playing on an LED flat monitor also helps.
If you have a CRT monitor of any kind, from any period in history then your game will forever look bad.
A crt monitor image wise will beat out ANY 300$ plus lcd monitor. CRT color depth and quality wise (and basic response time) DESTROYS lcds. Only the top of the top lines lcds can keep up with them. goto a hock shop and pickup a used crt for $5. Its quality will blow u away. I watch most my movies on my 19" crt still due to this. Unless your going to fork over $500 for one of the new flat screens with all the new tech (like the stuff we saw at ces) then crt will ALWAYS win. The reason crts have faded out is there size.

I followed exactly what was in that screen shot and its confirmed on my computer;
I7 2600
560ti
16gb ram
Asus mobo
I had improved distanced trees and grass. Roommate even said it looked better.
Of course watch heat and usage, and when the patch comes be wary of the forced settings
Patches shouldnt be a issue. Editing lods can be done in any game and should never cause a conflict

i have tried everything to get this game running without crazy erratic fps gain and lose over a matter of seconds and it never stable.
i run a a gts 450 oc and no issues with other games i have played . i even poped in a gtx550 ti, and nothing changed.
running
Asus M5A97 PRO AMD 970
G.Skill RipJaw 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9
Amd Phenom ll x4 965 BE 125w
500 psu
i like the game but find it so good damn anoying having to play like this .
i have 2 accounts for swtor, was hoping this game would pull me away from 6 years of playing wow.
really hope that they sort out the many preformance issue that i have come across on these forums and there seems to be a incredable amount of it.
i would had expected a new realise such as this to put dx11 into better use ,as mentioned in other post the high res textures none existant /or not propably implented.
did Bioware even get into talks with the 2 major graphic card manufactures ,to maybe get driver updates in place for this game.
would i end my sub for my 2 accounts over this ? . i would have to give bioware a chance and address these issues players are experiencing.
How long ? until Titan is realised
.titan is a long ways off. look forward to planetside 2, firefall, guild wars 2, and diablo 3

Bioware,
You ashamed yet on how your paying customers have to resort to 3rd party programs in order to enhance our playing experience? When obviously you couldve done it from your side which makes life better for everyone.
Sincerely,
A customer
ooooo harsh

WOW what a difference !!
Looks so much better and shiny , this is also going to sound real silly but with the added detail it seems to have actually increased my FPS and smooth running of the game aswell so much more in the imperial Fleet, and im playing with eyefinity triple screen also.
Only downside is the increased jagged edges , but overall Very happy !
Actually at times I have noticed that having MSAA enabled has INCREASED my performance, crazy? Well my thought is since this game does not use my crossfire well and it scales it to crap. perhaps forcing MSAA is 'allowing' more of my gpu to be used instead of being idle. it sounds crazy but I do remember saying "why is my framerate higher then before" after tweaking a few times.
Are you running sli or crossfire or a single card? If its a single card forget everything I just said

Doesn't work for me, every time I open the game, either from the icon or though Radeon Pro it doesn't work. Pro does give me the "No" Sign in my task bar.
I was running x4 AA from CCC and it worked fine, not sure what I am doing wrong here. I have got Radeon Pro set to find swtor.exe and set Launcher to - Custom - Launcher.exe
Where in my instructions did I ever state to open the game through radeon pro lol. Just have it in the background and a profile set.

This is GREAT! Shadows actually look like Shadows now!
I'd like to know why Bioware left it up to the players to find a solution to this issue?
There never going to recommend a third party tool. It would just cause so many issues with the people who cant get it working right. within 1min of posting it they would have 10 replys saying it broke there game. The average person will try anything even if they have no clue what it is, people are, well st*p*d lol. Plus people would assume bioware would give them support for the tool and it would just cause confusion.
its scary but do you have any idea how many people dont even know about graphics options, roughly what they do, or how they effect performance. I always get a
when im trying to help some random in trade chat who says there game lags. I ask something simple like what resolution are you running or what are so and so settings set at, and they reply 'where can I see that'. This is why we cant have nice things. -
Bioware sent me a warning for this topic lol, apparently im hurting there community with this??? OW nm it was because I was rude to one of the guys who couldnt get it working..... had me thinking bioware didnt want you doing this lolz, I was about to be like "THIS IS THE LINE!"
-
i did and for the most part it works fine, but one thing that did not happen is the grass draw distance or whatever its called didnt increase. there is still a large circle around me as i move where the grass grows, instead of it being there far away like in the video (NVIDIA card)
U are sure both your distance sliders are at 100% for grass and tree? I find it hard to think that nvidia would for "whatever" reason render grass shorter. I have a nvidia rig as well (I actually have 5 computers lol
) and it doesnt have a issue like your describing. -
Check out the reflection in the warzone with the blast doors (come to think of it I don't even know what that warzone is called lol)
The floor is black and the reflection is to die for!

monitors crap or your blind. The difference is night and day. go look at any metal texture or trees at a distance.
Also make sure your running the game in your full native res. im not trying to be insulting but I have seen/done this for many people a lot of times now, it made a difference (a large difference) every time. this isnt a trick or some troll, it just works. If u cant see a difference you either did something wrong or have the worst hardware I can imagine
-
The game looked fine before I saw zero difference other than a tiny bit of sharpness.

