Any way to make SWToR look like a 2012 game?

Just look at this blurred out mess. I don't know how anyone can stand it.

I find it idiotic that people actually complain about the graphics...the game looks amazing.

Several tips:
#1 Run the game in Win XP SP3 compatability mode, and/or turn off Aero.
#2 Set lower draw distance in your .ini file.
#3 Turn bloom on, and shadows off.
#4 Download Nvidia Inspector and set FSAA to STALKER compatability.
#5 In Inspector, set LOD to -3.

#6 Have fun!

#5 In Inspector, set LOD to -3.

sarcasm doesn't generally work in print...

or does it ?

Becose geting it all ready for release takes time too and SWTOR needed to be released... The amount of textures this game has is just unimaginable. Now I know thats no defence when talking about quality control, but that probably is the real reason. Thay had textures ready from few years back and investors said it was ready.

Vharna, see this SS. Where can I change the actual value to -2.5 or -3 etc? It only gives me a dropdown arrow to change it from ON / OFF / DEFAULT.

In that case it doesnt since the image really is a blurred out mess

Agreed but I also find that to be a major problem. Why did BW force the game to come out before it was ready? Because EA wanted them to? They should learn a thing or two from Blizzard and realize that a bad launch can destroy your game. Blizzard just delayed D3s launch based off of internal and closed beta testing.

That's interesting. What GPU are you using?

Right above that setting on my menu I have another section.

Texture Filtering - LOD bias (DX9)

This is what allows me to set it to -2.5 or whatever the video recommended. You seem to be using the up to date version so I don't know why mine has more options. Does turning on Ambient occlusion do anything? I figured it would just cause and enormous FPS hit if it did in fact do anything.



I find it equally disturbing that people are just so quick to glance over obvious inadequacies. It's fine to think the game looks good (I'm with you here) but there are problems. Textures being a huge one and Bioware is just kind of sitting on them for some really stupid reasons.
