My specs are:
Intel i7 - Quad Core
Geforce GT 540m w/ 1.5 GB memory
4GB DDR3 RAM
750 GB HDD

I can run Dragon Age on full, Dragon Age 2 on medium, Crysis 2 on medium, and WoW on full (ultra)..... Yet when I log in to this game, the game is barely playable fps-wise when I have all my settings on medium. High is too damn laggy.

These graphics are worse than Dragon Age, Crysis, and even Rift.... but I can run high on all of the games.... yet I can barely run this game on medium... Weird.

Also, I'd like to point out that I'm on a laptop. (as you can tell with the "540m" graphics card). I've been feeling the heat coming off my graphics card and processor when playing this game. Every other game makes the underside warm. This game last night made it hot enough to make the table surface considerably hot. That's not normal, and no it's not issues on my end. Again, this is proof that the game client is eating away resources and apparently the code has made this game very bulky and resource-consuming. But of course, I don't know anything, I mean its not like I'm a programmer or anything. /sarcasm

Also, I've been looking at the client's processes in my Task Manager.. Here's what I see:

swtor.exe *32 | CPU: 11 | Memory: 1,001,968 K
swtor.exe *32 | CPU: 02 | Memory: 485,176 K

Hmm, first off the memory usage is off the freakin charts. Secondly, where are there TWO processes? My CPU Usage is spiking tremendously and my Memory usage is up to 3.02 GB out of 4.00 GB....

Do NOT sit here and tell me I'm ignorant and stupid enough to not know what I'm doing. It's on the client's side, not... the... USER.

TL;DR I'm reporting the same problem and I agree with OP
Your specs are good.... Did you defrag since patch?

The patches were rushed and not tested...there are conflicts in loading or confirming keys...the programmers need to do the job right....not rushed because of holidays..



First 2 weeks are make or break..... This game rocks but if people cant load then it's fail

They were rushed. The patches in the forums fix some minute bugs in gameplay... balance issues, etc. That's it. No talk of performance fixes, etc.

No I didn't defrag since then, but it shouldn't make this big of a difference in performance. These next few weeks/months will be tough on the devs and the players alike. I'm staying simply because the potential for this game is limitless.

They did great but pvp lacks challenge and reason...


Biggest issue is loading and performance... Personally I think they should roll back to the last beta weekend version of the game....it worked and at launch the game was fine...it's the patches that broke the game for people...

Ill give them a month to fix it or I'll give up..... I really hope they fix it because you are right and the game and story is limitless....

People just get tired by all the whining here.

If you have a pc which is from 2011, then the game will run smooth. If you got a pc or even a laptop from 2004 then it wont.

Its not the fault of BW, that some people ignore the development in hardware.

Yes the game is not perfectly coded, I agree with you - but if you got a good pc and a little bit of knowledge how to maintain it, then you wont have any trouble.

Ask at the forums if you dont know how, but stop the flame war´s.

I've recently started having performance issues as well. Core i7, 8GB of RAM, and a GTX580. There is no reason I should be getting below 60fps. Poorly optimized client.

I've had one CTD during space missions. Game seems to generally play fine, but every now and then FPS will drop under 30 for no apparent reason. Usually it's at or over 100. Running an OCed 5870, a Phenom II x4 965 @ 3.7ghz, 16BGs of ram. Even when FPS drops, the game is never taking up more than a small fraction of my processing power or memory, so I'm really not sure what's causing it.

I've actually had the exact opposite thing happen since the last patch. I was having stuttering problems, especially in the imperial fleet, and just generally low fps. After the patch, boom, my fps shoots way way up and the game is smooth as silk. Was having problems running it at 2x MSAA, now I can run it at 8x no problem. I have no idea what they did, but I'm grateful.

Ignore the trolls guys, there the same ones in most topics.

End of the day these problems exist for ALOT of players and that is fact, you can dney it all you like and bioware can be silent all they like, they just will lose those players as subscribers....

There are major performance issues with the client and its using up far more resources than it should, fact....

Has Bioware bothered to communicate anything about it? No, they have stayed silent and not said anything about it.

For those having no problems well good for you, there are still a large amount of players with these issues and please respect the fact its the swtor client causing these issues, nothing else.....

Getting 1-10 fps on computers than can run this game 10 x over while the client is soaking up well over 4+ GB of ram to run and overheating GPU's causing them to fry on low settings with everything off and 800x600 res....... is ridiculous.

Keep trolling trolls, still waiting on bioware to give us any or some sort of communication about this or to even admit it, they should be ashamed.

...and yet, I have a similar system, except with an AMD 6600 series, and am having zero troubles. Is this really Bioware's fault?

Neither me nor 200% of players I play with have any problems. I can alt+tab and come back with no issues, I run at 1080p all maxed out and 4x AA forced through Catalyst, between 30 and 60 FPS (I have V-Sync on, probably would go higher). The only thing I experienced is that when you quit the game, it takes a bit to unload from memory but for the rest everything perfect

Check your drivers, upgrade your PC, dunno

But generalizations like the OP does are a bit ridiculous
