Jedi under Siege: Gnost Dural cutscene freeze

Product: Star Wars: The Old Republic
Platform:Steam-PC
What is your Star Wars: The Old Republic Display Name? (optional) Novaenon
What is the AMD or Nvidia Model Number of your graphics card? Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000
What time did this happen? Please include the timezone. 4/29/2021 @ 2350 Hours (EST) and 4/30/2021 @ 1700 Hours (EST)
What class were you playing? Sith Marauder / Jedi Sentinel
What role were you playing? Damage
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What happens when the bug occurs? As a Sith Marauder fighting for the Empire, I defeat Jedi Master Gnost Dural in the Jedi Under Siege story chain, the cutscene plays, then freezes once it has completed. The cutscene fades to black with subtitles still on screen - then freezes. Alt-tab doesn't work, and I cant force close the program using the task manager as I am unable to see the thing itself. The story does not progress. I have also tried resetting my active phases and the mission itself without success. I would include screenshots but there wouldn't really be much to see - this isn't a graphical bug.
What do you expect to see? Another cutscene should play of the Warrior and Malgus exiting the temple into a starfighter attack.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? All that has to be done is to run through the event chain.

OS: Windows 10 Pro

Account Type: Preferred

Device Model: Lenovo T430s

On this character, Jaesa is still a light side/ neutral force user as opposed to a Sith.

I've been told the issue may be that my computer is too old/slow to run this area - if so, if someone could direct me to someone who could advance me past this specific scene it would be much appreciated.

    Expect to get cutscene freezes , especially in the newer content , the older content should be ok mostly

    lower all gfx settings and it may progress ok

    if you get stuck stuck email support@swtor.com and they can move you forward, or play that stcuk area on another computer 

    the reason for the cutscene freezes is the video card is below the minimum game requirements 

    your video card has  Dedicated Memory: 32 MB  the game requirement is now Dedicated Memory: 1024 MB

    Edit - in your original post you mention Nvidia 5200M there is no sign of that video card in the attached dxdiag ?

    your video card is 

    Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000

  • As an update to my previous post, I signed on today to check if the bug was still persisting, and it seems to have solved itself. One thing I noticed different was that as opposed to being prone or appearing winded as if defeated, Gnost Dural was standing, although the cutscene that played when I clicked on was the same as the one that had given me trouble in the past. Other than that, I noticed nothing, and did nothing different. I've set the frequency of this bug in my OP as "often", but I don't want to write it off entirely, because I've noticed a post on the SWTOR forum with extremely similar circumstances and issues.

    @proxos666 thanks for the help, explanations, and advice - I'll edit the OP, I just looked up the make and model of my computer when I was looking for device specs.
