Screen Resolution can't be changed out of game.

My in game resolution has gone bonkers. The screen resolution is way to big for the screen. I have tried every tutorial on how to fix this. Sadly no luck so far. Basically I load up swtor hit the launch button on the launcher. It loads the game up up...but like I said the resolution is so far off. When I hover over the swtor icon on my toolbar. It just shows 1 huge line going down the middle. Like the game got processes through the garbage disposal in A New Hope. It's that skinny.

 

Is there anyway someone from bioware can override my screen resolution? Or at the very least help me with my situation.

 

Thanks

Go to C:\users\[username]\AppData\Local\SWTOR\swtor\settings and delete client_settings.ini

 

That should then start SWTOR with default settings such as 800x600 resolution.

 

Note - AppData is a hidden folder. You can go to Folder Options in Control Panel and "un-hide" it, or just type the path into a command line.

I had the same problem with this too, I tried the .ini file to no avail. I ended up using my dual screens to change back and forth between primary screens on diff resolutions since one is a TV and the other a monitor and eventually the game worked enough to be able to change the resolution in game since it wasn't reading my display settings resolution. I ended up getting it to work at 1600x900 windows and in-game. Also running it fullscreen(windowed) helped instead of just fullscreen. Hope that helped because it took me a long time to fix mine.
