here is my Dxdiag
Just to confirm something what occurs if you set the refresh rate to 60 instead of 75 ?
Also can you add the below line to the client_setting file just to be sure this is set fully for window mode
D3DFullScreen = false , changes in red
[Renderer] AllowColorRemapping = true AllowDepthOfField = true doBlobShadows = true doShadows = true DYDDrawDistancePreset = 1 EnableBloom = true FullScreen = false
D3DFullScreen = false GraphicsDeviceId = 26607 GraphicsQuality = 3 Height = 1017 NativeHeight = 1080 NativeWidth = 1920 PerfTestFlags = 4636544 PlantDensity = 100 RefreshRate = 60 ShaderSet = 9 SpeedTreeDistanceScale = 1.25 TextureAnisotropy = 16 TextureQuality = 0 VerticalSyncState = true Width = 1920 AntiAliasingLevel = 2 MeshLODQuality = 1 WindowX = 0 WindowY = 23 [Game] MoviesFolder = ..\..\Movies SwtorRegKey = SOFTWARE\BioWare\Star Wars - The Old Republic
my refresh rate is already set to 60, do not know why the one i posted says 75, cuz i check before i added that line, and it said 60
Just to follow this a bit more is the windows desktop resolution running at 60 or 75 Hz ?
how would i check that, the one i found was for my monitor and it was running at 59
Enter 59 in the client_setting file does that do anything ?
I do mine in the Nvidia control panel so I imagine the AMD CCC will be similar
i changed it all to 60, as in my AMD CCC it says it is running at 60
Have you tried a different monitor at all ?
The more i look at the picture in the first post what does it remind you of ?
Just to be clear I am not saying there is anything wrong with the monitor itself , swtor is one of the few games I have seen read the EDID instead of current resolution
I just want to confirm a different monitor behaves the same before pursuing further
well for one i do not have another monitor to hook up, and this one alone is 10 years old, here is the specs on it:
if i am not mistaken, i do not think i have re installed the game since i upgraded graphics cards, would a full reinstall work? and while installing could avast be blocking some files needed? Because before this one i was using a piece of junk Radeon HD 6450 1GB DDR3 card, then i upgraded to this current card two months ago
I wouldn't think it will help, but it never hurts to tick it off and I have not seen an AV cause this sort of issue
if you do try a complete install , best to delete the appdata stuff too found per the below directions , if you have UI profiles you want to save in that location save the GUIProfile folder and copy it back to the same place after the install again
Press the [Windows] Key + [R] at the same time
Copy the following in to the text box and press ok
%localappdata%\
Scroll down and find a swtor folder and delete it.Have you ever set that monitor to run at 75Hz ? and then set the game to match ? (thinking of why 75Hz would appear at all in the client_setting file on its own)
If you only ever use 60Hz for example maybe trial an override created with CRU (Link) that only specifies 1920 x 1080 @60Hz and see if this has any impact on the game.
