Have they not implemented the *High* resolution textures yet?

I mean literally, nothing happens, where as loading take's place switching from Low - Medium.
High res textures disappeared right before the weekend beta build.

I've just noticed that to, going from medium to high does absolutely nothing. Baffling. Have Bioware said anything about this?

Question, what cards are people running on that's having this texture problem? Heard a few hints that it might be ATI card related. Running a 5870 myself.

The art style is good, but there are A LOT of areas / clothing with poor texture quality, sadly.
Hidden Beks -> Nightmare Lands -> The Red Eclipse

This has been the trend with all games associated with LucasFilm since forever. Always a generation behind technically.

It happens on both, Nvidia and ATI. GTX 470 here and a friend with a GTX 285 has the problem as well. It seems more likely an innate restriction in the client than a random bug.

Anyone who played the beta weekend will tell you that textures should be considerably better. As I said in a previous post I was actually impressed with the game visually that weekend, textures were sharp and rather nice.

It's possible that BW have somewhere restricted graphical options for launch, though that would surely affect everyone. Still, they better fix this because it is frustrating. But I can guarantee any doubters that this isn't how SWTOR should look texture wise.

Meh. Graphics don't bother me much (or at all). then again, I'm one of those poor fools who wishes graphics never went past the infinity engine. (so we could have MOAR BALDURS GATE!) MOAAAR BALDURS GATE BIOWARE!! BRING US MOOAAR!

Sorry but your completly wrong. All the graphics are loaded from your HDD and have no effect on lag at all. As in lag i mean your ping, time to comunicate with the server.

If your getting FPS lag low framerate then your computer is the problem.

You are right in saying sending the graphics over the internet would cause massive bandwidth issues, but this is not the case and just silly.

MMOs have low graphical quality because they are designed to appeal to a wide variety of player with a wide variety of rig quality.

that's why MMO graphics are low. they don't want anyone's machine keeping them from sitting in the queues.

which is also why i will never understand people who complain about graphics in an MMO. you shouldn't be playing MMOs for the visuals.
