Issues starting game after 4.0 patch

[maiv007]

So, my game finished patching and when I hit "PLAY" it looks like it starts the game but then my screen changes resolution and the game screen does not show. Even when I try to ALT-TAB into the game. It shows a sliver of the game loading screen on the left side.

I've already tried to repair and tried to see if I could for 1920x1080 in the config file which already is native to that resolution.

Alright, so I closed the game. I went into %localappdata%\swtor\swtor\settings and changed the client_settings file.

I changed Fullscreen = true to false and now I can get into the game.

Thank you!!

Can you hear the game? Does toggling to Windowed mode have any effect (press Alt & Enter to do so)?

Yep, that can do the job too, but the toggle is usually a bit quicker. Thanks for coming back with the confirmation.
