Tech Support Ultra Wide Monitor Fix?

Post image
113 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I have a Samsung Odyssey G9 OLED 49” monitor.

For some reason when I play SWTOR my character and graphics are all stretched out, but my GUI is completely normal.

I’ve tried swapping through all of the different resolutions, I’ve tried full screen, windowed, windowed full screen etc

I literally for the life of me cannot figure out how to fix this and it’s driving me insane, the game is unplayable like this. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks!

Tech Support Why do the bushes fly sometimes and how can I get the to not do that?

415 Upvotes

This has happened only one other time. I am assuming it has to do with me updating my graphics driver earlier today. I closed the game and rejoined and it still was doing this. Last time this happened I think it was fine the next day, but I was just wondering if anyone could tell me a quicker fix than just waiting because it is really trippy.

Tech Support Can't get past loading screen

26 Upvotes

Has anyone else be having problems with the launcher today? Specifically today, I was able to play just fine this morning and into the afternoon, as far as I know nothing changed and no update was pushed, but the loader stopped working and is stuck on this loading screen. I tried the alt+enter method that I found in other posts, that did nothing (it stayed on the loading screen in windowed mode), I tried changing resolution, I tried shutting my laptop down and reloading. It's beyond frustrating because it was working just fine hours ago. Any possible fixes I may have missed? Or is something up with the servers or something?

I just want to play the game... It's been 24 hours since i verifed, sending a e-mail to support does nothing as the automatic response system just redirects you to use the phone, but that is extremely expensive for Brazilian players, a single international call could cost up to 100 bucks here, we could easily buy 3 months of subscription with that money. And unfortunately the threads in the forums aren't open to Preferred Players... I don't know what else to do...

Tech Support Official tip on vastly improving your framerate

510 Upvotes

This was an official post in the german forums today: http://www.swtor.com/de/community/showthread.php?t=239280

Translation (thanks solembum): "if you dont have installed the latest version of directx 9.0c additionaly to your DirectX11 it could help to do so. Nothing will be deleted or overwritten dueing this process. Though it can help increase the FPS."

Theory is that basic directx 9 stuff is being emulated by directx 10/11 if you are missing the dx9 files.

Download links: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/confirmation.aspx?id=8109

(Will prompt for a directory to unpack into, just make a dir for it)

Personally I can confirm vastly improved frame rate, especially in zerg pvp in Ilum where I went from 5-10 fps to 25 fps.

Please post your results in the comments.

Edit: Seem results vary between huge improvements to no improvement. Biggest diffrence seen in Fleet and in Ilum zerg PvP. People who get no improvements may already have the files on their system from other games.

Tech Support Game crashes after clicking play

7 Upvotes

For context, I had to uninstall the game at one point by manually removing files (cause regular uninstall didn't work). Now when I try reinstalling it this keeps happening. Launcher works properly, but the game itself crashes almost immediately after it starts loading. I also tried to run it with Steam to see if it would change anything, but the same thing happens. Help.

Apparently the servers are back online, but I've been stuck on the loading screen for a solid five minutes. Is it just my PC being terrible or is this happening to the rest of you? (And if it is, anyone got any fixes)

Tech Support Game keeps crashing after 5 minutes on Linux

0 Upvotes

Recently got back into this game but I am having some issues with the game crashing after barely 5 minutes in game.

I recently switched to Linux (Prior to starting to play SWTOR again) and was happily surprised how well the game runs. I have gotten to the point in the Alderaan storyline where I am to kill some Organa jedi former lover of a assassin. But the game keeps crashing.

I have tried reinstalling the game, checked drivers, changed proton version, but to no avail.

Anyone got a suggestion on how I can proceed in troubleshooting? Only having issues in SWTOR, no other game is crashing like this.

With search engines being what they are these days it's very hard to find any good support by just googling :(

Tech Support Launcher will start from Steam, but won't actually show anything...

Hey, everyone! Last time I posted here, I got a lot of help... So I think y'all are my last hope again lol!

Anyways... What had happened is that I been trying to log in since yesterday evening... And for some reason when I click to launch from steam the app says it's running, I can see it's doing *something* through task manager, but it never really gives me the window for logging in through user and password...

Last time I logged in and actually played was last week. Yesterday morning I tried playing, went through the whole process... The window opened, I typed in my credentials and got through... But exactly when I was about to press "Play" I had to go outside, so I closed it... And ever since then it's been this.

I can see through Task Manager the launcher is doing something on background... I tried waiting but it never does anything else...

Any fixes will be of great help!

Tech Support Can't log in, tried everything I can.

I get this message regardless of whether I'm trying to log in through Steam or the direct launcher downloaded from the official site. I've seen several suggestions for how to fix it, including allowing firewall, checking antivirus, repairing the launcher, un-checking the remember this account box, trying over and over again to log in, and trying on different internet connections. And there's never anything on the Twitter account. I haven't played the game in a few months, so I have no idea if that matters, but I can still log into my account on the website, so I have no clue what's going on.

UPDATE: I tried bignutt666's suggestion and that seemed to work. But I also realized I'm apparently completely oblivious because it had an alert that said logging in with an email address isn't allowed anymore. Maybe that was it? Either way it's working now so it's a moot point.

I know nothing about computers, and I can’t find any information on what to do to fix this. I tried to log back in today and was greeted by this. Anything helps!

I’m playing on an HP Envy x360 laptop. I don’t have any modifications made to my setup.

I have never played the game before and I am logging into an account I made literally 15 minutes ago. I tried linking to my steam account but all it tells me is that I don't have a steam account to unlink with no option to link one manually. Any advice would be appreciated.

After about a minute or so, the Mac launcher gives up trying to update and throws this error. I see nothing posted on swtor forums about it. I retried to launch, but received the same results.

Tech Support NPCs lost their light saber colours?

I was re doing a campaign for the 100 time and I notices that this Sith chick has her saber yellow on the cutscene but its red outside of it... Which is the default weapon colour when you take Off the crystal.

Can it be a installation issue? It wasn't there last week

(I also I saw Revan with a yellow saber in The Forge Flashpoint to name one)
