Loading screen Crashes on Voss - SWTOR

So last night I got my Jedi Consular story to Voss and logged out on that planet. This morning when I went to load the character, the loading screen freezes when it's at 3/4 of the way loaded and the game crashes.

I can load any of my other characters just fine, so I lowered the graphics to as low as they can go and it still did the same thing.

This has never happened before, it usually loads just fine. I also tried to repair the files using the launcher, but that had the same effect.

I will be emailing support to see if they can get my character moved to the fleet, but that could take a little bit I've heard.

Does anyone have any other ideas as to what I could do to get my loading screen working again?

    Ok the intel video card is below minimum requirements just for awareness so may cause issues in the newer content as well 

    the driver you have is a 2012 driver which even pre-dates windows 10 as that intel video card built into the CPU is not supported on windows 10 , give this utility link a run as there maybe be a win 10 specific legacy driver for that intel card, having such an old driver may cause its own issues.

    Driver Date/Size: 11/25/2012

     I gather this is your system https://www.cnet.com/products/asus-essentio-cm5675-07/specs/  I would recommend taking that case down to a computer store and see if you can fit a cheap AMD or Nvidia video card - this will avoid alot of future issues.

  • Thank you for the info,

    I have emailed the support team to request a character relocation. I've never had a problem loading the game before and it runs fine, but I will look into that card. I'm not sure if I can afford it, though.

    Understand fully , given the hardware if you can try for something like this as an example or if you can stretch it this   i wouldnt spend anymore money on that system to be honest 

    edit - the 1050 would be my first pick but the 1030 is the backup 

    Hope this helps 

  • Thank you, I will definitely look into it. This computer is really old and I've been looking into getting a new one but it is definitely a stretch for me right now. I'm not looking to spend tons of money on this PC since I am planning on replacing it in the next few years or so, but a 1030 will suffice until then, I suppose, when I can get that money.

    Thanks for all the help.

    Welcome 

    Just to give you an idea of the performance differences between the cards

    Your Intel card benchmark - Link

    The GT1030 Benchmark - Link

    The GT1050 Benchmark - Link  

    That why I recommend the GT1050 which should cost an extra $35 over the 1030 

    May The Force Be With You
