Feels a bit challenging for me. Think three reinstalations of Windows is enough for one week (if something should go wrong).
I have installed Win10, and SWTOR is performing bad as expected.
Hopefully an updated Radeon driver will fix my problems in the future. Can always hope.
If not I will give your solution a try.
Thank you for your help!

Tried to install the driver from the HP-website. Didn't work.
Attaching a new dxdiag. Win10 and drivers installed.
Benny
Looks like your best reverting back to Win 8 , try upgrading to Win 10 every few months to see if sorted.
Cant offer much else i'm afraid at this point.
Seems like the best option.
Thank you!
Eventhough, we didn't manage to fix the issue, you have been very helpful.
Best regards,

Welcome Mate, MTFBWU
You could try installing DirectX 9.0, as SWTOR runs with Dx9 and you have Dx10 currently installed.
Good idea!
Was just thinking on that after finding this blogpost.

Sounds like my problem.
I'll have a go and get back to you with the result.
Thanks 🙂
Benny
Nope.
No success. Guess I just have to wait it out. Maybe SWTOR will stabalize in time. Maybe a fix will come.
Out of options.
Thanks for good advice from both of you!
Benny
Morning I know I am late to the party, but out of curiosity you did try making your way through this guide yes?
The additional questions would be , did you remove the 'read only' from your appdata/swtor folder and all its subfolders including to do the same for your 'documents/swtor' (screenshots and combat logs will crash game).
Did you right click your windows desktop and then ensure all the Screen Resolution settings there were your pc's 'Native' settings; to only then do the same for your ATI software (*If you have more then one screen, then screen orientation is very important also), and then ensure that it was the same for your game_settings.cfg file?
Did you ensure to not install AMD's Raptor program while you were installing your ATI drivers? Along with all the other programs mentioned turning off their 'overlays'?
Thanks alot for input.
I haven't tried your solution yet. Been a bit much this week. If things don't get better, I will try this a well.
I will give feedback here then.
Thanks!

Hi, I've been having the same problem. I have followed the install guide and got rid of the AMD Raptor program (uninstalled it entirely). Also turned off the X-box App overlay and installed DirectX 9. Definitely an improvement, but still can't change my graphics options (stuck on medium; trying to change them just freezes things, and then reverts back to medium) - game is very jerky which detracts from the play experience.
Hi
Exactly the same problem as me. I guess you are using a HP as aswell?
I reinstalled both the game and windows. In windows 8.1., everything worked. When I installed windows 10, the problems were back.
You could try to revert back to win 8. You should be able to change the settings. Then go back to win 10, or stay with win 8.
I don't know if this problem will be fixed. We can only hope.
Best regards,
Benny
Thanks @DBWoodynz; already removed the read only. I went through all your steps 🙂
Yup, a new HP on which I've run Windows 10 since I got it. Up until the most recent update STWOR has been playable (a little jerky, but not too bad) but it seems to be the latest update in combination with Windows 10 that is causing the issue. I'm pretty disappointed as I've been a subscriber in anticipation of the new expansion and my subscription literally rolled over today.
TBH, while I could wind back to Windows 8.1, I don't think I have the patience to do so. I have very limited free time around work and other than SWTOR everything else seems to work fine in Windows 10. I have so many other things to do that it's just not worth the hassle sorting it out. If it's not sorted out promptly, I'll probably just walk away.
Woody made this post that has helped others
have you tried specifically this ?
Hi @proxos666; Yes, I did that earilier (as well as everything else in Woody's post). I went and double checked it however and it had re-set to read only (and every time I change it, it immediately reverts back to read-only)
Have your tried applying this to specifically the client_settings file ?
Impression is it is likely related to this folder , can also delete the entire swtor folder in the appdata area , it will auto recreate on next launch
if you want to keep any custom Uis copy the GUIProfile folder out and paste it back after the folder recreates.
No idea if this will help just suggestions on possible steps to try
Tried this solution as well.
Unchecked the 'read only' and confirmed. Closed the folder, before going back to check. The 'read only' was back.
Benny
Have you tried deleting that appdata swtor folder ? maybe cut it out to desktop so can paste back if required
Not the whole folder. I have however tried to delete the client_settings file (and the rest of the files) in the swtor settings folder.
The client_setting file now on place. I have unchecked the 'read-only'.
None of these measures fixed the problem.
Like with @zcthu3 my problems came with the last update (the one were they updated the 'start-browser'). Have had win 10 since late summer. No problems until about a week ago.
Thanks again for trying to help!
Benny🙂
When you run swtor is it running as administrator ?
I am wondering if windows permissions are causing this
Edit - have we tried creating a new windows administrator account ?
Seems like we have exactly the same problem.
I'm in the same situation. Work and studies. I think I just have to wait and hope for a new update that will fix the problem.
If however you find a solution, please share it in this tread. I will off course to the same.
Good luck!
Benny 🙂
Have not tried to create a new admin account, but have tried to reinstall windows 8.1. and 10.
Benny
What about starting the game in a completely new windows administrator account ?
Can delete this windows account if no change later
