Greywen Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I'm having a problem trying to log in, every time I do it gives me a black screen and my monitor says not optimal resolution. I can still hear the music etc, I need to change the resolution without being in game. Is there a file that has user resolution settings or is that stored server side?

ManikIsrik Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 i had the same problem. if you have a new hd tv..hook it up via hdmi cable and then you can see the resolution. Your problem is your resolution ingame is set higher than what your monitor will allow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywen Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 That's what I figured, I don't have an HD TV though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmetshmo Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I'm having the same problem Wasn't happening in Beta though. I have a Dell monitor with no HDMI input. Hopefully they change it so the auto setting is lower than it is now because I can't even get into the game to change it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synalon Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I used to have a similar problem with my hdv and another game, in the end the way to fix it was to set the game to windowed mode. This forced it to run at the same refresh rate as my desktop and then I could see the options and set them to a working configuration. The other option is to look where ToR is installed for some kind of .cfg file, usually theres a video resolution line in those, and if you open it with notepad you can set the game to start at the same resolution as your desktop. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywen Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=79001#post79001 That thread helped me fix it, you can set the game to windowed through the client_defaults file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
