BioWare: "most" people aren't having SWTOR performance issues

I have a very powerful system but TOR runs like a dog on it. Without going into boring detail, I have a 3.2GHz quadcore processor, 8GB of RAM and an ATi 6800 graphics card.

I get maybe 11FPS in PvP and not a lot more in Republic Fleet.

And the real kicker? I already have all the graphics settings on LOW!

So spare me the "This is only low end specs" because it aint.
Again a worthless post. You guys do not understand that you need to provide fact? Whatever you're listing to boost your epeen is useless.

TaskManager performance numbers, stuff like nVidia Inspector with GPU/FP usages, etc...

Without it you're just someone that cannot configure your computer properly.

PS: Like that dude with 12GB of RAM, 6GB in Paging and 0MB free wonder why SWTOR is slow loading.

Without those boring details, you're just complaining for the sack of complaining.

So want help? Give us the boring details.

Most people's computers fall somewhere in between though and for those of us not terribly tech savy, we will probably assume it is a problem on our end.

I purchased a new computer a couple of weeks ago, so I am not having any issues but I could easily see myself assuming any problems I have must be on my end.

Update your drivers, man. This is just the v11 stuff, you have v8. The beta drivers are at v12 and people are reporting great FPS increases for SWTOR with them.
Thanks. I have the exaxt same computer as quoted, the ASUS g73jh. I have major issues at fleet and in pvp. Even tho I lowered my settings to 1280 and low. Ill see if this changes things. THe problem with the asus g73jh is that many of the drivers, the new ones, is totally messed up. Some of the newer drivers isnt compatible with many games and crashes the games all the time. Its a known issue aswell.

Ill try the new drivers and let u know if it works

The highest GPU usage i have seen in SWTOR (i have MSI Afterburner running) is 35%, CPU usage perhaps 50% at highest loads, that just seems very wrong, **** i can run any other game on ULTRA without dropping below 60 FPS, so clearly there is something wrong here

3x threads that has broken the post limit can't be fiction bro, stop being such a biodrone and open your eyes.

Umm, yeah BioWare, get your heads out of your asses and stop making excuses.

I have a I7 CPU, Radeon 6990 2gb, 16gb Ram, but guess what, I get 14 fps on the fleet, when everyother game I run max, no problem. And don't pull ******** that it's because there is a lot of people.

Server Lag /=/ FPS issues

Oh, also, I play EVERY single game max.

BioWare is legitemly pulling numbers out there *** and making excuses because they don't wanna fix it.

Also, I don't even run any backround programs in the back and my computer is new so there isn't much things installed on it other then virus protection, a few games and some drivers.
"You will do it with me" ~ Damn, how I wished force persuade was real.

There are a (very) few companies that make professional gaming laptops, but those aren't going to be anything < $2k. Anything else is going to give you minimal performance, which you're seeing.

You want optimal performance? Use a desktop
my 400 dollar laptop runs this game better then my 900 dollar PC. desktops are great!

Where is your GPU/FP usage?

Where is your Real Memory, Page file, Free Memory usage?

Stop complaining if you are not willing to provide the information

I have a decent pc just upgraded for this and I have no issues anywhere except maybe a lil in pvp.

BUT

To sit here and say that there really isn't a issue is BS, WE ALL can see that the graphics settings are fubar. Half the time going to low graphics doesn't change a thing. They don't even have all the textures in the game yet.

To be fully honest they don't know if it's just 5% they haven't even turned on the high detail graphics for the game. What will happen now when you allow all the actual higher textures and settings into the game. Right now everyone is running the game on mediumish so I bet it will not be 5% when that is changed.

Still most of these people would prolly not even have a problem if they fixed the settings to actually adjust things properly.
