Liamo Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Also, I've found the easiest, for me, way to find how to apply it the game is use the wizard and when it asks, go to Windows Game folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent_walker Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 What does the "no" sign mean on your taskbar? Can't rember the name of it, but it's like the Ghost Busters sign, red circle with a cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keobe Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 WOW what a difference !! Looks so much better and shiny , this is also going to sound real silly but with the added detail it seems to have actually increased my FPS and smooth running of the game aswell so much more in the imperial Fleet, and im playing with eyefinity triple screen also. Only downside is the increased jagged edges , but overall Very happy ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only downside is the increased jagged edges , but overall Very happy ! Actually at times I have noticed that having MSAA enabled has INCREASED my performance, crazy? Well my thought is since this game does not use my crossfire well and it scales it to crap. perhaps forcing MSAA is 'allowing' more of my gpu to be used instead of being idle. it sounds crazy but I do remember saying "why is my framerate higher then before" after tweaking a few times. Are you running sli or crossfire or a single card? If its a single card forget everything I just said Edited January 17, 2012 by quickshotxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHauntingBard Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Changed the line for my 580GTX just WOW, it's an improvement. Wonder if it can be tweaked more. Very nice post OP, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisai Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Now all we need is directx11 support for this game and we can really see some improvement in fps while running these graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilTrollGuy Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Does work for me. Using the Nvidia Inspector I cannot change the LOD to -3.000. I just simply will not allow me to mess around with it. Can someone help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDizzyGoldfish Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) i have tried everything to get this game running without crazy erratic fps gain and lose over a matter of seconds and it never stable. i run a a gts 450 oc and no issues with other games i have played . i even poped in a gtx550 ti, and nothing changed. running Asus M5A97 PRO AMD 970 G.Skill RipJaw 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 Amd Phenom ll x4 965 BE 125w 500 psu i like the game but find it so good damn anoying having to play like this . i have 2 accounts for swtor, was hoping this game would pull me away from 6 years of playing wow. really hope that they sort out the many preformance issue that i have come across on these forums and there seems to be a incredable amount of it. i would had expected a new realise such as this to put dx11 into better use ,as mentioned in other post the high res textures none existant /or not propably implented. did Bioware even get into talks with the 2 major graphic card manufactures ,to maybe get driver updates in place for this game. would i end my sub for my 2 accounts over this ? . i would have to give bioware a chance and address these issues players are experiencing. How long ? until Titan is realised . Edited January 17, 2012 by McDizzyGoldfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickingite Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I followed exactly what was in that screen shot and its confirmed on my computer; I7 2600 560ti 16gb ram Asus mobo I had improved distanced trees and grass. Roommate even said it looked better. Of course watch heat and usage, and when the patch comes be wary of the forced settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moopsiecakes Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I just downloaded the nvidia inspector, and there is no SWTOR profile for me. My video card is a geforce gtx 260. not sure if it's my card or the software or something else. can i create a swtor profile? i mean, i search it and see pretty much every other star wars game under the sun, but definitely no swtor. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanJJ Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) do any of you guys have the following line in your client_settings.ini file: MeshLODQuality = 0 if not, i believe this is essentially doing the same thing without 3rd party software. i've noticed that if i change that value to 1 or 2, the quality of the ground gets worse. 0 is the high quality setting, FYI. edit: also, if you don't have it; add this in: TextureQuality = 0 Edited January 18, 2012 by TitanJJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VoXPCS Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 playing on an LED flat monitor also helps. If you have a CRT monitor of any kind, from any period in history then your game will forever look bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psytic Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) playing on an LED flat monitor also helps. If you have a CRT monitor of any kind, from any period in history then your game will forever look bad. CRT Still has the some of the best color depth and blackest blacks if you can even find an hd one still in production. The problem with the tech was heat and size of the Cathode Ray Tube.

quickshotxx Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) playing on an LED flat monitor also helps. If you have a CRT monitor of any kind, from any period in history then your game will forever look bad. A crt monitor image wise will beat out ANY 300$ plus lcd monitor. CRT color depth and quality wise (and basic response time) DESTROYS lcds. Only the top of the top lines lcds can keep up with them. goto a hock shop and pickup a used crt for $5. Its quality will blow u away. I watch most my movies on my 19" crt still due to this. Unless your going to fork over $500 for one of the new flat screens with all the new tech (like the stuff we saw at ces) then crt will ALWAYS win. The reason crts have faded out is there size.

Seoleim Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Am I the only person who this didn't work for? I followed (and copied) all your settings exactly and the game has taken a 15 fps hit but looks exactly the same. What am I missing here? Is it just that i'm on taris because trees more than 50 - 100 feet away look like green blobs yes I made sure to change it to -2.5, I also added the launcher.exe to custom too. Still nothing.
