I am playing the beta for the first time this weekend. Taking a break from Skyrim while AMD fixes their drivers for the game.
I finally get logged in and playing SWTOR, but all the shadows are flickering. So I Google this and find this precious gem in the patch notes.
"ATI video cards may experience some graphical inconsistencies such as blank icons (separate from the known issue above), blank character portraits, or flickering shadows."
Of course. Anyway, turning off the shadows completely gets rid of the flickering (and the shadows).

Looks like I have way less issues with my HD6870 than the nVidia people - all whines about performance I see are from people using nVidia graphic boards. My game is smooth as silk.
I play with everything maxed out (including shadows).
Go figure.

That was helpful information. Since your shadows were fine, I decided to try disabling Crossfire. And voila. My shadow problems are gone.
Fortunately this game seems to run perfectly fine on a single 6950 on my 30 inch monitor with everything maxed out (sadly no AA support yet). So I can live with this.  |

I do miss the AA support, but everything is maxed out fine on my gtx470 at 1920x1200.

Overriding AA in CCC actually works with this game. So I got 8xAA (8xEQAA was a bit too much to handle) enabled and looking better. Used D3DOverrider to force V-Sync on (setting in game isn't working).
So now it's looking pretty good.

I can't over ride AA with the nVidia drivers.

I survived to the end and got nothing out of it, but hey.

Well think I'm done with this. I had no idea it would be so linear. Just walking down a path being spoon fed with really no actual choices. Kinda feels like Warhammer Online in space.

It's like Dragon Age or any other Bioware RPG, with MMO elements. The chat system is so rudimentary though, it feels like the MMO elements were added after the fact.
All the same, tired of WoW means willing to play for a while.

I like it. It's good. Definitely better than Rift and the other failures released these last years. And to my surprise, playing a Consular really feels like "Star Wars".
I like the story and voice overs too.
