Example of Issue Here
RIght mouse click on the game shortcut and select open file location
In this location of windows explorer you will find launcher.exe , right mouse click on launcher.exe and select properties, select the compatibility tab , tick "run this program as administrator" and tick " run this program in compatibility mode for " select Windows XP SP 3
click ok , then back in the windows explorer , double click into the swtor folder, then double click into the retailclient folder, you will find swtor.exe here
right mouse click on swtor.exe, and select properties, select the compatibility tab , tick "run this program as administrator" and tick " run this program in compatibility mode for " select Windows XP SP 3 , click ok
Both these need to be identical, now just to be sure
Go back to the desktop shortcut and do the same thing , right mouse click on game shortcut, and select properties, select the compatibility tab , tick "run this program as administrator" and tick " run this program in compatibility mode for " select Windows XP SP 3 , click ok
Start the game as normal
