Possible, but I'm not willing to say (yet) that it's intended simply because it hasn't been fixed in 2 patches. For one thing, I haven't seen many people actually report it yet (which is why I finally did), so BW might not even be aware of it. And for another, the highlighted daily bonus activity in the GC window hasn't been awarding any bonus points since they launched it (2 patches); I'm willing to bet that that's a bug, not a feature, so its clearly possible for even non-cosmetic bugs to go multiple patches without being fixed. Either way, I'd like to hear some official word, one way or another, on whether this is actually a bug or not. Otherwise, I'm just going to keep occasionally reporting it as one, cuz I dumped a whole lot of gifts onto Torian to get him to level 30, and would like to get him back someday...

After finishing KotET with my Jedi Knight, I'm unable to retrieve Torian from the companion terminal--the option for it is grayed out and not selectable. On the other hand, it did work just fine when I used it with my bounty hunter; I was able to retrieve both Torian and Scorpio on that character. (Both of these refer to option #1: "I wish to retrieve my companions who were lost during the Fallen Empire.") My Jedi Knight got Torian all the way to influence level 30, and would really like to have him back, if only for crafting and gathering purposes...

I'm playing on a laptop: AMD Radeon R6, 2.50 GHz, 8GB of RAM. Monday night, before the 5.0 patch, it worked just fine. Now, it's just lines and conals and artifacts all over the place in the (older) outdoor areas.

Yes, I'm using an AMD Radeon, and yes, I've tried turning every setting down as low as they'll possibly go. Still getting this issue. I haven't really noticed it much at all during KOTET stuff (aside from massive problems in the Iokath giant droid-walker fight), so I assume KOTFE will probably be similarly trouble-free. But try going to Taris (Imp or Pub), or Belsavis or Alderaan. Try doing the 3 heroics on Ord Mantell. That's where the game becomes almost unplayable.

Same thing for me. I've noticed that (so far) it mostly seems to occur in outdoor areas on the older/original planets; once I get indoors somewhere it pretty much goes away. Everything was fine on Monday night, before the patch, and now... this.
