Title: Pink Screen Graphics Issue - SW:TOR

Post Text:

Hello everyone,

Recently, I've been experiencing an issue in Star Wars: The Old Republic where the screen turns pink after loading, and graphical elements don't display properly. I'm sharing my experience here in case it helps others who encounter the same problem.

System Specifications:

  • Processor: 11th Gen Intel Core i3-1125G4 @ 2.00GHz
  • RAM: 8 GB (7.65 GB usable)
  • Operating System: 64-bit Windows 10
    • The pink screen graphics issue appeared when running the game in fullscreen mode.
    • Despite lowering graphics settings to the minimum, the issue persisted, even after trying older drivers.

    Steps Taken:

    1. Edited the game's configuration file with the following changes:
      • FullScreen=false
      • WindowX=0
      • WindowY=0
  • Graphics Card: Intel Arc

Description of the Issue:

    • Width=1920, Height=1080
  1. Reinstalled the game completely.
  2. Adjusted settings in the Intel Arc Control software.

Result:

  • The pink screen issue was resolved after modifying the configuration file, and the game now runs smoothly in windowed mode. I haven't attempted to restore fullscreen mode yet, but everything works fine in windowed mode.

    Question:

    • Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Do you have any suggestions for fixing it in fullscreen mode?

  • Normally seen with nvidia video cards when tabbing out when loading, its covered in the following guide

    • Screen is displaying a solid color before or at the character select screen

               Press ALT + Enter first to switch to window mode and back to fullscreen otherwise

                      Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\BioWare\Star Wars-The Old Republic\swtor  and delete just the file called discachearena then start the launcher and login.
