Texture resolution.....

The textures are there as far as i know... they are just bugged to all hell and don't show up the way they're supposed to.

One thing is for sure... i will NOT be playing the game by this time next year if that issue is not fixed soonish.

I like Star Wars, i like SWTORs gameplay and story so far, i love MMOs... but as you stated in your first sentence all this can't make up for this graphical nightmare.

I doubt i'll play a game for an extended period of time, no matter how good the gameplay is, if i can hardly look at my own character without wanting to throw up.

Bioware doesn't care that we care about this issue.

Nor do 99% of the people playing the game.

You don't know that, how many times have they ever commented on threads like these? 9 times out of 10 they end up fixing the issue. It's clearly a bug, I'm sure they're working on it.

Hope you are right!

While the issue I had was a serious one in my opinion, I don't really see the point of moaning about the need for high resolution textures outside cut scenes. Sorry, but if your not going to play the game because of that then this game probably isn't for you. Don't get me wrong, I think Bioware will offer some sort of option in the future but the textures don't look bad at all outside cut scenes and are more then playable.

Finally got around to putting a few hours into the Jedi Knight and had an absolute blast now that my texture problem is solved. That performance problem I mentioned in the fix post is nowhere to be seen, I'm guessing it was caused by me alt-tabing the game. The art style really is rather beautiful, especially Typhon.

But as for high resolution textures, I get it. But honestly Bioware have more important things to fix right now. Have Bioware ever confirmed the much rumored high resolution textures. Whenever I've heard of them it's been in forums and such. Don't mean to attack anyone, but like I said the textures look fine as they are (if you don't have the issue I had).

That's not true, the only thing transfered is coordinates, there is no transfer of graphic. If you pick up the stream on low/med/high you will see that there is no difference in the traffic. That's handled on the client side.

If you want to throw around numbers, every single person I have spoken to in game dislikes the current texture quality. That's 100% of people disliking the current bugged "medium" textures.

Im relieved it only appears to be a bug since it's something that should be fixed fairly quickly. The sooner the better since I dislike playing a washed out blurry character that looks like it came from a 10 year old game. Give me the cut scene quality in game pls.

... why would it increase the internet trafic if all the graphic infomation is on youre hard-drive? I dont know of any MMO who sends out graphic infomation over the initernet, unless it is a browser based game.

EDIT: And about graphics, have to take a picture of my shadow when I get home. I have a 6950 with 2gb DDR5 memory. Evertying on max, my still my shadow is like a square box with muiltible squair boxes for arms and legs. 1st time I saw this it was like, wtf?
When I was standing in the shadow everything was ok, but in the sun?

Im kinda of a eye-kandy person. I LOVE to straw around watching on the beuitful senario around in the game. People can say that graphics is not par of a game, but IMO it is. It brings you in to the envirement.
If you dont care about the graphics, you could as vell just read a book.

As I said in several posts and on video High-Res textures are disabled, possibly due to be released before Christmas.
