Re: SWTOR Graphics glitches on Windows 10

@sen7ra

Will have a look after some sleep (1am now)

If you come across anything in between time let me know

@proxos666,

Sure, thank you. Good night 😉

Also since swtor just did this huge graphic patch some of the texture are still messed up while you may not have any thing wrong with your set up at all just a driver issue with anew OS.  Along other things to try is to install direct x 9 If it is a clean install of windows 10 and make sure you have even though windows 10 has a new version of direct x and it is supposed to work i seen in the past not having the version on the OS that the game is made for has issue with graphics.  I know is sound odd but this is Microsoft after all Visual C++ Redistribution for Visual Studio 2015 found at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145 reason for that is the game is program on these to things and if there missing in windows 10 you will have graphic errors even though it may play fine. I know when the game came out if we did not have both of these all kinds of weird graphic glitches happened along with graphic lag.

@neoforcer,

The DX9 way hyped me for a bit, but sadly it didn't work too. The rest of soft is already installed.

Update:

- completely removed and installed the latest nonbeta AMD drivers (now 15.7.1, not the newest 15.9.1);

- again removed TOR with its appdata and reg data, then installed it again;

Now it just won't load the char on Imperial Fleet at all. But the game is not frozen - it works, the blue circle is moving and so on.

@sen7ra Morning, just for the sake of asking.. Did you happen to go through the tedious task of turning off all the overlays and things that are at present problematic with Windows 10 + games.

ie: ATI's Raptor is a T('word'), same with Nvidia's Experience

     Windows 10 Xbox app having the overlay automatically turned on from install of Windows 10.

     Voip Overlays, Vent,Mumble,Teamspeak.. some systems have issues.

@DBWoodynz

Morning.

The only overlay that is active is MSI Afterburner. Xbox was disabled long time ago, Raptr is force-disabled. Will try to run with Afterburner disabled, thanks for the info 🙂

UPD: sadly didn't help. Tried to paste the default settings in the tor's config:

Fullscreen = false
D3DFullScreen = false
RefreshRate = 60

NativeHeight = 1080
NativeWidth = 1920
Height = "1080"
Width = "1920"

WindowX = 0
WindowY = 0

Didn't help too. Just infinite loading screens.

I just wanted to play a damn game.

Welp, didn't help too.

(*Way cool you found my old post).

@sen7ra Again just spit-balling here...

appdata/local/swtor <<<< Not read only?

Documents/swtor <<<, Not read only?

Launcher.exe   <<< set  to run as admin

Brwc_swtor.exe <<< set  to run as admin

Swtor.exe (inside the swtor/swtor/retailclient/)  <<< set  to run as admin

(.Exe files will have small shields on the icons when ) <<< set  to run as admin.

@DBWoodynz

Yeah, everything is like this.

@proxos666,

Yes, the Height and Width are without quotation marks.

About the currency format: it was the second one, yes, I've changed it to $ 123,456,789.00. Gonna try again.

@proxos666,

The thing with currency format helped me. Unbelievable.

Thank you very much!

To summarize, the first problem was, probably, because of the newest beta drivers from AMD (15.8 and 15.9.1). Solution: download DDU (dispay driver uninstaller) and completely remove your beta drivers, then, after reboot, install the recent stable drivers (15.7.1).

The second problem is the stucking loading screen at about 90%. The solution is simple: change your current currency format from " $ 123.456.789,00 " to " $ 123,456,789.00 ". This will help.

Kudos to @proxos666.

PS: noticed one interesting thing - your game won't load to some location unless your Char. selection screen has its background (not the space BG with stars).

Like this: http://i.imgur.com/UWMkxDB.png - BG appeared, the game is working now.

@sen7ra
