This spit is infuriating at this point.
I looked past the warzone lag during early access because EVERYONE was complaining about it so I assumed that meant BW knew about and it would be fixed asap.
Been way too long for an issue like this to be going on. It's not beta anymore.
No way I could subscribe without functioning pvp.

I can max games with much higher requirements but enter a swtor warzone and it's stop motion.
It feels like a memory leak without the actual memory leak.
Doesn't feel like a card or processor issue I have ever had.
All I know is nothing I have done on my end has had any affect AT ALL.

Game looks like a pile of crap compared to Skyrim or BF3 too but it performs worse?
It just doesn't make any damn sense.

Would resubscribe if fixed now basically. I don't even have time for this in my free time.

Hello All,

I went from complete and utter nonsense to a smooth experience by doing the following:

===#1 - Modified client_settings.ini to look like this:

[Renderer]
D3DFullScreen = true
Height = 1050
NativeHeight = 1050
NativeWidth = 1680
TextureAnisotropy = 1
Width = 1400
WindowX = 0
WindowY = 0
MeshLODQuality = 0
VerticalSyncState = false
EnableBloom = false
TextureQuality = 1
UseMinSpecShaders = false
doShadows = false
PlantDensity = 1
AntiAliasingLevel = 8


[Game]
MoviesFolder = ..\..\Movies
SwtorRegKey = SOFTWARE\BioWare\Star Wars - The Old Republic


===#2 - Set Node Interleave to Auto (BIOS Advanced Memory options)

===#3 - I noticed a ton of disk reads at all manner of odd times, so I move the app from relatively slow SATA drives to absurdly fast SSD drives (striped pair). I am sure installing the game on any really fast HDD/SSD will help.


===#4 - Run game graphics at low quality during Warzone PvP (which really isn't)

I do not have a hugely fancy system - Tyan 2915 w/2xAMD 2212 Dual Core Cpu's, 16gb of pc 5300 mem, and a recent add GEFORCE GTX 560 ti.

Note that there was also some setting to make sure the GPU does certain work instead of the CPU's, but i forget what it was.


Anyway - all the instanced PvP was rather glorious without lag/weird fps....hope this helps others...


Good Hunting,

Ell

I'm upgrading my hardware to see if that resolves my FPS drops as well. After switching to the ATI 12.1 prerelease driver, I gained a lot of FPS in the Republic Fleet - but it's still down in Warzones.

In Alderaan Civil War I can stand around with 40 FPS in the Pre-Match room, run out with around 20 then it's down to 5-10 with 1 sec ability delay when the guns start fireing.

Huttball and the Bombing Run is pretty much just as laggy - giving me delay on every ability I got. If my new graphics card, motherboard and processor doesn't solve this problem - I'm unsubscribing.(even though I feel like unsubbing just because of the complete lack of costumer service. Can't say I've ever experienced this kind of treatment/lack of information before.)

Nerd Rage!! is what I spend most my time doing while attempting a warzone.
I find myself logging back into the big MMO just to have some PVP fun!
Don't make me buy the panda game just to pvp /cry.

However they do seem to have fixed Taris so maybe just maybe this is next in queue. I certainly hope so it's the biggest issue in the game ATM!
"can you make sword in box light sword so sword come out when opened? then if sword is back after sword, use light saber on box, and saber will be boxed after sword is out." Love it!

Having the same problem as the original poster, just trying to add to the amount of people who have this annoying problem.

My new computer died so I just bought a new graphics card for my old one and got this issue. Wow, it is horrible.

Having the same issue. Really hoping BW fixes it soon since I'm having a blast playing the rest of the game and would love to get in more PVP but I just get really frustrated after 2 or 3 matches due to the lag
