After the first several days of putting up with this game, I am about to. This game most definitely was NOT ready for release. The bugs are too numerous to list and many are major ones. Bioware is not paying me for my time to generate a proper bug report and so I will not further waste it. Here are just a few... 1. Numerous archeology nodes on every planet I've been to so far cannot be interacted with. Mousing over the node does not cause the cursor to change and right clicking on the node does nothing. Yet it shows up on the map as a node. A minor thing perhaps, but very annoying when you kill your way through a bunch of mobs to get to it. How did such a thing make it to release? 2. When interacting with a pvp gear vendor, selecting the sort option to show me only gear that is useable by my character does nothing. I am still shown the complete list of gear available even though I cannot use the vast majority of it. 3. I constantly need to dismiss and then re-summon my companion to get him to be with me when I jump off even a small ledge or rock. This is not 100% of the time, but often enough that I wish I had a macro for it. These are just a few things that I can think of off the top of my head. If I actually cataloged every problem encountered in the game, I could write a book. Here is the BIG one. My son's BH has been completely prevented from progressing in the game as he cannot move past a class quests. This is now known to apply to male BHs as well as my son has experienced it. Right now, he cannot progress his character at all and this condition is going on two full days now. The reply to his in-game ticket took well over 24 hours and it was a canned reply at that. 24+ hours for a canned reply with no specific information about what is being done to resolve the issue nor any estimate of a time frame to do so? This company knows nothing about customer "support". My gameplay experience is well less than optimal and I am now wondering why I payed for 3-months up front. I am now about to go see if I can cancel the account for a full refund. Bioware... You seriously need to fix this game. It has great potential and there is much to like about it. However, it was (still is) NOT ready for release. Not even close. I for one would much preferred to of waited another month or three for a more mature product than to be asked to pay a subscription just so that I can beta test it. Please get it right.

I appreciate the info. I found the answer shortly after posting. Correct. Run as Admin in Win7. Major "Doh!" moment for me. You'd think that by now this would be the first thing to try for about anything now working as expected under Win7. Have a good one. May the Shwartz be with you!

Vent is broken only when attempting to use it while playing swtor. Other than that? Not much.

I also cannot see any search. Further, every post I try to access from a google search result page for Ventrilo problems is met with a "No Thread specified." page.
