Displaylink update causing BSOD in games

[DarkKnight]

I picked up a GTX 670 today. Did a clean install of Nvidia drivers & a clean install of DL 7.2 software. Still getting a BSOD when launching SWTOR. I posted logs, I've updated drivers, can I at least get an acknowledgement of if this is being looked into, or I should avoid purchasing products relying on displaylink in the future?

I've got a repro on my son's PC (and had to uninstall our SW!). Seems like they're doing some quite hacky things as you need admin privileges to run the game. We'll try and get to the bottom of it.

Thank you so much Dan, I was getting to my wits end over this. There are quite a few players on the SWTOR forums that have this issue and just uninstalled their DL devices. If you guys are able to get it resolved, I'll cross post it over there so others are aware of the fix.

As to SWTORs hacky engine, it does not surprise me at all. They took a lot of shortcuts in making the game.

Hey guys, been a couple weeks, just checking in if you've narrowed down the problem or discovered a workaround.

Thank you.

Yes - we have found the problem and should have a fix in our next release.

That's great news!

What was wrong, if you don't mind my asking?

Can you predict when the new driver version will be published?
Am waiting handwringing for it's release :-)

A Nightly-Build or Beta would be fine too. I think here are some people willing to test for you on different hardware/software sets and give feedback.

Not to sound like an ass, but reread the entire topic instead of skipping to the end. What you've said makes no sense given what else has been said.
