I hoped that with this patch the pvp issue would get fixed.. sadly it's nowhere near..
I can play the game on high, everything maxed without any problems but in pvp, or when more than 4 people team up everything slows down to around 10-14 fps

My system is composed of ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series, 4096MB RAM and intel core I5 processor, it's not the best but I expect that I would get DECENT fps in pvp warzones at least on the very lowest settings.. World of warcraft works flawless, in pvp, raids, you name it..

Also I would like to remind you people that the recommended system requirements are intel core 2, 4gb of ram and ati radeon 4850, not the minimum, the recomended ones that Allow us to play the game flawlessly on Medium settings, yet we get 12 fps in lowest settings, how is that possible?

I tried everything possible, even disabled visual themes and desktop composition from the launcher properties, should I try to run it in compatibility mode for windows 95 or what?! )

I will play this game solo until level 50, but if that doesn't change even then I shall cancel my subscription and demand my money back, wow quests suck compared to swtor but at least we have flawless battlegrounds when we do reach max level

Same issue for me. Im running on high-end machine. Playing quite a few games that are graphics intensive. and SWTOR is first I encounter such terrible fps and lag.

Im giving it a couple months and if situations still the same I have no problem unsubscribing.

Will be wary of all bioware products in future.

Everyone shouldnt even bother posting their computer specs, your comp is not the reason for the lag/delay.
The cause is the game itself, not any ones computer setup.
It saddens me to think about how bad the pvp is, because i really like the game, as a whole.

I'd imagine BW knows what is wrong with it and they are working on optimizations.

If thats the case, why do Bio request for my computer specs, advised me to turn all graphics low?

I have all of my graphics absolutely maxed and have not experienced any lag what-so-ever, anywhere in game. Must be Bioware's fault.

I have 60+ FPS in warzones. Chasing a sith around a pillar. Getting in los. Spamming G (stun). Spamming G for two seconds. Spamming some more, ya know, just to be sure. He moves out of sight. Can't see target. Taking a look at the latency. 69.

I imagine the source code for the latency meter probably looks similar to this:

Code:
Int LatencyMeter(bool connected)
{
  if (connected) Print(Math.Rnd(100)); 
  else for (int i = 100; i < 25000; i++)
  {
     Print(i);
  }
}

Warzones seem fine to me. I went to Ilum yesterday to get my daily kills and was in a massive battle. It was so choppy that it was pretty much unplayable.

ever wonder why Ilum was a joke at launch that ensured no epic battles were fought for the first month of the game?

ever wonder why during closed beta these "issues" weren't sorted out?

ever wonder why the pts doesn't allow level 50 templates?


here is the secret - since midway through development of this garbage game, BW has known the engine wouldn't support massive multiplayer environments and battles. But the sunk cost was already there... EA demanded an ROI. The solution, hide the problem for as long as humanly possibly. The PTS would never uncover these issues because nowhere near enough 50's were present on it to discover... as intended by BW.

You have all been suckered into a PVE game with illusions of PVP that BW knew would never exist halfway through development. The recommended hardware requirements for this game are spot on for single player PVE... the only real thing BW was selling.
