Hey all
So I decided to download and try the game(free version). When it finally finished installing and I clicked play I got a black screen that said "check signal cable", I have had that before when I tried to switch BF3 to 120hz, found out it was because I didn't have the proper cable for my 120hz monitor to actually run at that speed lol. (Have reg dvi cable instead of dual dvi, samsung syncmaster 3D 2233 monitor)
But that's not the weird part, after I had the check cable message pop up I tried to alt-tab out, nothing. Tried alt-f4 to see if the game would close, nothing. So I hit restart on the comp and booted back up, BUT after I got passed the windows logo I got "Check signal cable" yet again.... I had to do a system restore in order to get my rig to boot properly again. All that was removed from the restore was SW TOR and everything booted fine again.
So after I got it up and running I made sure to check my video card. Its a HD 6870 and everything seemed fine. Temps in and out of games using HWMonitor (tried Borderlands 2 just to be safe) were normal, my driver is at 12.10, which is the latest etc.
I am running Windows 8 Pro also.
Anyone have any ideas what could have caused this? Could SW:TOR been set to 120hz by default? How would that have caused issues with Win 8 like it did?
Also to add. The beta for this game worked great on my rig, had no issue like this.
