Zanarchy Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Hey, SWTOR is pretty laggy for me when I'm out in the open, when I'm in instanced zones it runs fine, but the weird thing is, my friend can run it at max and can record it on fraps at the same time and still get better FPS than me, whereas he has near the same specs as me? I'll tell you mine and his so you could compare. My rig: Windows 7 64bit ASUS GTX 560 Ti AMD Phenom II X4 (4 CPUs) 3.4GHz 8GB DDR3 RAM His Rig: Windows 7 64bit ASUS GTX 560 Ti Intel I5 Core Processor 8GB DDR3 Ram Any ideas?

Chronokeeper Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I had this problem too until I turned shadows off in the options, and I mean OFF not low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derex Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) I've already done this, but i still get harsh FPS drops.. Same here, it worked yesterday turning down off the shadows and i had swell FPS of 70-100 every where i went, but i THINK they patched the game this morning and it reduced my fps even more.

Zanarchy Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 Your system is plently, sounds like another problem to me. Any idea on what it might be? I know that my driver has been *********** up... each time I install, it uninstalls itself when I next load my PC up making it so I have to keep reinstalling each time.

Voison Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Turn off Vertical Sync. Use Full screen Window. Disable Bloom. Disable Shadows. Check your refresh rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanarchy Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 Turn off Vertical Sync. Use Full screen Window. Disable Bloom. Disable Shadows. Check your refresh rate. 1: Done 2: Done 3: Done 4: Done 5: only 60. This isn't the point of the thread, me and my friend have nearly identical systems in terms of performance in a lot of other games, however, this game is an exception and I cannot run it as good as he can, I can barely run it at all at times.
