The main issue with intel cards , most do not meet the minimum dedicated vram requirement of 1GB most have like 128mb
changing game location only change i am aware of is it uses a different diskcachearena cache file that is in the game folder (size is about 1GB), all other settings at least from swtor side remain the same.
That might be the case, though I have not experienced an issue using Intel xe. On Fedora and using Intel xe I can run my graphics on high, 1080p, 60fps with no flickering and great detail and textures. But the same PC running swtor on windows 11 looks blurry AF. There's some problem with the update only affecting Windows users but not affecting Fedora users, possibly not affecting any Linux users, possibly not affecting Linux users with the new kernel, etc.
i have made a post at https://forums.swtor.com/topic/929020-high-quality-texture-setting-showing-low-quality-textures-answer-found/?do=findComment&comment=9754561 regarding low textures too
