Well, yeah. In hindsight it is a bit misleading of me calling it a crash in the title. The launcher process exits (So it gracefully exits, but doesn't log or prompt the user in anyway to indicate "why".) with status code 2 as seen in procmon. This usually indicates a problem with permissions or access to resources, but it's up to the developer writing the specific system call.
Still not at my computer right now, but I can do another event capture with procmon and upload it here, if it's of any interest/use.
mioght be worth dropping the video driver back to 472.12 , seems 496.49 has some issues https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/game-ready-drivers/13/472619/geforce-49649-grd-feedback-thread-released-102621/
changing drivers did nothing
I will format the C: and reinstall windows 10.
Right after, I will reinstall SWTOR.
-----------------
Question: Is it better to install SWTOR through Origin or Steam?
I have a SWTOR account since the game was released and have been using Origin until now.
----------------
I hope it's going to work
try this first you just lose updates https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/16397-repair-install-windows-10-place-upgrade.html
origin or steam or standalone , if you have steam you get steam achievements , steam updating is different too
I reinstalled windows10 on my formatted drive.
Here are the steps taken
No additional windows update installed Version 21H1 build 19043.1288.
Installing the drivers supplied with my motherboard
Google chrome / Firefox
Installing office2021
Nvidia 496.61 Drivers
Steam
SWTOR
Launch of the game > Same problem
: '(
I link an image to show you what is installed on the computer (not a lot of things)
and the new DXDIAG
I just saw this post.
Same problem.
This is probably a problem with the new processors.
This is the only common point.
the intel video card is still enabled and is running along side the nvidia , i always disable the intel video card in the bios
i will pass this thread back to cs again for their awareness
edit:tracking
1 is 12600
3 is 12700
1 is 12900
if this is the CPU there will not be a quick fix for this
does this workaround have any effect on swtor ?
ASUS hasn't released the bios version mentioned in that press release they had. Will come back to it whenever it's released and I've managed to flash 🙂
For what it is worth I have also had this launch-to-crash issue on a fresh install of windows with the new 12700kf in windows 10. I suspect it must have something to do with how 12th gen works with the swtor at present.
keep an eye on the following thread https://www.swtor.com/community/showpost.php?p=9981068&postcount=15
Thank you very much for linking this, I shall keep my ear to the ground
Do you have any news for us? more than a month without news.
Is there a solution coming up?
I know this thread is a couple months old - has there been any solutions found yet?
A player workaround is at https://www.reddit.com/r/swtor/comments/rxszqh/launcher_fix_for_intel_12th_gen_cpus/
still waiting on a patch from swtor for this issue
