This is absolutely horrible, I've been getting 5-15 fps in warzones since launch and I have a GTX 570, a new i7 CPU and a SSD I'm running SWTOR on. This should NOT be happening. And then we have ****heads like James Ohlen telling us stuff like this:

James Ohlen -

"However, we know that it's important that there is a SMALLER group of people usually with LOWER END MACHINES that are having problems in some areas. And one of the most important things for us to grow our service is to continue to bring in more players, including those players who only have low-end machines."

I mean *** bioware. A smaller group of people with lower end machines? Just look at this thread, and for gods sake, post something about this issue that lets us now that you're aware of the FPS issues on HIGH END machines. Stop dodging this issue.

And seriously, a content patch before every major bug is out of the game?!

Which in reality is "at least 50% of the playerbase, regardless of machine."

Cool PR spin, bro, just what you need when your subs are already flocking away en masse.

I really don't care if they call my computer a low end machine if they fix the problem for a low end machine then my computer will run it even better than if they just focused on otherwise.

Personally if they fixed it to where the lowest end machine at minimum requirements could play the game without FPS issues I'll be happy because it will mean that my computer will run it even better.

But all and all I don't think the "machine" is the problem that needs to be fixed and when you took that quote was it distinctly about the fps issues or something else?


I don't put negative spins on things like you though

Im willing to give it a few more months, but if not much ahs improved by then, it'll be EXACTYL like WAR...killing a game off at the start leaving it to slowly trickle its lifeblood away over 2 years until theres nothnig more.

Diablo3 is coming soon, and if these hardcore pvpers are what they say they are, they will go there.

"Something else?" Sorry, what do you mean?
I just think that they should deal with this issue "face to face", not dodging it to make it seem like a low-priority problem.
You know, if I didn't have this problem prior to this statement from James, I wouldn't think of this issue as a big deal since he puts it in that way, but in reality it is.
That's really annoying, atleast for me.

+1

I find it pretty insulting that a lead person would try to spin it like it's "only" low end machines having issues. I can run any other game on high, but get 30-40fps in the open world, and pootastic fps and lag issues on the station and in pvp, when the game tells me I have a 60-80 ping. That's not even counting the abilities wasting GCD's without firing.

Man up Bioware and stop blaming your customers for your engine's poor optimization. Also, I'd agree that I didn't have FPS/lag issues in the few Huttball matches I played in beta. And yes, I have upgraded to ATI's 12.1 preview, didn't really help that much. I also have shadows off and all settings at low.

I just wish they would fix this already.

Valor rank 31 atm, playing through every Warzone at 5-15 FPS with ability delay as high as 4-5 seconds EVERY SINGLE GAME.

My specs are:
MSI GTX560i(just upgraded from Radeon HD 5800).
Q6600 2.4
8GB DDR2 Ram

I'll be upgrading my computer further next month - swapping out my Asus P5K Premium/WIFI-AP, P35, DDR2 motherboard with the ASUS P8Z68-V/GEN3, Socket-1155.
In addition I'll get the Intel® Core i5-2500K Processor and a SSD hardrive for Windows 7 & Swtor only.

If that doesn't fix the issue, I probably will stop subscribing. I just wish the devs would address this issue, as it is quite troublesome for many of us.
