    Overclocking

    in Off-Topic

    Posted · Edited by JediQuaker

    Note also that most modern CPUs have some form of "hyper-boost" technology that automatically boosts processor speed depending upon load. SWTOR only uses 2 or 3 cores/threads and tends to run at the boosted speed most of the time. "Overclocking" would just lock these processors into a 'boosted' state, but produce very little extra performance.

    Turning off "vsync" would be better.

    100% CPU CORE USAGE WHEN ANY CARGO HOLDS ARE OPEN

    As a non pc expert I'd say you are bottle necked by your CPU.  You're CPU is underpowered in comparison to your GPU which is mining HUTT cryptocurrency secretly in the background everytime you are in your cargohold.

    Suggesting that an AMD 5800X is 'underpowered' definitely indicates that you're not a 'pc expert'. 🙄

    I keep meaning to check on this, but I haven't been in-game in about a week. 🤔

    i5-6600 running in Fullscreen(windowed) mode. My overall CPU usage doesn't change when I open Legacy/cargo storage. (Task Manager)

    For some reason, my hardware monitor is not working, so I can't observe individual cores at the moment.

    Then why nothing works anymore because devs keep upgrade their game more than half year already?

    Unfortunately i don't know yet .. i must go to shop, show requirements and then they will show me what they have. Looks like even i can't get updated system requirements. On Guild Wars 2 forum i got what i kindly asked in seconds.

    The fact that your 15 year old computer has problems has little to do with the specs needed today. We here have no idea what you can buy in Poland for £900. (And I'm not going to bother to try to find out. 🙂 )

    Basically you want to aim for an AMD 5600X based system (or Intel equivalent) with at least 8 Gigs of RAM and an nVidia GTX-1650 based Graphics card. SSD/HDD needs only to be large enough to hold the OS (Windows) plus SWTOR - which is only about 120 Gigs.

    A typical system would be AMD 5600X, 16Gigs of DDR4 RAM, GTX-1650 GPU, 1TByte hard drive/500Gig SSD. Such a system will easily handle SWTOR. 

    Is this OK or not?

    I would like to politely ask you to stop with the taunts and keep your sarcasm to yourself. Thank you for understanding. 

    You may have misunderstood my intentions. My point about appearing as a credit seller was a legitimate concern. However, given the above response from Savant, I guess it doesn't appear to be a problem. 

    Probably unpopular: I feel strongly that some classes need their ability bloat addressed

    The fact of the matter is, nobody should feel obliged to have MORE THAN TWO full 12-ability bars on their HUD in any game in 2023. That's absolutely ludicrous. Certainly, nobody should have a full bar of attacks that largely accomplish the same thing, but simply with different animations, fighting with one another for rotation time. 

    The fact of the matter is that nobody IS obliged to have so many abilities on their skill bar. As you yourself say, some of these abilities largely accomplish the same thing, and so you can, at your own discretion, not equip them on your 'main' skillbar(s) and either leave them out or put them on a 'sidebar'.

    The hardware requirements for SWTOR haven't changed much, and any modern computer should have no particular problem running the game. It is best to have an actual discrete graphics card rather than built in CPU graphics, but it can be relatively low end such as a GTX-1650. It's also best (for SWTOR) to prioritize CPU speed over core count.

    If it's a laptop, try to avoid 'thin and light' units and/or CPUs with relatively low (< 2.5GHz) processor speed.

    Allow players to deselect BT/Esseles and still qualify for weekly. And while you are at it, add KDY back in. 27 of 28 or 28 of 29 and still get weekly. If you have BT/Esseles checked, you are aware cutscenes may not be skipped. All problems solved.

    It would also help if the ability to select/deselect FPs was a bit more obvious than just a tiny "28/28" box. I've encountered many players who didn't even know they could select/deselect individual FPs. 🤔

    Let me clarify. 

    I realize that going through GF will not ensure the lead, so you would basically need to form a group outside of GF. The main purpose of this group would be to view the cutscenes and it doesn't need to be a 'full' group - that is, it can be player(s) + companion(s). If it's not 'full', you can enter the FP 'manually'. If it is 'full' (4 players), you can still go through GF to get any bonuses etc.

    This of course is only applicable if they changed FPs to allow the lead to skip. As it is now though, you can form a group as above, that agrees in advance to skip cutscenes.

    That would be a severe bummer for someone playing e.g. Hammer Station or Athiss for the first time, where there isn't a Story mode.  ("Yeah, I wanted to see the story, but someone else skipped so I couldn't see the story.  How do I get to see the story?")

    You lead the group. 😏

    Since I completed the latest season stuff I haven't bothered with doing any FPs. It's a shame because I actually enjoy doing them, but I got so fed up of getting BT or Ess that it just wasn't worth it any more. 

    That seems kind of silly when you can just de-select BT/Esseles from the GF list. I realize you won't get the bonus and it wouldn't count toward the weekly, but it's still better than not doing the FPs at all (if you truly do enjoy doing them).

    Yes, this is my solution too. But it's too bad because when everyone does this, you get 3 80's and a 13 in the queue. Then, nobody want's to group with the lower level toons. If they removed the risk of BT or Essles, then people would be more willing to group with lower level players. I think that would be good for the community. 

    Often times the 'low level' character is a new alt of an experienced player and is actually better than some ill-equipped 'high-level' doing their first FP (and not using their spacebar). 

    The problem with Esseles is not low-level players - it's those dam cutscenes that people don't spacebar. I think a good solution might be to enable the group leader to skip cutscenes.

    Is this OK or not?

    As far as I know, no there isn't. You could even have multiple paid subscriptions.

    However, I'd be cautious about that because you might come across as a 'credit seller', or appear to be trying to game the system.  (Maybe you should ask your 'guildmate', Discord buddy.) [/sarcasm] 😇

    In any case, if you're going to start a new account/character and transfer stuff from your current account, wouldn't it be simpler to just start a new character on your current account?
