Now if they could just get rid of the new flickering issue. . . *sigh*

This fixed it for me, went from i5 2500k @4.5 back down to 3.3 (stock) and am having no issues. As Sinfulblade mentioned, seems as though their AA doesn't work well with OC'd CPUs - which is really a bummer that this game can't work correctly with.

I found forcing AA through Nvidia Inspector causes no AA issues with my overclocked CPU (i7 2600K @4.6GHz).

Maybe it's just if you leave it at the ingame setting (which is simply an on/off toggle really).

Incidentally, OP's suggestion didn't make any difference for me.

This friggin' engine is fail, about ready to give up hope it'll ever work - every patch they do makes game work worse.

CAUTION: DO NOT LOAD SWTOR UNLESS YOU HAVE AFTER-MARKET COOLING INSTALLED!!

Seems to have worked. Thank you.

Looks like my video card is fried due to not having a frame rate cap after patch.

Awesome fix! No more random load screens! Thank you so much!

On a side note, I tried to spread the word in game, but everyone thinks I am some gold farmer trying to send a link to a malware sight or something. So unfortunately, their paranoia will keep them annoyed with this bug.

So, what I did was go to my settings folder (C:\Users\Jae\AppData\Local\SWTOR\swtor\settings), do not paste this into your search bar, because it has my name in it, but follow a similar path. Take your client_settings.ini and Graphics_mirror.ini files out of that folder and move them to the desktop (in case this doesn't work). Then load the game normally, and at the character selection screen, bring up your graphic settings and change them as you desire and apply. Then spawn in.
My fps went right back to where I had managed to get them pre-1.1 after this short process. Hope it helps someone else.

Alright, I go to c:\Users\myname\appdata\local and in the local folder is only a temp folder, no SWTOR folder. Any ideas?

I am running win7

Also, I strongly suggest the Devs sticky this until a fix is done. It took me *FOREVER* to find this link.

It was not in the exact location he showed on my PC, but I did manage to find the folder by looking around. Mine was in C:/Documents and Settings/*my name*/Local Settings/Application Data/SWTOR/swtor/settings
