Nobody is asking for them to re-vamp the graphics engine so the low end machines couldn't run it. All we're asking is for the high-res textures to actually work in game. If you'd bothered to read any post in the entire thread you would know that.

Has anyone been in game since the servers went back up? Was there a patch that might have fixed the issue? I'm stuck at work.

Been stated several times that some graphics options werent ready/polished for launch so they disabled them, perfect example is the AA setting that was in the last test but was removed from the launch options, sure it didnt work either way, but its obvious that they are still working on the kinks in their engine.

The fact that its still being polished should be obvious from how un-optimized shadows are in this game, you can double FPS just by turning shadows off even on good hardware, now shadows can be demanding sure, but not THAT demanding. Its fairly obvious that the engine still needs some tweaking, they havnt even fixed the major light glitches on the jedi start areas yet, im betting the first major patch is going to be a monster.

These are some screenshots from MMO Champion showing how the game should look, and below I've posted some pictures that show some of the odd textures. It does seem to affect certain textures as others look okay.

As you can see, some textures don't look bad, but compare them to how they should look at you should see the weird issue. Obviously the game is still playable and I have been doing so. But this bothered me and wondering what is the cause.

Nope, the issue is still there. The High textures still only display in the cutscenes and character selection.

First of all...I got in last night, plus I was in the beta....I played and played and played.....great game....but I am one of the people that really has a problem with bad graphics...for me it can be game breaking.

And to make things clear....I like the art stile and the models, so it's not a question about that.

I forgot to take some screenshots of what I’m talking about, but it's old news to many of you.

Some of the textures are ok I guess, but when you get close to a rock or a ship or a building, textures look really fuzzy and washed out...and no..iI'm not looking at it with a magnifier..it's easy to see the low quality.

This is something you would expect from a game from 2000-2004 (Texture wise).

I just don’t get it. Yes they want everyone to be able to play the game, but what about the rest of us.

It's like saying... "Not all can buy a great looking sports car, so now people can only buy small cheep a** cars".....that’s fine...but what if someone wanted to buy that sports car..should he not have the option ?

If SWTOR had a ULTRA option in graphics settings....then we could use that, and people with problems could turn it down. At middle settings the game would look like it does now ??

I love the game, but graphics are just ..... OLD.

Hope this will change in a Patch...even AA and AF would be a big help (Yes you can turn it on in the .ini file...but still)

Sorry for the rant...just think it's crazy thinking from a company like BioWare

Am i really the only one... (Expecting a lot of short posts saying..."YES")

Any way....see you in game
I agree 100% the texture resolutions are just...dismal to be honest.

Anyone that thinks otherwise has obviously never seen a HD texture or for that matter even played WoW (I know but let's face it, the textures in wow are like years ahead of swtor).

I'm not asking for Skyrim graphics here just for some HD textures even if you have a low spec PC you can easily turn them off.

Same goes for AA and AF I can't actually remember a time when PC games released without that option it is quite a let down considering.

No gamer should ever have to enter in code to their game to get aa. That should have been done by the devs, they are embarssing themselves everyday with how unfinished this game has been released to public.

If i worked for another dev company i would be pointing my finger at bioware and laughing.

To be fair to Bioware, this as been one of the smoothest launches for an MMO I've experienced. Been part of some abysmal launches in the past and although there are still many problems, I'm sure they'll get around to fixing them.

I'll say one thing though, I would have waited till 2012 if they had no other choice. It does seem like they hadn't had enough time to iron out many of the issues. Still, it's launched now.

Yeah the shadows are broken.

On my GTX 580 the shadows don't seem to work at all - "High" quality shadows are static blobs.

At work, I have a "9600 GSO 512" and the Low quality shadows are better than the High ones on my 580.

That aint right.

The only problem I have texture wise is on the armour.. Currently i'm wearing a really nice looking robe that I like on my Jedi Sentinel, it looks great but the texture looks very blurry.
It would be nice if it was sharper and you could see the clothing better, other than that I think the game is beautiful as it is.
