A couple of things you can try: 1. Have you tried launching your X Mouse Button control software with Administrator Priveledges prior to launching SWTOR ? 2. Do you run SWtor in XP compatability Mode ? - if so, try removing that and launch the game to see if your 'keystroke' settings are now being picked up. P.S. Most 3rd party Mouse control software (logitech etc) provides the option to use that s/w setting during games (i.e. override the 'default' MS Mouse settings) - does your X Mouse Button control software have that sort of option?

I sympathise with the OPs view. I'd like to see options within the Companion UI that allow you to select if that Companion should be 'romanceable'. That way players would not be 'forced' to, even avoid, romance type options within dialogue or actions taken. i.e. If the Romance 'tag' is set to NO then romance/flirt options should not even occur within dialogues. ..and for this particular Companion - I'd like to see an additional Quest option that sends him to a Veteranarian for the required procedures !

Drop into the 'volcano' type structures filled with green slime and drop a body part, fight off the 'attracted' Arachnids... and move on
