Swtor keeps crashing on first screen [ Edited ]

that is interesting, I didn't have problems with da:o in years, but i also have it on gog now

but here is the fresh dxdiag

[proxos666]

@ElvhenYoung 

May need to check on the errors listed in the dxdiag , some are also an update failure for example 

if you press the windows key and type reliability , open the reliability monitor and see what errors have been occurring over the last few weeks.

@proxos666 

ok, i'm looking at that reliabity monitor, only errors I saw are from razer cortex and the da:o ones you mentioned... besides that on two windows update but it got out of the way eventually and I'm up to date with them

@ElvhenYoung 

a pattern seems to be emerging "maybe"  DA:O d3d9 , Pillars of eternity d3d9 and swtor d3d9

Maybe see if pillars of eternity runs ok under d11 per this link  see the post by Asmodean- 

I think its worth seeing if this is a directx 9 issue 

[ElvhenYoung]

@proxos666 

it does look like a pattern, I'll try - have to reinstall Pillars first,

I have direct12 installed, do I have to install 11th or...

[proxos666]

@ElvhenYoung 

No its apart of windows , so in theory you are good for all direct x versions

[ElvhenYoung]

@proxos666 

I did the thing with Pillar's - still crashes after new game on first screen, no change

[proxos666]

@ElvhenYoung 

Not sure where to go from here , maybe a hardware issue ? although there are no error reports for swtor yet there is for DA:O which is odd

although dxdiag shows no issues with directx apart from DA:O crashing with the D3d9 dll file once

not sure if you want to try a broader option like trying a windows inplace repair per this link  this is intended to keep all user data and just needs to re-install windows updates again or do a refresh, given what other things tried it doesn't leave a lot of options.

@proxos666 

looks like it, honestly i'd prefer not to doing a kin of reinstall again, I had it done about 2 months ago (cuz of the radeon card)

i had this kind of thing happen before? but the fix with deleting the player gui's worked, now I don't even have it because of re-install, but it stopped by itself after a bit

i never know with swtor honestly

If you have no GUIs to keep , maybe delete the swtor folder in the appdata area, it will auto create a new copy on next launch is something easy to try first
