Alright, i did the windows update, restarted, tried the game and had no change.
then I followed the guide for that DDU and did a clean install of my video drivers and it still does the exact same thing.
very odd dll to crash with , try setting as a clean boot https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows-da2f9573-6eec-00ad-2f8a-a97a1807f3dd
have you tried booting with one monitor attached or attaching a different monitor if you have one ? (there is a reason to check this)
i tried unplugging one of my monitors and launching the game like that, but did not do a reboot with only one plugged in. i'll try that now.
i tried doing a reboot with only one monitor plugged in, same result.
followed the steps to do a clean boot and also still crashing the same.
i do not have a different monitor to try.
Delete the current client_setting file and then launch
Done, with the same result. still opening to black screen and crashing right back to desktop.
you dont have reshade installed ?
no i do not
d3d9.dll is really directx , so i guess cant hurt to install https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=8109
alright, done and no change.
also, i really appreciate you troubleshooting this with me.
can you attach a new dxdiag after the windows updates etc
here you go
The crash reports have changed and Asus now appears too , maybe worth uninstalling the AI suite as a test ( think that is part of it )
KeyBotII.exeyou can press the windows key and type reliability and then open the reliability history , that can show you what is occurring each day
so uninstall AI Suite 3? and whatever that keybot is?
cant hurt , have a look at the reliability history see if there is anything further mentioned
the only things in the reliability history is SWTOR many times, the keybot a bunch of times, and Origin once. i will uninstall the keybot and ai suite and try the game again.
still no change
disable the xbox overlay if not already too https://www.windowscentral.com/how-disable-and-remove-game-bar-windows-10-creators-update
done, no change still.
i'll work on the driver now
new video driver installed, no change.
did you have the issue prior to using 471.11 ?
league of legends for example is a d3d9 game of similar ilk to swtor interesting it is listed as failing to launch
maybe worth using ddu again and reverting to a 469 version video driver to be sure
i haven't played SWTOR in a couple of years, and am pretty sure it has never been played/installed on this machine before. i just recently felt like getting back into SWTOR and this problem came up from the beginning a couple days ago.
I have not had any problem like this before with anything else.
@Littletimer
I have to go for now (wife wants me to do work...) , can check back later
I always have said black screen crash is usually video driver related , how is the question though , game setting or something else
try a driver revsion to something before 471.11 , you can see current issues for driver releases at https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/game-ready-drivers/13/457587/geforce-47111-grd-feedback-thread-released-62221/
i'll try reverting to an older video driver. it's past my bed time already anyway.
again, i really appreciate your help with troubleshooting.
