  1. This actually worked! After everything else I tried this did it! Thanks!!!
  2. Tried this with my RTX 2080, didn't work. Wish they could fix this the proper way. Till they do I still won't be playing. But I'm still open to try a fix when one comes along. Thanks for the link and the thought, and also keeping this thread somewhat alive.
  3. I don't think this is ever going to be addressed. I'd love to keep playing and I really enjoyed the game when it looks good but I can't play it with my monitor and I got this monitor specifically for gaming. But I can't enjoy it with everything stretched out and I've tapped the limit of what I can reasonably do to get it working. I hate to unsub that's exactly where I'm at now.
  4. Yep tried all modes... I've tried so many things to get it to work. I LOVE my ultrawide and I'm frustrated that I can't play SWTOR but it IS a SWTOR issue they've never addressed or fixed. If you want to keep playing I'd suggest against getting an Ultrawide given the frustration it's given me. I do find it ridiculous that the SWTOR team hasn't fixed this issue. EVERY OTHER GAME I play handles just fine and is awesome on an ultrawide monitor. SWTOR unfortunately is the outlier and it sucks.
  5. I built a whole new system. I'm no longer using the 980ti I'm using a 2080 Super. All my other games worked perfectly fine with the 980ti and also now work fine with the 2080 Super.
  6. My monitor is a 144hz ultra wide. It's meant to be run at that refresh rate and resolution. I've also made sure the resolution in game is correct. It's an issue with how SWTOR pulls the max resolution info from windows rather than what is actually set by the graphics card.
  7. So as a followup. I built a whole new PC with new graphics card (I was due anyway) but still have the same screen issue. The game is unplayable. Unless I can come up with a solution looks like I'll be cancelling my subscription and deleting the game. Very disappointing that I can't get this game to work properly on my monitor.
  8. Yeah that's what I did last night. Took forever to re-download the game. Still having the same graphical issues on screen though. Switching to my native resolution makes character and in game models look stretched. Leaving it at the resolution it is currently at is the only way to sorta play it. I'm really frustrated that I can't just play on the resolution I want and everything look fine like in other games.
  9. SO just an update. I re-installed Windows 10, and then re-installed SWTOR. If I change my resolution to 2160x1600 I have boarders but the game looks normal... if I switch it back to 3440x1440 which is my monitors native resolution it goes back to being goofy. I have also now found that I cannot play anything but a new character on the starting planets because it says it still needs to download a patch but there is no download happening and at the launcher it says everything is downloaded. So resolution still isn't fixed (though it's playable with boarders). But I can't play it because it says it's still patching in game even though it isn't.
  10. Well last night I did something stupid. I decided I would do a clean install of the latest Nvidia drivers. That lead to hours trying to get the Nvidia control panel back. Which failed because now the only way to get it is from Microsoft's stupid app store and it errors every time I try to install it. So I've decided to do a complete wipe of the OS drive and do a clean install of Windows. As soon as I get that done I'll try to install SWTOR again.... this has turned into a nightmare.
  11. I appreciate the help. I've uninstalled the game. I'm gonna do some quick clean ups then I'll re-install it. I'm using a bit older hardware as I still a 980ti. I was actually going to do a full system upgrade (The monitor was the first part since I needed one) . But then I heard that there were new graphics cards coming from Nvidia and new chips from AMD only a few months away so I figured I'd wait. Once I get the re-install complete I'll let you know where things stand.
  12. I'm using the Display port cable. I did update the firmware for my display port on my GPU as well. That didn't help, so I tried with the HDMI cable. That also failed. I can definitely try to uninstall and re-install the game using the HDMI cable but to get the 144hz I have to use the display port. I'm also not exactly convinced uninstalling and re-installing the game is going to fix this issue.
  13. When I load the game the menu's all look normal but character models and in game models (IE Planets etc) all look stretched.
  14. I'd be fine playing with boarders if that meant everything looked right. But I haven't been able to even get that to work. I'm at my wits end and ready to just chalk it up to not working and uninstall and unsubscribe again.
  15. Hi all, I'm not a new player but this seemed the most appropriate place to put this. I got a new 3440x1440 21:9 monitor for gaming. I was a long time subscriber to SWTOR but stopped for a long time due to work and other life demands. I resubscribed before I got my monitor but I was really looking forward to playing with an ultrawide. Little did I realize that SWTOR hates to use native resolutions and looks at the EDID in the registry. I've seen, read through and tried every "fix" posted on these forums and Reddit that I can find, including: Updating my monitor and gpu drivers Updating my GPU's firmware (using a MSI GTX980ti) Using CRU to remove unnecessary resolutions. Trying to manually update the resolution in the APPDATA\swtor settings ini file. Trying a different cable, HDMI (I'm currently using the Display port adapter). Tried using windowed mode. Tried using window Full screen mode. Tried using both the HDMI and Display port cable to use PIP and move the windowed mode version of the game Attempted to "Force" the aspect ration in several configurations in the NVIDIA control panel Used NVIDIA's "Game Experience" to optimize and run SWTOR I downloaded and tried to use the Extron EDID program and another EDID software but got utterly confused on the directions by the original poster and couldn't find anything online that gave a step by step on how to mess with it. I've done all this with no luck. I'm at the end of my rope and ready to just pack it in and unsubscribe. Every other game runs just fine at the right resolution and aspect ratio without having to go through all this mess. I love SWTOR which is why I did all this but honestly it's unplayable at this point and I'm out of things to try. I'm open to suggestions. Thanks
