I didn't notice any improvement at all tbh. I tried it on this system: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T 3.2 Ghz with 10 Gigs of RAM. Haven't tried it on my new system cause it's running ok, but I honestly feel that this game's engine is what's holding 16m content back.

Awesome post.

 

This will get a sticky on the: SWTOR Open Source Community Spreadsheet Collection

• Miscellaneous Guide Links page.
  

 

This is exactly the kind of thing the collection is for. There are so many useful guides people have made for the game that gets unintentionally buried in normal Forum Parameters, and as a result people miss to opportunity to see. Spreadsheets allow for sort filter lists of useful links by Category and sub categories to allow for quick search of available content.

 

If people come across awesome guides like this please add it to the SWTOR Open Source Community Spreadsheet Collection in the appropriate link list:

• SWTOR Sources.
  
• Miscellaneous Guide Links
  
• Class - Guide Links.
  
• Crew Skill - Guide Links.
  

 

I will spot lite it on general chat when I log in and do my daily:

• NEWS BULLETIN: For the > "SWTOR Open Source Community Spreadsheet Collection":
  
• TIP OF THE DAY:
  

 

Thanks for posting this great work.

For some reason my client is updating every day after installing swtor unleashed. Is anyone experiencing this? I find it hard to believe we are getting this many updates. This does not seem to matter if I run the client in either retail or swtor unleashed mode.

 

No idea if this could be a problem, but do you use "remove and quit" option in unleashed app after playing? This should remove file links made by unleased and restore original files in swtor directory.

I am still using this. It has been great for Rishi and Yavin 4 but unfortunately even loading PvP assets does not fix the serious PvP performance issue.

 

Its still worth it to smooth out some of the game worlds but PvP isn't working properly whether you are using unleashed or not.

Tried it and gave it a week. Didn't help at all, so I removed it. Running 16 GB RAM.

Does anybody have an idea on what files has the pvp areas? :3

Any suggestions on how to get this to work on Windows 10? I get an error that flashes across my screen so fast that I can't take a screenshot. From what I can tell, it seems to be related to "%userprofile%\AppData\Local" folder no longer existing, or somehow hidden/ protected.

Same here.

 

Edit, after removing the swtorunleashed.xml file and have the app regenerate it, the problem went away.

I did a thread search, and saw nothing on this. I'm only semi-literate on these things, so if I missed something obvious in the error log, you're welcome (for all the pointing and laughing I created in you).

 

Until this morning, Unleashed ran fine. No patches, no crashes, between now and the last time Unleashed worked. Every time I try to run SWTOR Unleashed, I get this error:

I do see the ntdll.dll failure, and as far as I know, there's a pretty broad range of troubleshooting steps I could take to repair that issue. Everything else seems to be running fine, just swtor unleashed crashing on startup. At any rate, anyone know of a fast fix that applies here?

Is SWTOR Unleashed compatible with 3.2? Whenever I see new ziost missions or new ingame items they are simply listed as "[ ]" Along with I couldnt do Ziost on 3.2 because of no dialogue sound.

If this works and really improves performance, then why doesn't BW buy it from those guys and put it in the game, but with options in the preferences menu to turn it on or off, and other settings?

This program, to some extent, makes the above easier for the average user to do, but honestly it isn't that hard...

 

Using a RAM Drive:

You can do this yourself by making links to the files. The upside, no need to disable anything when updates happen, the program never knows the difference.

 

In fairness, this will make far more different to people who run off a hard drive, if you use a SSD it will make far less difference.

There is no need to buy it, if Bioware wanted to they could change the game around to use more system memory... but rarely do software companies bother.

 

All this is really doing is loading the files into memory and running them from there. This is something that Bioware could do on their own if they wanted to, but it would create another thing to test and validate and it only works if you have enough memory to load enough to matter, 8GB or more.

 

Buy a SSD, accomplishes a lot of the same thing for less trouble. Not as fast as this would be, but it helps a lot.

Is this working with 3.2 yet?

Would also like to know. I'm running a GTX 660, 8 cores at 3.50 on Windows 8, 8 gigs of DDR3 and a Kingston SSD dedicated to a few games I play. I still get annoying little hitches in frame rate at random spots in the game despite an average of probably 50 FPS, but most annoying is the little stutter I get when mounting or dismounting. It's obvious there's a few little things in the game that can't be called on efficiently when loading in and out of the game so I'd be curious to see if this program would cure that.

Well I'm currently using SWTOR Unleashed, the only issue I had was that the game would often crash to desktop, seemingly because the Ramdisk is too small even with the +100mb option ticked on.

 

I added 200mb to the RamDriveSize in the SwtorUnleashed.xml file, opened SWTORUnleashed, clicked Remove and Quit, reopened SWTOR Unleashed and click SWTOR Unleashed to play as usual. It now works without crashing and the RAMDisk often has less than 200mb storage left. It might be enough to add just 25-50mb rather than 200mb.

Anyone else experiencing any crashes, when trying to load any characters as of 3.3 Togruta Update. Only characters, that seem to be spared crashes, are those currently not on a planet. (stronghold or such)

 

Please can anybody offer advice/help/fix/troubleshooting. This tool was really my saving grace with this AWFUL SOFTWARE of a game.

 

Edit: Well, after trimming down a bunch of assets that i use to load into the RAM drive, the game now loads, runs and plays fairly alright( I mean - No Worse than before.) Cant tell, if this Config does all i need ( its only about 4 GB total now - substantially less than before ), or BIoware actually fixed something like the god awful UI performance.

 

In either event, Unleashed can probably make the game unstable with certain assets loaded now, but i happily wont be unsubbing.

A better question would be, why do we have to jump through hoops to make the game run correctly.

You don't

 

Well...I don't...I've never had a single performance issue....ever

 

Lucky I guess?

Do I have to configurate ImDisk in any way or is it enough to install it and setup SWTOR Unleashed?

I was trying this out today and I didn't see much performance change when loading planets.

 

I've got 32GB of RAM in my computer to play with. I can probably safely dedicate about 20GB to it without much issue because I leave some VMs running almost constantly.

 

I can't quite select all, but are there some larger files that are frequently accessed that I could load in to improve planet load times? Right now I'm a fairly new player so I'm leveling a lot of characters meaning a lot of "please go to this planet to talk to this dude and then fly to another planet" which is taking up a lot of time waiting upwards of 30 seconds on a loading page.

I have tried this with planets aswell without any faster loadingtimes, I have however notied higher framerates during ops or at Fleet when I use it on my older computer.

I didn't actually take a look at that. i'll have to check that out. If dedicating 15-20GB of RAM to this means I am freed from the terminal 10-15FPS hell I've been dealing with I will be pleased.

So putting in the art files and animation files seems to have helped quite significantly for FPS but not much if at all for load times.
