tried in window mode ?
can you provide a dxdiag per https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-Technical/Guide-Posting-a-DxDiag/m-p/4832663/highlight/true#M70799
I've always run SWTOR in windowed mode on my laptop, and I tried it both windowed and fullscreen just to be sure it wasn't related to that. Thanks for taking a look! File is attached.
start with updating the intel video driver - https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/88355/Intel-HD-Graphics-520
then try using the intel video to load the game instead of the nvidia card and see if any change
Went ahead and tried this. Even though it seemed a bit backwards not to use the dedicated GPU, I'm just about willing to try anything.
There was one update the built in Intel Card did, but when I assigned the game to run using it, the game did not like that for lack of a better phrase. >_>;; It froze up a bunch just adjusting the window size, and took longer to load overall. I got to the character screen as usual, and it crashed during the loading just like it did using the NVIDIA card.
