I turned off shadows. Its a little better. Will keep playing to see if stutters are stil there.

Yes but I am not playing a youtube video at the same time SWTOR is running.

Its not lag. The game runs choppy when moving around. My fps is 50-60 but still when I climbing a hill or just running around on Tython, the game has a stutter to it. There is only like 15 people on Tython too.

I just resubbed after taking a break for about a year and a half. I find that the game still stutters, has hiccups when running my character around. And its not that I have a crappy PC. My specs are AMD FX 6 core 3.4ghz, HD 6870 card, 8gb ram, windows 7 ultimate. And my fps sits around 40-50 on Tython so I dont think its the graphic settings. Is it the game engine that cant be fixed? The stuttering is annoying. Wish the game ran smooth like WoW.

Not just load screens, but the game doesnt run smooth like WoW. This is another deal breaker for me. And I have a high end pc.

Its not the 10 second wait, its the fact that there is an immersion breaking loading screen there.

Not really. In WoW, you can explore Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor without a loading screen. And that one screen you get when traversing from one continent to the other is not really a loading screen, takes only 3 seconds. What I'm saying is, SWTOR should of been more seamless like WoW. Every single planet has a loading screen. That is the equivalent of every zone in WoW having a load screen at the borders lol.

1 loading screen to board ship, 1 more to get off ship. I don't like that one bit.

It's not the load times. Its the fact that there are so many loading screens at every corner. Would of been better if we could freely roam in space and travel planet to planet with 0 loading screens.

When I log on, I que for a wz and play a few then log out. I never leave the fleet to quest or anything. And I really want to go out and explore but the loading screens are immersion breaking, and I think the planets are just way to big. You never see other players out there. I think maybe they should of made the planets smaller and left some room for later, make like part of the planet high lvl or something so we can come back to it I don't know.

Every mmo is linear

What about the secret space project? Do you really think they are working on a secret space project?

When did the graphics change? I see no difference

no wonder. you have 4 wide toasting slots those are usually for government security pc's. don't know how you got your hands on them.

My guess, the game engine is terrible? I have a high end pc and get low fps in wz's and fleet.
