OP here I am aware that a new laptop is not automatically going to give me the specs i need to play, but it does meet the minimum system requirements. Granted it is clocked way down. Seems like before 3.0 i was was holding at least 15-25 fps in WZ's and ops with this system, choppy... but good enough to keep up with the action. Now as i said, im lucky to go 2-5 during combat. Would just be nice to play with what I got. Here are my system specs: Operating System: Windows 8.1 64-bit (6.3, Build 9600) (9600.winblue_r7.150109-2022) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: Dell Inc. System Model: Inspiron 3541 BIOS: A03 Processor: AMD A6-6310 APU with AMD Radeon R4 Graphics (4 CPUs), ~1.8GHz Memory: 8192MB RAM Available OS Memory: 7096MB RAM Page File: 2381MB used, 11882MB available Windows Dir: C:\WINDOWS DirectX Version: DirectX 11 DX Setup Parameters: Not found User DPI Setting: Using System DPI System DPI Setting: 96 DPI (100 percent) DWM DPI Scaling: Disabled DxDiag Version: 6.03.9600.17415 64bit Unicode Card name: AMD Radeon R4 Graphics Manufacturer: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

I play the game in the lowest graphics settings. Im not really sure about what kinda internet connection speed im getting, but i play with LAN instead of wireless.... any other suggestions (besides getting a new computer) will be appricated!

I was there from the start, played pretty consistently throughout the 4 years since the launch. Bought all the expansions, Subbed through much of that time.... Always had FPS problems, and always dumped huge amounts of time and energy into finding just the right tweak to make it somewhat playable. I've run the gambit from tweaking client_settings to changing the performance settings in all different combos for both my computer and the game, installing things such as Swtor : unleashed, 3d3 overrider, game booster to name a few.... tried all the tweaks and fixes i could find on swtor forums, and Google, and you tube in the hopes of finding just one thing that would actually make the game run a little smoother. Some patches were better than others, and i would have an amazing time with the game.... 4 years, and 3 different computers later.... the game has become quite unplayable, and now i suffer nothing but disappointment when I go into a WZ or a 16 man op, with all my tweaks on, on a brand new laptop, and get 5-10 FPS..... it's quite un-playable. With sadness, I will not be renewing my subscription, and will not play anymore.... as i simply cannot play anymore. I will keep my account active in the hopes that someday this game will be playable again......... someday... as I totally love this game, and Star Wars in general. Goodbye sweet SWTOR, it was fun while it lasted *sniffle*
