I was running SWTOR happily on my desktop until last week, but since coming back to uni I've had to switch to my laptop, and have been suffering very poor frame rates, the most I've seen has been around 30 in open areas, but it seems to fluctuate a great deal, and drops to 5-10 fps have been very common. My laptop does just about meet the minimum specs, but at the moment although SWTOR is just about playable it's not much fun really. I'm playing on the minimum possible settings with shadows etc switched off, and I've also optimized my laptop by turning off everything unnecessary in accordance with a very good guide I found. These are my laptop specs: OS Name: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit System Manufacturer: Packard Bell System Model: EasyNote TM82 Processor: AMD Athlon II P320 Dual-Core Processor (2 CPUs), ~2.1GHz BIOS: InsydeH20 Version V1.06 Memory: 3072MB RAM Graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 (Approx Total Memory 1401 MB) I appreciate that laptops are problematic to upgrade, but I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to make SWTOR run better; I don't have the funds to get a new one and I can't bring my desktop. One thing I can easily do is upgrade to 8GB RAM, but I'm wondering whether this will make enough of a difference to make it worthwhile. I suspect that my GPU/CPU are the problem, but I'm not sure there's a lot I can do about this; the GPU is integrated, and I haven't been able to find any way to use an external graphics card somehow. Can anyone suggest anything I could do to improve my frame rate? I know it's not a very good laptop but I'm just hoping that I can make enough tweaks to just get my frame rate bearable. I'm quite happy to play on minimum settings as long as it runs smoothly for regular gameplay, even if it drops inside and warzones aren't playable. I'd really appreciate any help as at the moment it's too laggy to really enjoy. Thanks.
