      Yeah, but it is actually a lot more complicated and before I go type out a whole essay again, you might find this link interesting that will explain why you have to re-install the distribution and also the effect this have on network packets etc etc. All in all why it plays such a huge part in things people see go wrong with their BOT (BW) and blaming the BW devs when it is actually not. hah and other times (like now) I *DO* blame the devs for changing things server side and BW not working as it should! :p
      That aside, if you are interested you can google with keywords swtor, directx9 and win10. Aside from that, if you are unfortunate enough to have a more modern graphics card as in my case the Nvidea 980, you will more than likely have to tweak those drivers as well, since the latest Win10 drivers also allocates and use memory different which also plays havoc with BW. Aaaarg lol

      Anyway - link as promised:
      https://xnagamedeveloper.wordpress.com/2012/08/23/swtor-and-graphics-part-2/

      And Wired, yes swtor checks and sees the new Win10 DirectX simulation as "true" and installs a couple of things but it is not the whole story.

      Please do not miss out on the free upgrade because of issues with BW though. :) Esp. since it does seem to work for some people, and if it does not work let's just blame the devs for not fixing shoddy MS coding as well as SWTOR coding....man, Aevitas really needs to get his act together. Hahaha
      Is it not only available for a short time and after that you have to buy the upgrade? Not sure about this tbh. But, your suggestion of dual booting might be an option as well, or you can install in a VMware environment and not be like me hahaha
      Wow, we have gone way off topic but it is your thread though, and I am thinking of levelling yet another toon in order to try and help you and Cryo out except writing profiles is way above me head. But I can dump stuff at least! :))

      Upgrade is available for 1 year, you have to take advantage of it within that 1 year to get the license for life otherwise you would have to pay approx. $130 for it.

      Woot. TY Wired - that is great to know. Michael is way within his safe 6 months period then. Bah, wish I was not so quick on that trigger now. But otoh it is a pretty nice OS overall compared to...er..compared to the Commodore 64 I guess <ducks>

      You are a Sentinel, and I don't think he has a class quest only for Knights yet?
      Since I am too lazy to edit right now, you can try this one and edit out all the other classes if you want.

      View attachment [R - Dark] 17-22 Taris.xml

      This might not even work since I cannot test right now:

      Which Taris profile are you trying to run? (upload plz or link)

      Your log states errors with the</quest> syntax not matching and that is an easy fix

      What all is involved in removing the fat from Kick's to make the Class quest only profiles?

      ok use Notepad++ and clear out all quest not related to the class you currently are leveling.

      both Kicks ans cryos have written at each quest in the profile which class it is for and if no class is mentioned then is just random/normal quest that you can just remove.

      Funny thing happend ... I let the upgrade to win10 app run and download the software just to have it ready for whenever I felt like taking the jump, but I must have missed something cause suddenly windodws update have installed the software and told me that within 3 days the computer would restart and install win10 *lol* So I thought what the heck and let it do it ... Was a smooth transition and only thing I've done so far is to run the update tool from win10 and let Nvidia Experience update the driver for my 980 GTX (cause before that framerate was a max 1-2 in both SWTOR and WoW) and to my big suprise BW runs with no problems whatsoever ... just as smooth as before and I didnt need to tweak anything :)

      Just wanted to share that info ...my theory = upgrade to WIN10 and BW will run fine / Clean installation (hdd wipe an so forth) of Win10 = tweaking arround with settings and missing files needed. (Personally I've always been a fan og 100% clean OS installations).

      Have a nice day all - And I hope you guys have better weather than we have in Copenhagen atm.
