The other day I was playing Star Wars: ToR and decided to surf the web a bit for strats and videos and such, the normal thing I do when gaming. When I reloaded back into the game i started getting some lag and couldn't figure out why so then I searched google for an answer to what might be slowing it down, not much other than "it's your video card", or "not enough ram".
After that second search I went back to the game and it had gotten even worse and I wondered about the textures having to load each time and if that may be doing it so I shut the game down completely, restarted it and played the same zone as before, no lag.
I have come to realize that if I need to search anything i'm going to be using my Android while i'm playing the game. It's mainly noticable in large areas, the place where I really noticed it was Taris, obviously cause it has so many shadows to load it just never reload right unless you restart.
Just a heads up.
