Is there a way to change settings at launcher?

[Danylko]

I was forced to get a new monitor, so naturally I got myself a nice Orion LCD TV, 24 inch, which is compatible with PCs. Everything works fine until I launch SWTOR. Once I do that, my monitor goes black and I literally have to do a factory reset on everything to get it to work. Turns out, the TV only supports up to 1024 x 768. I'm guessing SWTOR is trying to change the resolution?

 

I remember there was a way to do it but don't see the option to change the resolution within the launcher. Heck, I don't even see an option to start the game in Windowed mode. I know this can be done at character select screen, but I can't even get this far.

Folder placement can change depending on you're operating system but should be in a folder like this one

 

C:\Users\*user*\AppData\Local\SWTOR\swtor\settings

 

if the folder appdata is not to be found simply paste it in the adress bar at the top of the explorer page and it should go into it even if it is hidden

 

replace *user* with the actual computer username you are usin swor on

 

In this folder open the client_settings file,it should look somewhat like this *but will be different*

VerticalSyncState = true

 

 

Change or add these lines if they don't exist

NativeWidth = 1024

NativeHeight = 768

Width = 1024

Height = 768

 

Dont mess with the other lines

 

 

Be mindfull that going from a monitor to a tv will work but since the resolution is less higher it will not look as good as a real computer monitor or a full HD tv
