Classy. /salute

Because no one gets killed by the mobs in the event itself. (Please don't tell me someone got killed by the mobs in the event)

No, it wasn't.

No, I hadn't seen that particular post. I saw one that you made that did a quick copy/ren/mklink on each asset file. I'll look at the one you just posted asap. Thanks EDIT: Hot Dam(n)! You all rock!

I thinkered a bit and came up with the following BATCH file. Could you all look it over and let me know if you see mistakes? The idea is that for someone forgetful like me who might start the launcher and then walk away, only to have the patch fail, I can run the .bat before playing to copy file to the RAM Disk, and then run after playing to set things back to basic setting (the DiskCacheArea settings are left intact, since it's the assets files that are the most likely to cause problems on a patch). Obviously, my local install is at "C:\Program Files\SWToR" and that will need to be changed by anyone who uses this script.

OK, thanks. I've not had problems with performance beyond stubborn hi-res textures that sometimes won't load (e.g. I can stare are a quest item that's a grey blob until 2-3s later, hi-res loads in), or an odd "base" skin on conversations sometimes, where characters have silver eyeballs and oily black, skin. Something tells me the first is related to a reported function in another thread where the gfx engine stops rendering while it waits for data. The second, I have no idea. I'm hoping the DataCacheArena fix takes care of the first, and I was wondering if a larger RAMdisk might address the second. Thanks for the prompt reply! Many thanks

Great thread! Quick question: I assume the more advanced fix of copying the assets to a larger RAM drive is undone on every reboot, right? I'm on a Mac and reboot into Windows to play SWTOR. If I setup a RAMdrive with the main assets in it, I would have to recopy them each time I rebooted, correct? The DiskCacheArena file, however, is created on launch, so that would not require manual attention, aside from ensuring that the RAMdrive is mounted before running SWTOR each time, no?

I found I had a much-improved drop rate after I left Mos Ila to do a few quests. Came back and found it was about 50%. Before that, it was 10%. Anecdotal evidence, of course, but might still help someone who stumbles across this thread.

Yeah, that pretty much sums up why the story is dull.

Same here. Have some nice crafted epics that are missing TWO stats when linked.

This. Champion (even with expertise) wrecks anything craftable at the moment.

Ummm... no.

Please change the thread title to "[Do not imitate this] most frustrating PvP [style,] ever."

I'd like to, but my father, God Almighty, said I needed to get this fixed. (+1 to endgame PvP being garbage.)

The cast bars don't appear to show up beyond a certain range. Try standing closer to see if you can see his.
