GCrion Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 So I recently got into SWTOR (finally) and I'm having a weird issue where Windows will not shut down properly after running the game and I have to hold my power button to shut down. Windows shuts down fine so long as I haven't played yet. I've tried reinstalling the client and switching to the non-streaming version of the launcher as well. Neither have any effect. Other than that the game plays fine. Any suggestions on what else I can try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediQuaker Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 The most basic thing to do first is to make sure all your drivers are up-to-date - audio, graphics, chipset, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediKnightGeorge Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Windows itself won't shut down? Or your game won't close properly? If it's the former, I can't tell you much unfortunately without me being at your computer. However, Windows is finicky and could maybe (strong maybe?) be hanging due to a SWTOR process not closing properly. Run cntrl+alt+delete and open Task Manager. Click on the processes tab and see if anything that says SWTOR is still running. This is just a suggestion. I honestly don't know. Good luck!

AlrikFassbauer Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Which version of "Windows" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LD_Little_Dragon Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Run cntrl+alt+delete and open Task Manager. Click on the processes tab and see if anything that says SWTOR is still running. I have a desktop that won't shut the game down properly. Using task manager to shut off the swotor process worked, but then I found that alt-F4 also worked. I don't quit the game anymore on that computer, just hit alt-F4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue seems to have resolved itself with the latest patch... It wasn't a stuck process though. Already checked for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSparten Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Just wanted to say thanks about Alt F4 suggestion. It was hanging for me on shut down but Alt F4 works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
