I'm a Star Wars SWTOR Fanboi N even I can admit, there's a lot of work to be done. You're not going crazy, they need better coding. I've got a fantastic computer and still there is lag and loading issues here. Is it all bad coding? All from a engine that needs work? Is it a poor server structure? Who knows, maybe all 3 but it can be fixed eventually. Doesn't mean it's your computers fault. Relax, have a sammich.

Part of the issue is that Bioware never said it had anything to do with machines not being powerful enough, simply that it had to do with specific machines - but people with a poor understanding of how this stuff works don't understand that system power isn't the only thing at play insofar as system-side contribution to performance issues are concerned.

meh, just stop it you two. Your both right on different levels. The coding issues will effect different operating systems differently and the game needs improvements. end story.

The coding issues will effect different operating systems differently and the game needs improvements. end story. Some of it might not even be coding "issues". It's just a fact that correct code can have different behaviour on different systems - for example, if a graphics card manufacturer deviates from the specifications of the card type in terms of, say, memory access this can cause issues. Normally, abstraction gets you around this, but engine code is by necessity very low level (that is, closer to the hardware) - which is where that can present more problems. An interaction effect CANNOT be accurately summed up as "coding issues" - it is far more complex than that.

THIS is exactly why I made this, I asked if ANYONE was getting great FPS when there is a big group of people fight? ANYONE
