SWTOR launches but doesn't maximize

[ronnokdoomsayer]

I downloaded SWTOR for the first time today. Twice. Both Times I had the same problem. The game would launch but it wouldn't maximize. No matter what I did it would not open up all the way. You can hear audio and in the alt+tab preview window you can see whats going on but you can't open it up. I've looked at other forums and I'm really fed up with the lack of help.

Well that is good to hear 

If you run into similar again look at 

WindowX = 1920  this should actually be 0 not 1920

It may have corrected and now read as 0 , I suspect this is what was causing grief

@ronnokdoomsayer

When it is like that press the ALT + Enter key (may need to do twice)

see if that alone sorts it for you

[ronnokdoomsayer]

It did not help

[proxos666]

@ronnokdoomsayer

Just to be certain it needs to occur when the game as launched and before clicking anywhere else as the game needs to be in focus to respond to the alt+enter

in any case have a look at the guide at this link and how to edit the client_setting file

if unsure paste the contents of the client_setting file into this thread

How did you get on ? 

[ronnokdoomsayer]

Nothing worked but I have information that might help towards a solution.
Origin and any associated applications are doing the same thing. I have yet to find a fix for this as well 

[ronnokdoomsayer]

I'm going to uninstall-reinstall origin and reinstall SWTOR and get back to you 

[ronnokdoomsayer]

That's didn't work either. My other games are fine though

[proxos666]

@ronnokdoomsayer

Uninstall and re-install of the game is pointless at this point it wont change what is occurring

Can you post the contents of the client_setting file as mentioned earlier

This shouldnt be this difficult to fix usually

The dxidag per this link will ikely be handy too
