I started running the game in fullscreen windowed mode mainly for the multitasking, but also to solve the problem you mentioned.

 

When I had the game running in fullscreen (I run Windows 10 on an MSI GS60 Ghost Pro notebook), I found the only way to get in game was to Ctrl+Alt+Delete, open the task manager, then alt-tab back in. Worked fine, but it was a bit of a pain. Fullscreen windowed for me.

 

In fact, I've had this issue with a couple of games on Windows 10 - wonder why....

I had this happen to me, where when I exited the game, my screen resolution would reset to the lowest, It would also do so Ingame.

You can try the following:

- Delete Bitraider

- Open up the game (fullscreen), then exit to Windows using the Windows key (just minimize the game) then set your desktop resolution, then go back Into the game and set the resolution there. Try that and see If It works.

i found the folder but dont know what to change

i found the folder but dont know what to change

AppData > Local > SWTOR > client_settings.

 

Open client settings with notepad and change width and height to appropriate settings.

Well they sometimes store the setting for the window, try to find the setting for full screen and set it to windowed fullscreen or something?

Right click and delete It. Then open SWTOR and the launcher will do a quick patch and see what happens. You can also try to manually set the resolution of the game within the game files. Assuming you did the express Install. Goto - Appdata - Local - SWTOR - client_settings.ini and force a resolution change.

Thats If he's having an Issue with the aspect ratio.
