). I think this is the last time I will visit this game. To Bioware, I say get out of bed with EA, shut this down and make us Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic 3 (Please do not use the same engine that you used for SWTOR). I am thankful that I did not subscribe before downloading the client. I will go play some WoW now, cause guess what, I can play that on Windows 10.
Dual monitor ? with the launcher closed
To clear the red screen go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\BioWare\Star Wars-The Old Republic\swtor
and delete the file called diskcachearena then start the launcher
Whait...what does diskcachearena do?
I don't want to delete a file that may be usefull in the future
