Re: Game locks up my computer with a black screen every time I quit, requires reboot

Well, latest game patch fixed this for me; as for the other problems, apparently NVIDIA released a new drivers version that fixed those too, so everything works perfectly again now 🙂

    Morning all..

    I have seen this issue, it usually happens when a resolution setting is incorrect.

    You will likely have more then 2 resolution settings to running and the conflict arises as it comes out of the game..... but it doesn't happen with my other games???... Swtor's greedier than most.

    Yes you have your Games Resolution Settings which are found in the Client_Settings.cfg file..

    WindowX = 0
    WindowY = 0
    
    NativeHeight = 1080 (This should be your screens 'native resolution')
    NativeWidth = 1920 (This should be your screens 'native resolution')
    
    Height = 1080 (This should be your screens 'native resolution')
    Width = 1920 (This should be your screens 'native resolution')
    
    RefreshRate = 60 (This should be your screens 'native refresh' rate ideally)
    D3DFullScreen = false  (*for now)
    FullScreen = false (*for now)

    And Yes you have your Windows settings which 'should' be set up correctly, if you have multiple monitors then they need to be set up correctly too... everything should match.

    Now here is something that can be missed.. and that is if your PC has a built in GPU... it will have the software installed to handle that GPU.. like the one from Intel...

    Alot of CPU's have a built in GPU on the chip, laptops more so.

    If your PC has a dedicated non CPU, GPU.... then you have to spend a few extra moments ensuring that this is all set up correctly

    Is the correct Video Card/GPU set as Default.. do they have the correct resolutions and settings for the screens...

        !!! ARE THEY ALL THEY SAME ON ALL PROGRAMS !!! 

    More coffee required... sing out if you have issues or even if you make it further down the road then before.
