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 Upon reflection, do you believe the combined effect of a simple outdated driver and whatever the heck Overwolf is, caused the failure?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.
Not 100% sure, Swtor is one of the few games that read the edid of the monitors to govern resolution capability , the nvidia driver can at times affect this as well
the fact the game opened in a smaller window points to the rendering side of the game on load, not all issues can at times be fixed with the client_setting file and the edid requires editing
Installing the latest nvidia gfx driver may have helped on its own
I would suggest not to alter fulscreen(window) mode , there is a chance it may fail again if changed
Thank you for your speculation, it helps me develop my own knowledge base for self help in the future. As for fullscreen windowed mode, it is my preferred way to play, so it is fortuitous that it settled itself on that setting. I will have no need to alter it from its current settings. Have a great evening, and thank you again.
