Discussion An update from your friendly neighborhood swtor_miner on Torcommunity DB. Loading the 5.0 PTS patch into the site went without a hitch for us, while miner had a huge issue because the quest rewards changed and it broke his tools. So whenever Bioware makes a patch publicly available, we can download and mine it.
[PROBLEM HAS BEEN SOLVED, SEE SOLUTION BELOW]
Hey there.
Decided to continue playing SWTOR (KOTOR feelings :( ). The thing is - my first TOR experience was on Windows 8. Currently my PC specs are same, but I've upgraded my Windows to W10. And the following graphics glitches appeared:
PC conf (again, everything worked great on W8): Intel i5-4670; AMD R9 270X x2 Crossfire (Xfire is disabled in TOR); DDR3-1866 16GB RAM
The launcher has successfully upgraded itself with the bitraider thingie. Game runs perfectly fine right before loading in any location (character screen displays my char absolutely fine).
Is there any way to fix it?
Update:
Game Patch Download
completely removed and installed the latest nonbeta AMD drivers (now 15.7.1, not the newest 15.9.1);
again removed TOR with its appdata and reg data, then installed it again;

Now it just won't load the char on Imperial Fleet at all (other chars don't load too). But the game is not frozen - it works, the blue circle is moving and so on.
UPD2:
The thing with currency format helped me. Unbelievable. Thanks to proxos666 from EA support forums!
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.
Swtor Patch 6.0
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.
