Illwill- Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) Hey, there are hundreds of threads with people complaining about lag, ability lag, low fps, bugs, Ilum, horrible pvp...ehum...yeah, my point, right. Anyhow, I wondered if people could paste their computer specs if the game is running WELL for them. Now, some may wonder why I chose the PvP-forum and this is the reason: I ask that only PvP'ers paste their specs. I don't care if your computer can run Black Talon at 100 fps, I want to know if you can run WZ/Ilum at decent fps without lag/ability lag. If so, please be a doll and paste your info here so that those of us that are preparing to leave the game can find out what rigs that can run it. I know some very high-end rigs can't. Oh, and don't bother with the troll/fanboy posts, nobody will fall for it (no, you can't run Huttball well on your "brand"-computer from 2005). An idea of how a post could look to be helpful: Average fps when there are lots of fighting going on: CPU: Graphics card: Mother board: RAM: OS: HDD that the game runs from: Settings in game (bloom off, shadows off, everything on low etc): Edit: "Iamurfriend" posted this: Here is a thread I found about running FRAPS in the background while you play. It doesn't make sense to me really, but it gave me a significant FPS boost. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=180832 I tested a quick WZ with Windows media player running in the background, and it actually helps...as insane as it may seem. CPU throttling...so try it (or fraps or software like mentioned in the thread). Edited January 22, 2012 by Illwill- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're actually trying to be serious, please read my post and provide info. I seriously doubt you're not trolling, but "your laptop" doesn't really narrow it down a lot.

Podrik Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I'm upgrading my card tho. It's fine for warzones but If there is more then 30ish people in Illum at the same spot I get below 10fps and that's not acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iamurfriend Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Here is a thread I found about running FRAPS in the background while you play.
