SWTOR Graphics glitches on Windows 10

Hey there. Decided to continue playing SWTOR (KOTOR feelings ☹️) after a 1.5 year brake. The thing is - my first TOR experience was on Windows 8. Currently my PC specs are same, but I've upgraded m...

    Just because I got caught out not mentioning something in regards to loading screens recently , I will mention just to confirm.

    With the loading screen halt , how does your windows display currency ? $ 1,000.00 or $ 1.000,00 if it is the latter loading screen will halt @90%

    Edit - below you list

    Height = "1080"
    Width = "1920"

    these should just be

    Height = 1080
    Width = 1920

@sen7ra Morning, just for the sake of asking.. Did you happen to go through the tedious task of turning off all the overlays and things that are at present problematic with Windows 10 + games.

ie: ATI's Raptor is a T('word'), same with Nvidia's Experience

     Windows 10 Xbox app having the overlay automatically turned on from install of Windows 10.

     Voip Overlays, Vent,Mumble,Teamspeak.. some systems have issues.

Morning.

The only overlay that is active is MSI Afterburner. Xbox was disabled long time ago, Raptr is force-disabled. Will try to run with Afterburner disabled, thanks for the info 🙂

UPD: sadly didn't help. Tried to paste the default settings in the tor's config:

Fullscreen = false
D3DFullScreen = false
RefreshRate = 60

NativeHeight = 1080
NativeWidth = 1920
Height = "1080"
Width = "1920"

WindowX = 0
WindowY = 0

Didn't help too. Just infinite loading screens.

I just wanted to play a damn game.

    @sen7ra Again just spit-balling here...

    appdata/local/swtor <<<< Not read only?

    Documents/swtor <<<, Not read only?

    Launcher.exe   <<< set  to run as admin

    Brwc_swtor.exe <<< set  to run as admin

    Swtor.exe (inside the swtor/swtor/retailclient/)  <<< set  to run as admin

    @proxos666,

    Yes, the Height and Width are without quotation marks.

    About the currency format: it was the second one, yes, I've changed it to $ 123,456,789.00. Gonna try again.

    @proxos666,

    The thing with currency format helped me. Unbelievable.

    Thank you very much!

    To summarize, the first problem was, probably, because of the newest beta drivers from AMD (15.8 and 15.9.1). Solution: download DDU (dispay driver uninstaller) and completely remove your beta drivers, then, after reboot, install the recent stable drivers (15.7.1).

    The second problem is the stucking loading screen at about 90%. The solution is simple: change your current currency format from " $ 123.456.789,00 " to " $ 123,456,789.00 ". This will help.

    Kudos to @proxos666.

    PS: noticed one interesting thing - your game won't load to some location unless your Char. selection screen has its background (not the space BG with stars).

    Like this: http://i.imgur.com/UWMkxDB.png - BG appeared, the game is working now.
