Swtor keeps crashing on first screen
Okay so, the situation looks like that. After Onslaught dropped I took few days to just level before deciding to tackle the storyline - at least up until the game started crashing when I was trying t...

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.
