The last collection of problems are bigger than just drivers. Windows version 10 (very stable) with CU is like Windows 11 as it has all new logon account unification and graphics rendering full screen recording and controls, none of the games are ready and stable yet. CU is supposed to give properly coded games a higher speed pipeline to GPU/ CPU and memory. For now its the last thing our older games need. Micro$oft is going to copy how Apple delivers OS via online patching of massive overhauls top to bottom. Windows 10 is the last normal windows.

CU and Microsoft April flash and C+ updated throw the incompatable system or c7 or just crash out Battlefront and SWTOR on a purpose built gaming pc no matter what new drivers are installed Once all that is removed the games will play but only after the 2nd launcher try

Anyone have to start swtor, logon, then it's a crash error, then repeat and it eventually runs the game?

So EA Battlefront on high end PC Windows 10 Home would not Login just now but it worked this earlier today. Rebooted no help. Then i just uninstalled the two June 2017 C+ executable and Adobe Flash update and walla back to stable gaming pc like it was for many months...... Just want to get the message out to EA BW for debuggin consideration. I am afraid these problems have no "owner" .

Agreed!

Search and you will find stacks of games broken by Creators Update. Both AMD and Nvidia GPU'S. Also a lot of peripheral and HD audio hardware fails. I have a oem NVIDIA contact now aware of these issues. Even for those using it, all the reports say it destroys frame rates so it's best without it. Microsoft is in a security hardening bully posture and it's very difficult to not install Creators Update. It keeps coming back and reinstalls too. Our systems should be secured but for a gaming system with all kind of higher performing hardware and sensitive drivers and tunings often the hardware needs to be set and forget. Therefore EA/BW must partner with Microsoft to keep things current Until then, Microsoft must provide an easy way to opt out of these bugs from Creators Update. Read my prior post why we should care about Creators Update. It's supposed to give the full screen game better performance and better direct access to the hardware but it does the opposite as it's brand new and fankly a rouge patch that impacts the login stack and all areas of drivers.

Dear EA Developers, We would ilke a ruling on this if Microsoft hostile CREATORS UPDATE 1703 that breaks SWTOR and Battlefront which both use different engines. Reports on xbox systems also have broken games. Does Battlefront 2 have this problem? Will SWTOR using non Origin loader be fixed with a patch? How to prevent this problem, here are some notes based on reading other EA Origin forums: If you have Windows 10 Pro and select defer "creators update" but Windows 10 Home does not have this block option. On Windows 10 Home, and if using WIFI select "this is a metered connection" (to block updates) in Settings, set your Active hours Start time and End as close to 24 hours per day so your shutdowns and restarts and sleep will not keep getting these "mandatory" Creators Updates over and over. Finally if you have Creators Update and it no longer will permit "uninstall", you have to rollback Windows to a Previous Edition. I will update this thread later with the Windows Services which can be disabled and possible registry settings to force block the updates from every starting after testing got gaming PC'S Creators update and why gamers should care http://time.com/4735901/windows-10-creators-update/

That one is good but look for fastest CPU clock speed like 3.0 ghz or better. Less cores more clock speed for 32 bit swtor.

Unistall or rollback 1703 patch ,remove creators update. It breaks login and a big list of issues.

The named east coast servers have been dead. Curios as I don't see many active guilds listed in these threads now.

Well I just read about 20 long reviews from Subject Matter Experts and all are publishing that Creators Update should not be installed on most systems especially gaming systems. It can break GPU, HD audio, hard disk access, report disk size too small, breaks network and wifi drivers, and breaks a long list of third party software and hardware randomly so basically it's junk. Creators Update should be considered a pilot and not installed. The more advanced hardware you have the more crashing you will get. Many have to reimage OS from scratch. NVIDIA GPU broken after creators update https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/1003027/geforce-drivers/w10-creator-update-and-nvidia-drivers-issues-/ and here http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=918402&highlight=Creators+Update

Same exact issue. Remove all recent Windows 10 updates and game works perfectly. [/size]

Microsoft's Automatic updates applied to Windows 10 on perfect i7 CPU & AMD GPU, SSD, 32 G hardware and no bugs, then rebooted and can no longer play EA Battlefront on PC nor SWTOR. Both games use a differnet boot loader and now they refused to load either it says " incompatable system " or some other Direct X 10 error. Updated Video driver no effect same problem. Remove about 6 Microsoft Patch from 5/x/2017 and both games immediatly work perfect like before. I can defer these updates for 30 days but this needs fixing EA. Therefore EA is not keeping up with compatablity & security updates and testing on Microsoft latest build?

DEAR EA/BIOWARE/SWTOR Development, Does marketing and development work at the same company or should we assume they don't talk and actually work at seperate compaines? Guildships and Banks have got to move too with Guildmaster. Development, let please provide a way to move a very expensive GuildShip and decorations and Guildbank tabs. Or lets find a way to refund the credits to the Guildmaster so they can purchase thier missing Guildship back!

SWTOR/EA Developers --> How hard would it be to "HIDE Loincloth/flapps" option like we already have for Headgear please? If it's an unlock for subs only or a cartel Item it would be very popular. Or just sell alternate gear without them? For example just look how popular the toothpick was before that option was available. Yes poster is correct, the heavy graphics corruption all the time for the loincloth and flaps makes the character illustration look unfinished and primative. On of the most ridiculous hanging flaps occurs unnaturally when a toon is on a mount and the cloth is dragging on the ground but there are numerous other examples posted above.

I support this. 186 geared level 60 need something more to spend basic on.

I don't believe it would be very difficult. There are many third party tools that do this. But for free SWTOR already has a profanity blocker in place and it works perfect. All that is needed is to add the offending domain names to a similar filter. It would not be perfect, spammers could start to spell thier web names different but those coud be blocked just as easy in a global all server block txt file just like profanity.

There are a few threads on this important topic. SWTOR could "watermark" the colors with a 'symbol' or 'number' that follows the color to make this game color deficiency friendly. Or SWTOR could use some other easy method such as a ssociate a triangle, or square, or octagon, or circle depending on the Operational Objective which is now coded in only a color.

SWTOR developers. This spam is embarassing. it would be very easy to stop credit farmer spam with KEYWORD filter with all the illegal lvling and credit sale web sites (chat would auto block them with ***** just like it does with profanity now, so easy). If you block the domain names of those illegal web sites in General Chat, it would impact the credit farmers from being able to list those offending web sites in chat and it would organically stop. If this does not get fixed the only conclusion is that SWTOR supporrts credit farmer third party web sites.

try another internet browser. don't use IE. Use Chome or Firefox.

Bump thread. Lets get a dev response please

Bump. If we can please get development to clarify level of effort for 64 bit client. For example would a SWTOR uninstall need to occur and fresh 64 Bit Download and clean reinstall. I am a checking and windows XP fell off the radar and does not have any support for hotfix or servive pack or even malware so it's a two way win for Bioware/EA to move to 64 BIT.

Yes, if we don't see any Dev news regarding a 64 Bit Client we know the SWTOR arc is wrapping up. 32 Bit clients are about 10 years out of date. Even Windows XP had a 64Bit OS. And the progression is XP, XP64, VISTA64, W7-64, W8-64, and W10 coming out in a few months. Our gaming video hardware is actually 1024 Bit and higher bit for over 10 years.

Development could easliy fix this for color deficient population by using a Symbol or a simple number watermarked in the quest area.

Everything Downloaded and I can't start the game. The installer is crashing and auto running the Repair Scan over and over Then that finally finished. Now it's Downloading the Game Client.
