Optimization Truth: It was NEVER my computer?

That is virtually impossible with a single threaded game. It will only run the game on 1 (ONE) processor.

So either your testing is wrong or you have a processor that does what no one else's can do. (I doubt this)

Your right it is simple.. But it isn't that simple.. Making the claim that my computer runs this game will so it should run SWTOR, is comparing apples to oranges at the very least.. You have also not invalidated a single point..

GW2 and this game run on completely different game engines.. Neither of which do the same thing or use the same methods to get things done.. So it is useless and lame to say my computer runs GW2 good so it should run SWTOR good.. That is simply the facts..

Now I am not going to sit here and get into a debate over what game engine is better.. That would be a useless effort.. I will say, and I have said it before.. There are people that are currently playing SWTOR that get excellent game performance.. Perhaps you should look at what is different between their computer and yours.. QQ about Bioware or any other gaming manufacturer and demanding that they fix your problems isn't going to get anything solved.. We all run the same version of the game.. Why do some people have performance issues, while others do not??

How about we spend less time trying to compare apples and oranges.. That should be simple enough..

I think you forgot few other possibilities: 1. you are wrong when you claim it is impossible (even virtually). 2. It is not single threaded.

Lol, SWTOR already runs two instances... They could just run more! Walah! Multithreading.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, and open up task manager while playing.

Specifically, playing SWTOR.

Really how much software have you written?
I am a retired programmer. Mostly drivers and device access in machine language.

Well, I'm lucky. I have a computer that runs this game very well. It is a high end system with dual graphics etc. etc. I'm also running the game on my laptop and older system not designed for gaming and it runs fine after I tweaked down the graphics a bit (turn off grass, tress etc.)

So before we start discussing specs, I'd like to know the specs of your system OP. It is highly relevant to this discussion.
