SWTOR Constant Random Crashing

I got back into the game after a few years a month and a half back and since then I have been plagued with random unrepeatable crashing of the game. The game can crash on launch, I can be idle, in a fight, walking, on a speeder, in a cutscene, open up a menu, basically anything can cause the game to crash. I have lowered the graphics, updated driver, verified files, repaired the game, deleted the client settings, and optimized my game to run on my desktop (which is just ultra settings on all). I am at a lose of what to do and so frustrated. 

Here are my rigs specs:

Processor    13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700F   2.10 GHz
Installed RAM    32.0 GB (31.8 GB usable)
System type    64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Operating system: Microsoft Windows 11 Home, Version 10.0.26100
DirectX runtime version: DirectX 12
Driver: Game Ready Driver - 576.80 - Tue Jun 17, 2025
CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700F
RAM: 32.0 GB
Storage: SSD - 931.5 GB

  • can you provide a link to a dxdiag per this guide
    this is to look at the crash reports and overall hardware/drivers
    I gather your running an nvidia card by the driver version you mentioned

    also ensure your motherboard bios is fully up to date - example of issue

    The dxdiag is showing Bccode 141 

    Event Name: LiveKernelEvent Response: Not available Cab Id: 0
    Problem signature: P1: 141

    This can be a hardware issue but it can be driver related, i would check temps are ok in the system (when the game is running) as thermals can cause these type of issues too

    it also shows swtor crashing in the video driver 
    Problem signature:
    P1: swtor.exe 
    P4: nvd3dumx.dll

    important to check temps when the game is running for a while as swtor makes a great thermal test

    Running SWTOR and looking at temps in the gpu I see temps around 40 C to 50 C, which is low for this computer running games. Is there anything else I should check or can do to see issues with this?

    What should I do to fix the driver issue? I have the latest driver from NVidia installed or at least that is what the program is saying.

    Check CPU and motherboard temps as well, may not be due to thermal so need to eliminate, may need to run the game for at least 10 -20 minutes to be sure

    the driver issue is associated with what ever is causing the 141 bccode, this can still be a hardware issue, could explain why the crashes are random, mind high temps would produce the same randomness hence checking

    run a clean boot per this guide to narrow down any software causes

    I just did a clean boot and tried running the game and it crashed quick, should I try anything else in this state?

    For CPU temps I'm running between 30C and 50C. I do not have a way to see Motherboard temps.

    What steps should I look at taking now?

    Hard to say what to do from here 

    You could press the windows key and type Windows Memory Diagnostic and test the system memory , mind this test needs fairly bad errors to find them

    From there not much more i can offer from a forum, if no other program is causing issues you have done almost everything to try and find what

    You could try using DDU  and do a clean install of the nvidia video driver just in case of corruption

    Windows Memory Diagnostic shows all clear when I have done it before, as you said it must be pretty bad.

    I may try to use DDU but I am at a loss as this is the only game I have that crashes on this desktop. Thanks for the help! I will probably retry some stuff.

    its an unusual one 

    Try placing the nvidia driver into debug mode too , and make sure there are no overclocks on the cpu and ram
    Debug mode removes overclocks on the video card and returns to nvidia reference clocks
