This is with the game SWTOR and the support forums there and Bioware Tech support said I had to come here for help
Bioware says its not their problem but a driver issue... Note that the game was fin on this computer under windows 8.1 (aside from a problem that was "fixed" by setting the shader to low in the games graphic options)
Is there anything i can do other than wait for an new driver to be released? Is there a beta driver that I can try to see if it fixes the problem?
I just found a slightly newer driver
64bit - win64_15407.4279.exe
but the problem remains exactly the same as before 3 restarts of the driver and then the driver is locked out
The full thread on the isssue can be seen at
http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=837679 STAR WARS: The Old Republic - After Win 10 UD from 8.1 fails to launch and BSD of VIDEO_TDR FAILURE (idgkmd64.sys)
That thread title was from the original problem and was seen after login to Char select I then changed the driver that Windows 10 install provided which I think was older than the the one I have been working with this weekend
BSD with VIDEO_TDR FAILURE (idgkmd64.sys) the online search on this problem msg. said to be sure video drivers are up to date so I ran the Intel driver update utility and installed the Intel Iris Graphics 5100 driver version 10.18.15.4256 of 7/17/2015
and I get the
"The best driver software for your device is already installed"
" Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date"
I then got and ran Intel(R) Driver Update Utility 2.2 and installed again and it seems to be the same one though the date is now 08/05/2015
as you can see here
Version: 15.40.4.64.4256 (Previously Released)
Date: 08/05/2015
Size: 175.08 MB
Language: English
Operating Systems: Windows® 10, 64-bit
All of this caused the original BSD error outlined above to what it now does as outlined below
a problem is seen when I hit play next to a char name at char select or if I enter the game and then enter a conversation with a NPC i get what you see below noth this is on a Win 10 machine not win 8(R) as the msg states I append a fresh DXdiag at the end of this msg

Please note that the error msg are calling out a display driver for Windows 8(R) even though this is on a windows 10 64 computer. Could there be parts of the windows 8 driver that failed to be removed when the computer was changed from 8.1 64 to 10 64?
is there any hope of a fix for this? SWTOR was fine on this computer under Win 8.1 64 except the shader setting had to be set to Low.
