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

I can't comment on whether or not the original poster knows their stuff, even if they sound like they do. I'm no techie or game designer. But I know one thing and agree with the main point of their post.

I love this game.

I have NO meaningful issues with content, gameplay, story, or anything else, content wise. Bioware has done an awesome job, and continues to do so.

The only consistent issue I have is the games performance. This has got to be the games greatest hurdle, and the only one I would ask for them to prioritize for the sake of their devoted players (and many more who could potentially come, but are barred by this hurdle.)

If they aren't prioritizing this already, here's to hoping they do!

Your computer sucks. How is that their fault. I mean, I'm running a 5 to 6 year old machine with 3 gig of usable ram and I'm not experiencing this at all, nor have I heard of this from anyone. I'm also leading 8 man raids with zero lag, zero delays, zero problems. My loading screens, except for Quesh, take a matter of 10 seconds or less, to the point where I cannot believe that people will actually complain so much about something that one may experience maybe once or twice a day while visiting a new planet. The game closes in about 10 seconds for me also.

Maybe it is you, just as that purple color you are using makes it difficult for people to read your posts. ;p

Well, maybe in the eyes of computer geeks that like to examine the most minute intricacies of the equipment and software they are using like a bunch of gear heads standing around a 1968 Road Runner marveling at the chrome valve covers for hours on end, but I'm guessing that those of us that log on, play the game, and log off could care less what engine they are using.

I'm on a five year old machine. I leveled with no problems, I'm leading our raids with no problems, my loading times are insignificant. The game is fun. I could care less what's under the hood. lol

In fact, it's even worse.

Playing with two 560 GTX ti OC SLi on a Xeon 8core with SATA Raid 0 video editing hard disks at work and sometimes at home on a mediocre Laptop quadcore i5 with some nvidia mobile card.

I was waiting for a post like this!

Question: Are they able to revamp the engine to live up to today´s standards?

The poster of the above comment has no official affiliation with Bioware, Electronic Arts, or its' affiliate's or contractors.

Any indication that such an affiliation exists and that the a fore mentioned non existent affiliation is in any way, shape, or form the reason for the poster's glowingly positive opinion of Star Wars The Old Republic(TM), Bioware, Electronic Arts, or it's affiliate's is baseless and actionable slander.

I laugh at the guys saying they've got no problems on planets, fleet or in pve in general. obviously they've never participated in an ilum zergfest or a warzone. 80% of the performance problems are ocurring in pvp environments.

I can tell you that there is not a single person out there with a rig that meets the recommended system requirements of this game that can play any warzone with more than 10/20/30 fps. you need a 2012 €1500 dollar rig to get acceptable performance in warzones and STILL your fps plummets down to 40 or less in heavy fighting.

IN WARZONES.

40v40 Ilum zerg fests? I have yet to see a person with more than 10 fps. I had around 2-5fps and insane stuttering on a 1yr old €1000 gaming machine.

are you still thinking everything is fine with swtor? try renaming the "swtor_main_art_fx_1.tor" file in your game\ASSETS folder, start the game and play a warzone. you'll have perfect performance. but you won't see any particle effects. so, how can some simple particle effects aka lightsabers, blaster pistol fire, spell effects etc cut the fps in half?
