There has been another nvidia driver release too your running 551.76 latest is 551.86 released a few days ago
worth doing a clean install with https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/223498/en-us/
Overwolf website and removal is at https://support.overwolf.com/en/support/solutions/articles/9000212843-uninstalling-overwolf
go to add remove programs and look for overwolf
I went into programs and uninstalled Overwolf. I am unsure why I had it to begin with, which is more than a little disturbing, but I'll investigate that later. After uninstalling Overwolf, I attempted to run SWTOR again and was faced with the same result: loading screen crash followed by crash report. I included a screencap of the crash report notice with control panel in the background to show no Overwolf is installed. Do you have an additional suggestion?
another crash report ties it to the nvidia driver
Problem signature:
P1: swtor.exe
P2: 1.0.0.0
P3: 65fa20da
P4: nvgpucomp64.dllwas another reason why to look at overwolf first as the crash would occur on rendering
Another possibility is the game is now confused on what the system can do , although the client_setting file has the resolution set correctly
I noted you did a complete re-install of the game already so that should rule out a game file issue
just to be sure in that client_setting file insert the following in the [renderer] section and be sure to save the file
Fullscreen = false
D3DFullScreen = false
RefreshRate = 60

Saw this a moment later. Updated NVIDIA driver, screenshot attached. Attempted to launch SWTOR again, with positive results. On first launch it loaded character select but with a window smaller than my monitor. Attempting to alter the fullscreen or fullscreen windowed mode triggered a crash. On my third attempt, it loaded in fullscreen windowed despite me not saving those preferences due to the crash. At this time, I am logged in and it appears to be functional. Thank you for your time and your assistance. Upon reflection, do you believe the combined effect of a simple outdated driver and whatever the heck Overwolf is, caused the failure? Or was removing those two obstacles simply enough to allow the program to power through and function? I am asking for any future reference where I may be able to solve my own issue without having to resort to forums posting. Thank you, again, for your aid.
I altered the file in the way suggested, and have included a screenshot of the opened file. I saved it, closed it, then attempted to launch SWTOR, but ended with the same result: crash at loading screen followed by a crash report notice. Please advise if I have altered the file incorrectly or if you have an additional suggestion.
That looks fine
Update the nvidia driver to the latest , it is worth unplugging 2 of the monitors and going back to one monitor just to test as well at this point
The only other recent post from someone using nvidia was a 3080 and for him steam would not open swtor , he went and reinstalled windows so doubt related
