OK I'm not a jedi but I figured this would be the best place to post this. Since publish 18 i've been experiencing a problem where some visual effects, such as PSG animations and the force speed animation (red swirly thing?) are not displaying correctly at all. When someone wearing a PSG gets shot, instead of showing the cool looking green shield bubble type thing, I see a big transparent green square. This is the same with force speed. Instead of seeing the cool graphic/animation, all I see are 2 big transparent red squares, like the graphic is just broken or something. I have done a full scan and everything and I can't seem to fix this. My particle detail is all the way up so that's not the problem. I have not adjusted any settings in my video card settings and the only options that I mess around with in-game are the terrain settings. I only noticed this happening after publish 18 went into effect. My friend is also having this exact same problem, but I can't find any other people who are experiencing this. Anyone out there besides us?? I really really want this fixed, as it makes the game just look horrible and buggy. I will update with a screen shot soon so it is more clear what I am talking about. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!!

well it's the same for force speed i think, my jedi friend used it and i said hey that animation is broken too. he told me it was force speed. i don't know. all i do know is that my PSG animations and some of the jedi ones are severely messed up and i have no clue how to fix it. i have full scanned and everything and it's not my graphics card. my friend has the same problem as i do. it started after pub 18 and i thought it might be b/c i installed new drivers but he didn't and his animations are just like mine. big flat squares of color. this is very very annoying. can someone please help? MAYBE A CSR OR SOMETHING?!?!?! How do i contact a csr about this issue?

maybe they aren't because i play with almost max everything, including particle detail. and besides, why the hell would that make animation graphics turn into flat squares of nothingnes....
so, does anyone know how i can contact a CSR to get some help about this issue? it's very very disturbing when you see this in game. totally ruins everything because it's so damn ugly. makes me just want to quit and not play until it's fixed. so yea, how do i tell a CSR about this?

I thought it might be a driver problem but then I realized it was definitely a coding issue because everything was completely fine until the first time I logged in after publish 18. I downloaded the update and as soon as I logged in I was in the mining outpost on dant. The first thing I noticed was someone wearing a PSG getting shot and these big green squares were coming up. I installed the newest catalyst drivers that were just released to see if that would help but it did not. I have submitted a CSR ticket and hopefully I can get some help on this. If I do find a solution, probably will be in a week or more if I ever get a reply, I will post it here. If anyone has a solutionalready I would love some help, thanks.
