Resolution locked at too-high a setting, game unplayable

Recommended Posts

The graphical resolution on my game is currently locked at 1980x1020. In the options page, 1980x1020 is the only choice in the dropdown menu.

 

This is WAY too high for my laptop, and leaves me with a framerate of about 1 FPS, which is completely unplayable. I don't know precisely when this started. I usually play on my desktop, but play on my laptop when I'm on the road, which I am now. A few weeks ago, it worked fine, but when I started the game tonight, I'm stuck in super-hi-res-still-life mode.

 

Anybody else have this problem or know how to fix it? Thanks!

If it is the only option in the drop down available try a clean install of the video drivers initially with say DDU

 

Can also try and lower manually

 

Press the [Windows] Key + [R] at the same time

Copy the following in to the text box and press ok

%localappdata%\swtor\swtor\settings

Open the client_settings.ini file in notepad

 

Set NativeHeight, NativeWidth, Height and Width ( all 4 ) to the resolution you want.

Save and close the file.

Start the game as normal.
