TOR Will SWTOR work with my requirements?

Hey,

I have a requirements problem,



As you see at the bottom my Dedicated Video RAM doesn't match, if i download and play will it work or just randomly freeze and ****?

 

I don't think it will run as you have an on-board graphics chipset as opposed to a dedicated graphics card.

The good news? As long as your PC has expansion options you may be able to resolve it relatively cheaply...

What is your complete PC specification?

 

How do i get my complete specs? :3 btw i ordered the game yesterday from amazon to check it out

 

There is a free audit tool called belarc advisor which will give you a detailed breakdown of your PC, you could use that, then attach / copy and paste the results here or in a PM?

You can leave out all the gumf stating the hundred odd windows updates though

 

Run CPU-Z and post a print of the results.

 

I have had an issue since the Hutt Cartel installation of my PC monitor going black and displaying "Input Not Supported" whenever I attempt to play the game. Not sure why this is, it played fine before.

 

I had the same after one of the patches, I ended up rolling my graphics driver back a version...

 

Back?
I'm not sure I can still get the previous driver version, I'll have a look. I would surely have to upgrade eventually.

I assume there was not a major graphics overhaul of the game that made it beyond my PC's capabilities, it worked fine before the Expansion install (I haven't played it since before the launch date)

 

Eventually, you probably would but until it is resolved it is worth a try?

Nvidia have old drivers available on their site, I would imagine AMD do as well.

My guild mate had the Star Wars TOR razer naga mouse and an in game update screwed that up beyond belief to the point where he left for guild wars 2 instead...

 

As a subscriber I have no wish to have it screw up so much I can't play it anymore.
If it's a game bug then a fix should be brought out. Can't leave my card with outdated drivers indefinitely because a game that's not even very old won't deal with them.

Still, maybe if I go back to old drivers for a while it will have a fix by the time I switch back again.

 

^^Exactly...

nVidia release driver updates pretty regularly, just go with the second latest update OR, if you haven't got the latest, try that...

 

New nvidia drivers have just been released, FYI, might be worth giving them a whirl?

 

Installed the new drivers yesterday and the same thing still happens why I click Play.

I hope a rollback will work, can't see what else the problem is unless it's a glitch with the expansion.

 

Tried installing drivers from January


Still got monitor blackout

 

Jeez, I don't know what else to suggest...

 

Went browsing through the swtor forums and found this-
Greetings All,

The following is for users who get the message "Input Not Supported" or "The current input timing is not supported by the monitor display".

We are advising users against modifying the client_defaults.ini file as this can result in having to repair the game client, possibly incurring a relatively large download.

Instead please delete a file called client_settings.ini by default this file is found at c:\users\username\appdata\local\SWTOR\swtor\ settings

Thank you for Purchasing Star Wars™: The Old Republic™

There were a few other suggestions (such as altering an .ini file or something like that), but this was the official customer service suggestion. You can browse the swtor forums or search through with google for some other possible tips, I think.

 

Awesome find if it works, nice one

 

I managed to get it to work in Windowed Mode, which is at least something.

I'll try the above suggestion and see what happens with that, but I've been unable to find a folder called appdata going through my user folders on the C drvie

 

Ahh...

AppData is a hidden folder...

From within Windows Explorer, click on Organize > Folder and Search Options... > Choose the View tab > Choose the option to Show hidden files, folders and drives.

Click 'Apply' and 'Apply to Folders', then click OK. The AppData folder should now become visible...
