Re: crash to desktop

@Revan134

if your doing a re-install make sure to switch to non streaming per the guide linked

do i have to download the full game first because i stopped the download, uninstalled the game and reinstalled it and closed it before it could start the full download, i went to the file that says launcher, under type is says settings file so im guessing that's the one. but when i open it there is no "PatchingMode":.

@Revan134

Start the download and stop it after say 5 seconds , then close the launcher , the launcher_settings file should be populated correctly after it is closed.

Really all you need to set is , "bitraider_disable": true

The non streaming download can't finnish. it downloads the main asset 1 then when its installing it stops at some random point. I tried closing it then reopening it but then it stops at some random point again when its saying resuming.

@Revan134

These days patching issues with the non-streaming launcher are rare, so this is unfortunate.

Can you try booting into Safe Mode with Networking (links to Microsoft) and trying to patch up?

After several more tries it finnaly downloaded but it's still kicking me put of the game.

A few min  the game crashed again and sent my computer into a bsod , one so quick I can' see the error or even start the computer up anymore without it asking for launch windows repair and that just freezes the computer.

The bsod is the unmountable boot volume. So my hard disk is corrupted meaning I need a new one. This may sound like a stupid question but can this be the problem with the quitting the game?

@Revan134

it is highly unlikely to be just a coincidence, ack it is unusual for no errors appearing, but it may explain if the OS hasn't been able to detect the issue for some reason and the game closing was an early symptom.

it wasn't the corrupt hard drive that makes the game quit, I got a new one, same version as the last but the game still quits to the desktop with no error.

@DemonicLord134

Unfortunately I have no more advice on where to go from here on a cause, there has to be something unique going on.

There has to be something on that system as the cause that just cant pin point remotely i am afraid.

Have flaggged @EA_Kipling to see if he has any further suggestions.

Is there  specific swtor file the  crash files are going too that I am missing?

@Revan134

There is another log location at C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\BioWare\Star Wars-The Old Republic\swtor\retailclient\swtor\logs

If you want to attach the latest one that had the close it may give an indication of where the game was when it occured, maybe @EA_Kipling can use that to comment

here are the 3 files that were in the folder, the last one i posted was the wrong file so i deleted that post and made this one, sorry. about the different names, i was using my tablet before with the Revan134

I got an error message now but it was quick it said error c5 and quit the game just after I pushed launch

@DemonicLord134

C5 is corruption given you are using non streaming the repair option on the launcher needs to be used before pressing play.

Are you certain the previous drive was dead and not a corrupted file system say by faulty memory ?

Edit - have you run a chkdsk on the drive that has swtor installed to check the file system on that drive ?

Before I posted this I had disabled grass and shadow in the game and it was working for 2 hours then crashed to the desktop again so I tried the delete files and repair like you said in previous posts and it repair 94 files. Then this c5 error started when I pushed play. I pushed repair again just now and it' saying repairing 94 files again. And I did a sfc scan and it came up with did not find any integrity violations.  Chkdsk found no problems on the file system

@DemonicLord134

It does sounds like that install is corrupted for some reason i'm afraid, I am not sure repair will be able to sort it and reinstall may be needed, if it persists you may need to try (bitraider) streaming to see if it stops this corruption appearing. 

sorry have to go for the night its 1134pm here now

some player said they set the CCC to override the application and it worked but I am not sure how to make the CCC override this application

@DemonicLord134

The equivalent to the CCC is the Nvidia Control Panel in your case and the swtor profile in the nvidia control panel.

idea is to enable AA etc in that profile and disable in-game settings , i doubt this will help though.

its got to be a graphics problem, I lowered grass to 0, trees to 0, shadows off, bloom and the other 2 on top off and I got an hour out of it before it quit to the desktop again

@DemonicLord134

Actually thinking on it , it could still be a power supply/ voltage type issue somehow, ordinarily if a major power supply issue occurs it would turn the system off, but if it is unstable it is feasible the game could simply close.

This power supply issue could still be a heat induced issue , I think what ever is occurring is hardware based, but only way to tell is swap parts out for testing.

ya its not just swtor anymore, dawn of war 3 just quit on me too, has to be hardware problem

once again I boosted my power from 1000 to 1037 which is 2 up from the normal using precision x, and I put my fans to the max, and dawn of war didn't crash im going to test this on swtor now, the thing that worries me is it warns you that increasing voltage can result in damage

not voltage I boosted it even higher and swtor still quit

@DemonicLord134

It wont be the voltage itself per sey need to monitor stability me thinks for the 3.3v , 5v and 12v rails
