Pixelated Shadows during Cutscenes?
I recently updated my graphic card (NVIDIA EVGA GTX 970 SC 2.0+) drivers (now December 21st version 361.43; clean install) as I was having a couple of odd issues (SWTOR would blink to a black screen...

I am not looking at stutters at present , likely easiest way to get rid of them is to create a profile or edit the existing profile for swtor.exe in the NVidia control panel , look for pre-rendered frames and set this to 1 , all going well the stutters you see should be almost gone.
Can you advise if any change if you completely remove the Nvidia Driver with DDU and do a clean install of 355.98 version , this is for the issue of minimise and restore to continue on black screen.
don't forget to adjust pre-rendered frames again in the control panel for the stutter
I'm working to adjust the drivers now. Would you be able to clarify (if you have any more technical insight) why new drivers are consistently breaking an "old" game? Why hasn't NVIDIA or Bioware been able to get their game to work on capable equipment? If I'm constantly needing to revert my drivers back, when can I update to the latest drivers for all of my other games/applications?
Swtor is based in Directx9Ex and is reliant on the video driver accordingly with Microsoft Directx
There are major driver issues across all 3 makers at present and all different, AMD are the easiest to fix at present, Nvidia are having multiple issues all affecting different hardware in different ways.
860M using Notebook drivers are worst affected at present the driver is still broken for most as an example, edit here
Thank you for that explanation. Although you would think Bioware could optimize their game a bit better for newer technology. Performing clean install of 355.98 now. To clarify it is the setting "Maximum pre-rendered frames" that you would like set to "1" for the program "launcher.exe" that contains the swtor.exe icon in the NVIDIA Control Panel, yes?
