K so long story short my NoteBook plays SWTOR fine, but when I hooked up my external monitor to it it shut it off, but still played on the original monitor. So I went to screen resolution and made my external monitor my primary monitor, but it still shuts it off and I get a no single, no sound no nothing. No idea why. Can anyone how to get it to work on my external monitor or why it doesn't work on my external monitor? Edit: Because of this I also missed the opening cinematic anyone know how to rewatch it I looked for it in SWTOR program files, but to no avail.

The opening cinematic plays whenever you create a new character.

No idea how to fix your monitor problem. Try running other games to make sure it's not a general problem.

I believe it's the same one that played as a teaser for months. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlFYKBTwlRY

K found the problem I needed to change the ingame settings to 60hz instead of 85hz. Why something so little would cause such a big problem.........

I believe it was trying to produce 2 different refresh rates on each monitor, so the monitor turns off to avoid damage. Very common.
