Random Loading Screens and Occasional Graphics Driver Crash

Also I misunderstood your post and didn't realize that deleting disk cache arena was a valid thing for the nonstreaming client and not just the streaming client since you put it below the streaming client (was late and wasn't thinking)

Tried that, won't know if it'll work until I don't crash for a while I guess, I'll keep you posted!

Thanks man!

Still not working, reattempting, going to try to see what happens when I disable the loading screens.

I did manage to find an area of my stronghold with consistent crashing so I can use that as a benchmark of sorts.

Running FixLauncher

So.... repairing the launcher gives me the original launcher and even after the update it still has be at the pre update launcher.

yup, running fix launcher sticks me with the old UI for the launcher uhh /shrug

Still crashing, probably just going to have to get a new computer at this rate.

I'm noticing that the "same crash" doesn't happen more than once if the game stays on.

@RydarusVeneris

using the repair utility here will return the new launcher style

Seems like the crashing miiiiight be a hardware issue, but I don't know. I'm getting a new computer anyway but this is annoying to say the least.

thanks for all your help though.

@RydarusVeneris

Welcome, any crash issue is a PITA and frustrating.

Have you looked in the reliability monitor to see if any details is listed when this occurs ?

nothing in the reliability monitor, I did have a BSOD today due to running out of memory, apparently CCleaner has a few incompatibilities with win10.

Nothing in relation to tor though.

@RydarusVeneris

Nothing in the reliability monitor makes it hard

if you use this it may provide more information if dumps where made on the crashes.

As it stands right now I can reliably get the game to "reload" itself but I can't reliably reproduce a driver crash, mostly because they happen significantly less often in windows 10.

In other games I occasionally see flickering which makes me think it might be a GPU problem, but who knows at this point :\

got these from the WhoCrashed app, though these I believe were from the CCleaner crash.

This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in a standard Microsoft module. Your system configuration may be incorrect. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver on your system that cannot be identified at this time.

@RydarusVeneris

This is the bug check reported

Now this is occurring in the directx kernel, so it is tied to the graphics side of the house, and would think more related to the error your getting ingame

doesn't help with an actual cause though

if you want to post a dxdiag , can have a look as a 2nd set of eyes if anything looks out of place

@RydarusVeneris

have you tried going back to the dell drivers ,

use DDU to remove both the NVidia and intel driver then use the drivers here

Install the Intel driver first , reboot and install the NVidia driver , reboot and then see if it is still the same

You may need this to stop the auto update

Double post

I've never used DDU period, I've only ever used the default Nvidia clean install. I'll try DDU before using current drivers, and if that doesn't work I'll use the original Dell Drivers.

Additionally I actually do need my computer to have the latest drivers for different games, so using the original dell drivers would be a stopgap measure for me at best.

Nada.

@RydarusVeneris

have you tried going into the bios and disable the intel video card (iGFX) in the bios ?

Just to be sure it is out of the mix.

Be sure your using the NVidia card before disabling the intel

Can't, the intel card is the display card, it renders on the nvidia and then goes through the intel to get to the display. Also I have it set in control panel to show which apps are using the Nvidia GPU and SWTOR is definitely on it.
