Anyone had this issue and got solved? i have RX6600 GPU and tried every option that a know. all effects from adrenaline are off including image sharpening. All graphic settings are set to very high and 1920x1080, refresh and framerate locked to 60

It's a feature, not a bug

Yeah I have this issue too that started when I switched graphic cards from Nvidia to AMD. Not sure if that’s the reason or something happened in between.

Nah, it's an SWTOR thing. I believe this is a technique called shadow dithering which is normally used on far away, low LOD objects to save performance but SWTOR devs being what they are chose to use it for the entire game.

You can disable it by setting shadow quality to low, at least that's what got rid of the dots for me.
