dxlolman Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Hey folks, A few updates on this situation. For players that have updated Windows 10 to the Creator Edition, they can experience an issue in SWTOR that causes a crash to desktop. This seems to be primarily caused by being alt-tabbed out of the game and focusing on another window while SWTOR is open and loading. The team is looking into fixing the problem and I will pass on updates as I have them. In the meantime there are three workarounds which have had some success. 1) Disable vsync on your video card. 2) Disable Game Mode in Windows. 3) In Windows, disable the full-screen optimization option for SWTOR. I will pass on more information as I have it. -eric Try searching for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xkcurtisx Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Not working. just stop alt tabbing and have the game in focus while it loads in, once you see your characters it shouldn't crash. Do note that having apps running with overlays will interfere with the being in focus part. (Origin Steam discord overwolf.... basically everything nowdays... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Songano Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 Yeah thanks for those suggestions, but im allready not running anything in the background. Ive read numerous posts about this problem, but nothing solved it. Sometimes im in on the first try and sometimes on my 16. try. At least they aknowledged it...

SteveTheCynic Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 just stop alt tabbing and have the game in focus while it loads in, once you see your characters it shouldn't crash. Do note that having apps running with overlays will interfere with the being in focus part. (Origin Steam discord overwolf.... basically everything nowdays... ) I have discord, but it's on the other screen and SWTOR is in Windowed (Full Screen) so I can click to Discord if I need to without SWTOR minimising... Of course that doesn't help if you only have one screen. I also don't have Creator's yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
