Updated drivers. Same issue
Please note that the game launches but crashes in the char select menu or in-game, always after like 30 seconds. It doesn't seem to be a launcher issue. Something is killing the process only when from steam. Not UAC, not WD... I have no clue; it's frustrating
Try doing a clean boot https://help.ea.com/au/help/faq/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/ ( you will need to leave the steam strapper running i would think ) and see if any change
Not sure what else can affect the game, normally a cause of swtor crashing is a 3rd party overlay being inserted into the game on startup

TLDR: disable this: https://prnt.sc/G_tgqOUnW128
FINALLY FIXED!!!
Oh God, a week troubleshooting and it was effing Discord!!
Did what you asked: disabled everything at launch, and it went fine. Loaded up the usual suspects (nVidia, Adobe, sound switchers, MSI, etc).
Everything fine. UNTIL I launch Discord, then after mere seconds, crash. I shut it down, load the game, goes fine. I load Discord, crash.
After some googling, apparently (careful, you're about to read some tinfoil stuff) Discord is ALWAYS ready to stream or it's streaming all the time.
Disabling all these settings makes the game work: https://prnt.sc/G_tgqOUnW128
Baffled, but solved. Leaving this open for whomever might encounter the same issue.
Many thanks, Proxos666!
