Terrible FPS issues and ability lag in Warzones.

My FPS doesn't suffer that badly in warzones, but my ability lag is quite bad.

Considering I play Sniper, that really poses a problem. If I get knocked out of cover I'm looking at around 4 seconds before I finally get my cover back and can activate my first ability due to the activation delay. In PvE, it takes half that time to get back into the fight.

And don't get me started on how many times I've missed an interrupt because of the activation delay.

I'm confident that they'll fix the issue, but in the meantime it really messes with cover-based classes.

70-80 fps ANYWHERE else, under 20 in warzones.

wish I could get 20 fps in wz, lucky when I see 10. I was going to buy new video cards but seeing that the same cards I was planning on buying are having the exact same issues does not encourage me at all.

It's the biggest issue in the game tbh. People complaining about RNG loot or class imbalance are wanting tweaks, people with this issue can't play the game.
Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of your opponent's fate.

My FPS is over 50+ everywhere except fleet and warzones. I average about 15-25 there which is unacceptable. I can even bet my PC is in the top 20 ish percent of systems. That means the majority is getting worse FPS then me. FIX IT or watch your game wither away and die.
Im running about the same system as you, only difference is that I got a 6970 and I get crap fps as well, 6-15 fps in the Imperial Fleet and 6-17 fps in WZ. This is unacceptable...fix it quick or you are going to loose most of your pvprs

this may be a coincidence on both accounts but, Im convinced this is a server related or connection routing issue, a friend told me that he switched to a server and the warzone lag got better, and since hes from my country I decided to try aswell.
and from all the games I did so far, it IS much better, its not unplayable anymore, just very anoying most of the time still.

I really want to know bioware is on top of this and a solution is coming soon.

Agreed OP, I have little to no lag anywhere else until I get into a WZ then I can barely function, its like playing on an etch-a-sketch. I only get lag in actual combat though which leads me to believe that the problem has to do with all the 'fancy' parries and blaster bolt deflections, which are fine for pve, but just seem rather unnecessary in a large PvP setting.
Nothing ever lasts forever. And that's how its gonna stay.
