Your technology needs help... lots of help... lots and LOTS of help. :(

It is actually pretty good. If it weren't for the loading times, I'd go there more than once a week.

I am curious, do you even know what he stated.
* If you don't, why do you even bother posting?

How do you know he is not a game designer. How about refuting his assertions with some factually based information?

Disagree? Dispute with claims of fact.

The rest is pages of spam.

No, smart people want to get better. If a treatment is the correct treatment the qualifications of the person suggesting it aren't relevant.

If you want to argue with the OP's suggested treatment for this disease and why it is not the appropriate one then that would be valid. Dismissing his suggestions because you don't believe he is a game designer is the absolute definition of Ad Hominem. You are the one that looks silly in this thread because you are using bad logic.

He does not look silly because his claim of expertise seems reasonable given his very apt diagnosis.

I actually get really good FPS on around Medium Settings with Shadows Off. For some reason Shadows really up the Bang and to be honest it's not a whole lot of reward. It's not like my Computer is the greatest either. 965 AMD 4 Core, 4 GB Ram, 250 Nvidia. What I do see is long loading times and it's a long enough loading time for me to go down stairs, take a whiz, and come back upstairs... so at least a minute to 2 minutes long.
It's a big enough of a problem that I'm thinking of getting an SSD Drive and a Card to see if that lowers the loading times... Maybe Upgrading to 16GB of RAM and making a RAM Drive to see if that makes the problem better.
One thing I do know is that the Loading Times are a problem. It's the biggest problem I see with this game and it's one that happens over and over again. I don't think there would be one person who would complain about a faster loading time.
So, Thank You the person who made this thread. You said in finer detail than I ever could about the biggest problem I have with this game.

I installed a 60GB SSD (for games) and the performance for this game was massivily improved 3-4X, i only have an ati (6850) not 6950 card typo sorry, thats almost 2 years old and im getting 60+fps average in Full HD, on my core i5 clocked to 4.5Ghz.
My friend has a geforce 260 maxcore in sli, and 2 x 160GB 10k rpm raptors which he got from ebay, this is 3 year old hard disk pair and graphics is almost ssd quick running this game with at least a 2 X increase over a single 7.2k drive and card.
DDR3 memory is also very cheap. I didnt find much difference from upgrading from 8GB to 16GB however, the game simply dosnt seem to use it.

My point is that any decent gaming pc sold today, with an SSD, should be smooth, any high speced pc in the last few 2 years with an ssd upgrade and a good graphics card would also be smooth.

This game looks very very nice for an mmo. I love the high res textures.

If your pc can't run this smooth, then upgrade because your pc is behind the technology curve.

120GB SSD drives are now less than £100 quid, DDR 3 memory has never been cheaper.

Or you're in Ilum.

Lordy. Didn't read the OP, I take it.

Let me summarize: It doesn't matter how great your PC specs are or how recent it is, no amount of PC specs can "fix" poorly created code. It can minimize it but the point is, you shouldn't have to resort to such measures. Most of the poor loading times and graphical hiccups happen due to this poor coding - the way the client is designed to obtain information regarding assets around it - and will happen on any system.

Given that the 6900 series debuted at the very end of 2010, you must have pretty amazing contacts inside the industry to have one almost two years old.

99% of the time, my PC has no problem maxing this game. But jump onto a packed fleet, or walk into a smoke-filled cave on Korriban, and the game ***** itself. As simple as that.

I've got a number of games that look significantly better yet never have any of the performance issues of this game.

As an additional gripe, who's bright idea was it to make the Black Hole into a separate area only accessible by a shuttle from Corellia? If I want to get to it, I have to load Corellia just so I can travel a tiny distance, then load again. I truly pity the people without SSDs. It's bad enough with.
