Swtor keeps crashing on first screen

@ElvhenYoung 

Can you provide a dxdiag per this guide link 

How are the system temps for cpu etc ?

Here's the dxdiag

and it usually hovers at 50-60, spiking into 60 something up to 70 celcius during playing,

i play on a laptop so i have a cooling pad on max all the time

@ElvhenYoung 

Give this intel driver a go and see if it helps on the loading back into the game.

now about your initial issue of the crash on onderon , it is likely you may need to play that cutscene on another computer or get swtor cs to move you forward, this is due to the laptop having only an intel 5500 card and it does not meet the minimum game requirements fully due to utilizing shared memory as opposed to dedicated vram

So, i did try it. When I try to install it just flashes an error that it's not compatible, and I do know why - I have a lenovo, and I can only get drivers for this integrated graphic card from them - and they didn't put up any updates for 2 years (i had an amd driver until now, but it broke, so I got stuck with Intel), graphics in-game weren't too happy with that but it always worked without a hitch, even tho theoretically the driver isn't perfect for the game.

do you think there could be anything else that could be causing my inability to get in the game? (as the drivers won't be up to date no matter what i do, besides getting a new computer)

@ElvhenYoung 

You can update to the latest intel driver with the directions at this link from the lenova website or also following this link 

you can also try editing the client_setting file per this guide link to set to window mode for launch 

my god, i never thought it was possible to install the updated drivers, I thank you so much even only for that! you are the real hero 

i already tried the window mode, but i will again!

@proxos666

heck.

@ElvhenYoung 

Thats with the updated intel driver ?

yep, I updated - it was a succes, i restarted computer just to be safe, set the windows mode annnd it's still crashing like before

@ElvhenYoung 

Just to be sure when yo usaid you looked at the guides , that you re-installed or ran a repair per this guide link ?