For the ATI guys/gals I recommend using catalyst 11.9 with the latest 11.9 cap. 11.10/11.11/11.12/and 12.1 beta gave me reduced performance. BF3 still runs awesome on 11.9 the only game u will lose out on is rage. atm for swtor I deff recommend 11.9 with 11.9 cap4 and radeon pro (for tweaking and crossfire stuff)
-
Because that would take courage. If they had high res textures in, half the playerbase would be sending in tickets, calling customer service or complaining on the forums because "*** I CAN'T PLAY ON MEDIUM OR HIGH!".
Lower textures mean the game can be played by more people, including the World of Warcraft folks (hint hint HINT HINT HINT).
The downside is people with better computers do not get to play the game the way they should be able to. It is all about subscription numbers and reducing QQ for Customer Support, the Moderators on the Forums and the Developers.
Im not a wow fanboy. But at least I have MANY setting options in Wow and even totally maxed out x8 AA it looks better and runs better. But I really cant compare a game as old as wow with this. Wow has had A LOT more time to optimize stuff
-
no visible difference for me and I did nothing wrong
Lol no hate on u bro but u didnt do it right
Im going to assume u got the settings right, perhaps radeonpro is not detecting the game. make sure u direct it to the game exe (THE GAME EXE NOT THE LUNCHER) and also set the launcher option and direct it to the launcher. game should show up in your recently played section of radeonpro if it detected it. If thats all good then u did not set it correctly. Double check slowly. If your on nvidia ask someone to upload a directional video like I did. Remember u want negative values for LOD not positive -
Since you felt the need to post that it did work for you multiple times..
Either you alreaddy had the improvement or you did something wrong. I can personally attest that this works and the difference should silence a lot of the quality complaints.
However, you will still dip to 20-30 in Fleet or on some planets. There is no way to stop that (I have been trying).
I found the fps dip from just LOD change is very small. its adding AA to help clean the image up that hurts the frame rate. least in my tests
-
This is not a way to enabled high res textures. its just a way to make the textures we have look a bit sharper and better.
-
I set mine to 3 instead of -3 at first, what a huge mistake. It was like playing an n64 game
HA yea I did the same when I was figuring this stuff out, shoulda seen my face lolz
-
As much as I really appreciate some of the player base of this game posts and efforts into helping other around I strongly think this is not our problem into try to solve the lack of performance this game has it.
I hope they gonna put this on the queue task in order to improve overall performance of the game.
Much appreciate the post though
Yes its not our job to fix this, but since we all know bioware aint doing nuttin for a bit, might as well try right. Im in the progress of added a fxaa (post effect modifier) as well as im trying to see if switching out the game files with the ones from when we had high res texture could trick the game in newayz. I feel with all this tweaking I might get banned soon but meh, Tweaking this game atm is more fun then the game itself
-
Let me say this once.....THE GAME HAS NO HIGH RES TEXTURES......THE GAME WILL NEVER LOOK GOOD.....
I play a lot of mmos and with this tweak the game looks better then 90% of them. And since when do graphics make a game. I can go back to super mario (any of them) and still have a great time. YES WE WERE LIED TO but since that isnt going to change stop crying about it, If you dont like the game then dont play it, dont spread hate through the forums plz
-
Only issue i'm seeing is MORE aliasing and jagged lines. Worth it though.
Try adding x2 or x4 AA aswell, this will help clean up the image
-
Set it to 2.5 or NEGATIVE 2.5? You have it set to negative 2.5 in the video, but you suggest setting it to 2.5 in the voiceover.
Yes u want negative values. that voice over was just my bad broski. negatives = sharper textures positives = washed out textures
-
This doesn't work.
Using a nvidia gtx580 3gb
Yes this does work, u did something wrong....
.
when im trying to help some random in trade chat who says there game lags. I ask something simple like what resolution are you running or what are so and so settings set at, and they reply 'where can I see that'. This is why we cant have nice things.

SW:TOR - AMD/ATI & *Nvidia Increased Graphics Quality Tweak - This looks MUCH better

ok try this, launch the game with radeon pro in back the background obv and screenshot it, then close the game/radeon pro and then relaunch the game, same spot, same everything, screenshot. then compare them to be sure it not working for you first. Focus mainly on med-distance trees
