graphics flickering

★★★ Novice

I've been getting issues where weird white and pixelated lines appear in outdoor and some indoor areas for a split second

 

Any solution would be greatly appreciated.

Grab the newer Video Driver from this Link the one you have is from 2016.

 

How are the temps of the CPU and GPU ?

I tried installing the newer video driver but I got this error. The temps of the cpu and gpu are usually cool to warm.

I believe that error may occur when a manufactures driver is installed , it may need to be uninstalled

 

You can also try using https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html  it should mention if this is the cause.

 

Edit - that link maybe playing up try https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24345/Intel-Driver-Support-Assistant

Will flag @EA_Kipling for his thoughts as well

 

Whilst I do not have this issue as seen in your pics on my win 10 system, I am aware of others reporting having artifact issues some have been solved with driver updates, and the studio has not been able to duplicate this to date.

 

Artifacting is usually caused by memory / hardware in a lot of cases

 

But there are other possibilities some of them are even OS related , there is an insider update (Link) just released that has a fix for directx 9 games (which swtor is), how long before that leaves the ring not sure.

 

  • We fixed an issue causing reduced performance in some DirectX 9 games running at high framerates. If you’re a fan of gaming, please take a moment to try playing your favorite games on this build and share feedback.

I can keep suggesting things to test so we can eliminate as much as possible.

 

Can you post the contents of your client_setting file as well 

 

Press the [Windows] Key + [R] at the same time 

Copy the following in to the text box and press ok 

%localappdata%\swtor\swtor\settings

Open the client_settings.ini file in notepad and paste here in spoilers

 

I gather you have deleted the games cache file call diskcachearena located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\BioWare\Star Wars-The Old Republic\swtor  this can be deleted with the launcher closed a fresh cache is created on the next launch

I gather you have gone through disabling vsynch then trying fullscreen (window) and Window modes ? (vsynch can only be disabled whilst in fullscreen mode)
