I turned off shadows. Its a little better. Will keep playing to see if stutters are stil there.

Yes but I am not playing a youtube video at the same time SWTOR is running.

Its not lag. The game runs choppy when moving around. My fps is 50-60 but still when I climbing a hill or just running around on Tython, the game has a stutter to it. There is only like 15 people on Tython too.

I just resubbed after taking a break for about a year and a half. I find that the game still stutters, has hiccups when running my character around. And its not that I have a crappy PC. My specs are AMD FX 6 core 3.4ghz, HD 6870 card, 8gb ram, windows 7 ultimate. And my fps sits around 40-50 on Tython so I dont think its the graphic settings. Is it the game engine that cant be fixed? The stuttering is annoying. Wish the game ran smooth like WoW.

Not just load screens, but the game doesnt run smooth like WoW. This is another deal breaker for me. And I have a high end pc.

Its not the 10 second wait, its the fact that there is an immersion breaking loading screen there.

Not really. In WoW, you can explore Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor without a loading screen. And that one screen you get when traversing from one continent to the other is not really a loading screen, takes only 3 seconds. What I'm saying is, SWTOR should of been more seamless like WoW. Every single planet has a loading screen. That is the equivalent of every zone in WoW having a load screen at the borders lol.

1 loading screen to board ship, 1 more to get off ship. I don't like that one bit.

It's not the load times. Its the fact that there are so many loading screens at every corner. Would of been better if we could freely roam in space and travel planet to planet with 0 loading screens.

When I log on, I que for a wz and play a few then log out. I never leave the fleet to quest or anything. And I really want to go out and explore but the loading screens are immersion breaking, and I think the planets are just way to big. You never see other players out there. I think maybe they should of made the planets smaller and left some room for later, make like part of the planet high lvl or something so we can come back to it I don't know.

Every mmo is linear

What about the secret space project? Do you really think they are working on a secret space project?

When did the graphics change? I see no difference

no wonder. you have 4 wide toasting slots those are usually for government security pc's. don't know how you got your hands on them.

My guess, the game engine is terrible? I have a high end pc and get low fps in wz's and fleet.

dailies suck lol. pvp wz daily is ok though. i guess as long as the daily is something you like doing, then i guess its ok. but who likes killing boring pve mobs every day, over and over lol.

Feel bad for those people who paid 180 for the CE. Now its basically free lol.

A. January B. February C. March D. April My guess is C, and yours?

So, anyone can download the game and play for free. What if one wants to subscribe. Do they need to buy the game and then subscribe? I hear now the game is 14.99 and the digital is 19.99?

Sounds cool. But it would be awesome if they made the general chat on fleet to be for all planets. I like to chat a lot and this is one reason why I don't like to leave the fleet. Also, so many loading screens, kinda makes me not want to go through them lol.

Thanks for the knowledge! Nah, I have an AMD mobo. So I will have to change mobo too.

Is the Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge considerably better/faster than the 2500k sandy?

I have a question. Is the Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge better than the Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge? I heard the Ivy was better? Out of Intel's four core cpu's. Which one is best for gaming. This is what my thread header should of been.

I heard it was the Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge. Is this not the case anymore? I have an AMD FX 6core but I'm now believing AMD does not make good cpu's.

I have a HD 6870 card with a 6 core AMD FX processor and 8 GB of DDR3 RAM and Windows 7 64bit. This game still does not run smoothly as other games can.
