Enough Bioware tell us whats going on with the client issues.......

There have been and still are issues with the client with some rigs.

I played the beta on an overclocked rig and had no issues and it ran as well as I could expect (old rig - hence the overlock). Got in EA and although the client ran fine it had dropped 20fps from the beta. Played it all day Saturday (14 hours), logged in on the Sunday and after a small update it Blue screened, ctd and was unplayable. I spent a few hours looking into it and it was definately 100% the client at fault. Left it, tried on Monday after work and after a small update it all worked again - I had done nothing between giving up and trying it again... That is/was a client problem. Still won't work with an overclock though as it originally did.

I'm running fine again now but I feel for the users that are struggling - THROUGH NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN.

Feel your pain infuriating when a game you buy has major problems had it many times over the years.

Best thing to do all those experiencing client or in game issues should post on the customer services if not done so already with full details of machine specifications.

Should be done in a specific format so developers can try and trace the possible issue, we just have to accept that these things happen BW cant get all hardware together over the passed 4 years and test each config so these problems will arise.

Processor=AMD Bulldozer 8 Core
Mother Board=ASUS Formula V
Ram=16GB Gskill 1600
Graphics=Geforce 570 GTX 2x sLi (include drivers being used)
Operating System=Windows 7 Professional 64bit (Patch level)
Other Software running= like antivirus, firewall, diskkeeper.

Details of when the crash happened and what you noticed as much information as possible BSOD code should be included and any event log errors.

Hopefully the root of the problem can be found soon so you can enjoy the game.

/facepalm Why oh god why would you buy a Bulldozer. /sigh

So, everyone that's having no troubles is a troll?

And you wonder why you're not getting more help with the issue.

EDIT: By the way, I've been getting 160 FPS everytime, all the time, max settings.

You still haven't posted your BSOD. The Stop error code will TELL YOU what the problem is.

BSOD = hardware/driver issue. The OS is built to handle a software crash because it's run in a different layer.

I have an i5 2500k clocked at 4.7Ghz, an ATI Radeon HD6950 2GB GPU with unlocked shaders and overclocked to be better than the HD6970, Asus P8p67 pro R3 motherboard, 8GB of CrucialX 1600mhz ram, X-Fi titanium sound card, with watercooling on the GPU and CPU, and I too am getting random FPS drops as I run around, it's especially annoying because the camera / mouse movement is tied to the FPS, so your camera swings around wildly because its speed changes with your FPS.

All I see is the word "overclock" being used to extremes followed by "fps drops" with no mention of voltages or what your PSU is. Might want to start there. Prime95 and a good burn-in.

I recently found a bad memory stick in my system. I had 16 gigs, and a huge library of games, including Battlefield 3, Call of Duty, etc.

Anyway, one particular game was trying to use some of the memory on the bad stick, when none of the others were. I thought it was the game. After a memtest though, I discovered the ram was bad and took it out. I'm down to 12 gigs now, but everything is fine.

do you think with my kind of hardware I wouldn't know enough to have a suitable PSU? I have a corsair HX-750w PSU, and my overclocks are rock solid stable

I can also play BF3 on maximum settings without issue, which is arguably a more demanding game than SWTOR (or at least, it should be, all things being equal)

Except all things are not equal. By all accounts you technically have a better PC than me, though idk what your HDD situation is, yet I've yet to experience any "FPS drops."
