Okay there Amanda Bynes... LOL. Whats wrong with trying to give a little insight to help a few people, did mommy not love you enough? Haters, I don't understand people like you.

bumping topic

Yeah, Bioware really needs to look at what their software is doing in the WZ and Fleets so differently then the rest of the game. Specifically, what is causing the in-proportionate stress on the GPU vs the rest of the content in the game.

I think that'll just have to be something Bioware fixes on their end. They've still got work to do on the engine.

My 2 cents on why it works: your card is still being utilised for the GPU accelerated themes, and desktop composition. Can someone sticky this, it'll make the game a lot more enjoyable for people without the best specs int he world.

Well I went from 5-7 fps to 30-40 instantly and the ability lag is a hell of a lot better at 30-40 fps then 5-7 fps.

swtor launcher properties -> compatibility -> check boxes for disable visual theme, disable desktop composition, run program as administrator Problems solved.

bumping this so ppl can use it

bumping this so i can help at least a few other ppl out there.

Windows 7: Right click your SWTOR Launcher shortcut Click properties Go to Compatibility Disable visual themes Disable desktop composition Run this program as an administrator Hit okay and boot SWTOR Worked for me, went from 5-7 fps to 30-40. I run a phenom ii x2 550 be and hd4890.

Windows 7: Right click your SWTOR Launcher shortcut Click properties Go to Compatibility Disable visual themes Disable desktop composition Run this program as an administrator Hit okay and boot SWTOR No lie, I went from 5-10 fps to 30-40 instantly with the exact same graphical settings. I'm simply blown away how checking 3 boxes in my properties menu for the SWTOR launcher fixed the lag. Not guaranteeing anything, but it did for me. I know how many ppl are out there getting fed up with PvP. But this just totally changed the game for me and I wanted everyone out there to at least try this so they can enjoy the game too. I've even run this in windowed mode and it works for windowed mode too. I run a Phenom II X2 550 BE, 4 GB DDR3, XFX HD4890. Run everything on high except shadows off and shaders low. This fix essentially lets the game run the way it does outside of PvP and the Fleet for me.

I hear all these ppl boasting about 6k crits with Anni, but I've never done a 6k crit ever against an actually geared pvp target. It's like boasting about a 30k backstab crit with a Rogue in WoW against a target with 1500 resilience.. lol. Melee mechanics are vastly underpowered to ranged and casters. The fact that Ravage is a stationary channeled MELEE spell is just mind boggling, with probably the most animation glitches I've ever seen in an MMO.

Bioware is showing their inexperience when it comes to dealing with MMO patching and they seriously got all their priorities in a mess. They should be fixing bugs and all the glitchy animations before they start adding new content... sadly they aren't, they're too busy working on flashpoints.

Wintermute is my legacy name.

Telling them to entirely change their pvp system and start from scratch and then bashing them for not getting help from mythic aren't suggestions.
