Well I went from 5-7 fps to 30-40 instantly and the ability lag is a hell of a lot better at 30-40 fps then 5-7 fps.

my fps went up marginally, but i was already 30+. ability lag is still maddening. i respeced to healer because i can't run my position attacks with a ~1 sec delay on my abilities

I think that'll just have to be something Bioware fixes on their end. They've still got work to do on the engine.

canceled my account today.. its a sham that you have to but new components just to get the game to run then they wont refund your money when you more then meet the requirement and it still runs like crap.. fps in this game suck.
note to people looking for refunds, if you log into the game world and play at all you cant get your money back.

If this isnt fixed by the time GW2 or TERA is out, i give up. A pvper can only stall so long with killing things that cant even think(if your stupid i mean npcs...). This game was so perfect 1-10 and in beta...but its release now-there isnt an excuse for people with systems that should have no problem running the game having terrible fps everywhere(or like me, just in WZs) on low with shadows off trying every potential fix others have put out there. I used to love you bioware, but now you claim its our machines when it obviously isnt...I get the feeling EA forced you guys to make this a quick money grab off of box sales and a few subs.


Please Bioware...you're our only hope.

Contributing. I get 30-50 fps in game world. pvp I have 30-50 ms and about 3-4 second ability delay. I run on top of people use a power and it simply doesn't hit them. I also take a good 3 seconds to die.. I fight... die.. wait.. wait.. the message appears, I click it... wait wait.. and after that 15 second debacle i finally respawn.

As a JK, responsive skills are a MUST, I dont have ranged to compensate for lag.

I hope this gets fixed as pvp is presently infuriating.

Just did 2 warzones and think that'll be enough frustration for one night. Average around 50 FPS in the game world (with some oddball drops to the teens), but in the warzones I'm scorching along at 16 FPS with abilites that take an extra 2 seconds to go off.

Doesn't help I play an assassin, but even my force attacks that have a bit more than melee range often won't go off when they obviously should.

I play with everything on low or off.

It's actually getting worse for me. Today in Alderaan I was warping all over the place. I'm sure I was just as hard to target as I was able to target people.

Honestly it was a joke...makes me wonder if the patch being held back was a deliberate ploy by BW because they know it's not fixed.

Well I wont be resubbing...and I mean resubbing because I cancelled due to this weeks ago. I won't pay for another month just to see them fail at fixing this - and if you have these issues then don't fall for it either. Quit, and stay quit until it's fixed - don't tolerate this **** another month in the hope that they fix it.
