Well, that'd be great, except I don't have Nvidia drivers.

Yes i know you have amd that is why I havent asked you to use it, nvidia have released a hotfix driver that addresses some post creator issues and was pointed to @CeruleanSinz

Right. Sorry! XD Can't read. lol I made sure not to tab out or click anything till it was loaded into the Character Select screen. Still crashes once I click on anything within the game.

@Owlbehr

If this is fullscreen mode when this occurs ? push the alt+enter when the game starts , this should switch to window mode , just want to confirm it still occurs 

@proxos666 Updated driver, same thing.  I run Full Screen (Windowed), tested first launch with Full Screen only. After having to sign in with the 1st crash as the launcher doesn't let me adjust settings on the fly it logged right in after logging out and in.  Will try a few times throughout the day to validate the fix, one test a trend does not make. Will update this post if it crashes again at character screen or doesn't after multiple attempts.   

If it is the cause, definately need to get this up the chain.  Not sure if its a SWTOR issue or Nvidia but sounds like SWTOR since its happening for @Owlbehr also.

I have the same problem, at least sometimes, since it I have it only on the PC and not on the Laptop,

first has Creator Update second not, seems at least connected.

What I did, and I can play after a few Game restarts, Checking and updating of the Network Drivers , install DirectX 9.

Okay I haven't been able to reproduce the crash in FullScreen, been logging in and out about 5 times since last post of mine. Sadly i hate playing full screen as it minimizes the game when I move to my other monitor to change up my music or show i'm watching, which increases risk of crashing the game. As soon as I switched back to FullScreen (Windowed) crashed on first attempt.  I loaded the game on my other PC which hasn't updated to Creator yet, works fine in FullScreen (Windowed) mode.  So for now its a annoyance but playable, Im just dealing with logging in twice.  So now the question is, will EA acknowledge its a bug?

Okay. So I did what you asked, hit alt+enter when the game started up, it put it into windowed mode. Meaning it was already in either Fullscreen, or Windowed Fullscreen (Borderless).  However, I was able to click around in game and change the settings to Windowed Fullscreen (Borderless)! And the game is still running. Maybe the game was somehow stuck on a lower resolution? I did get new monitors, but I can't remember if I played SWTOR after getting them.  So, maybe this is a resolution not switching right problem? I'll keep testing it to see if it continues to work.  God, I hope this issue gets fixed. 

I have two monitors, btw.  I can't remember if it mentions that in the Dxdiag.

This appears to a Microsoft creator issue, those that have rolled back the update, have reported the issue is gone.

@Owlbehr

Just wanted to check if you have tried 17.4.3 (Link) released a few days ago ? 

Known issues in the spoiler

I have version 17.10

@Owlbehr

Actually just rechecked you have 17.4.3
