Re: Swtor keeps crashing on first screen
It is possible, looks like trial and error i'm afraid, although likely AA or shadows maybe start with them

I am currently enabling option one by one to see which one will break the system, for now AA is disabled, shadow quality too, and shader is on low - no crashes yet, we shall see
got setting to this: (i'll attach screenshot)
still have to check if it just won't crash on startup (but it's not throwing me out for now, so i have high hopes edit:too soon, crashed agaaain), but i will survive on those options
sooo thank you for help and endless patience?
Thank you! I still have to play with those settings to make it stay working, but now at least I have a starting point ^^
May the Force serve you well.
back to square one. I did the thing where I put one option up or higher, and then restart the game - windowed-fullscreen? works. high textures and character detail (only that-no shaders, bloom etc.etc.) it got into character screen and crashed when I clicked preferences. wtf, swtor.
I'm really contemplating just leaving playing swtor until i buy a new computer but i really wanna play.
edit: now it crashes when I click the preferences, but let's me into character selection
Right mouse click on the client_setting file in appdata and make sure it is not read only
checked, it is not set to read-only
Will check on other possible causes tomorrow its 1:30am here now so going shortly
ok, thank you for help anyway.
I'll actually have a dnd session so I'm going as well - it was my last try before leaving xd
so, I did some experimenting.
when I get the game only on (fullscreen windowed) and put texture quality and character level of detail on high - i still can avoid the startup crash, going into preferences on choosing your character screen will crash the game, funny enough if you log in into a character you can change the preferences however you want, but for now all combination I tried, one with AA turned off completely, and shadows on low is crashing the game when I log out.
and honestly that is weird, I had the same settings for months with that graphic card - even with two years old drivers installed and everything was fine.
but basically that's all I found out for now.
