richardya Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 My new computer died so I just bought a new graphics card for my old one and got this issue. Wow, it is horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SithtobeJedi Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Hello All, I went from complete and utter nonsense to a smooth experience by doing the following: ===#1 - Modified client_settings.ini to look like this: [Renderer] D3DFullScreen = true Height = 1050 NativeHeight = 1050 NativeWidth = 1680 TextureAnisotropy = 1 Width = 1400 WindowX = 0 WindowY = 0 MeshLODQuality = 0 VerticalSyncState = false EnableBloom = false TextureQuality = 1 UseMinSpecShaders = false doShadows = false PlantDensity = 1 AntiAliasingLevel = 8 [Game] MoviesFolder = ..\..\Movies SwtorRegKey = SOFTWARE\BioWare\Star Wars - The Old Republic ===#2 - Set Node Interleave to Auto (BIOS Advanced Memory options) ===#3 - I noticed a ton of disk reads at all manner of odd times, so I move the app from relatively slow SATA drives to absurdly fast SSD drives (striped pair). I am sure installing the game on any really fast HDD/SSD will help. ===#4 - Run game graphics at low quality during Warzone PvP (which really isn't) I do not have a hugely fancy system - Tyan 2915 w/2xAMD 2212 Dual Core Cpu's, 16gb of pc 5300 mem, and a recent add GEFORCE GTX 560 ti. Note that there was also some setting to make sure the GPU does certain work instead of the CPU's, but i forget what it was. Anyway - all the instanced PvP was rather glorious without lag/weird fps....hope this helps others... Good Hunting, Ell Has anyone else tried this?

madmikeMB Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Having the same issue. Really hoping BW fixes it soon since I'm having a blast playing the rest of the game and would love to get in more PVP but I just get really frustrated after 2 or 3 matches due to the lag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway - all the instanced PvP was rather glorious without lag/weird fps....hope this helps others... Good Hunting, Ell I appriciate the help but tbh this is an issue for the developers to solve. Something is freakishly wrong when the CUSTOMERS have to fix their screw up. I'll pay 1-2 months of game subscription but if these issues are not solved by then im out. Might come back half a year later so that I can experience the full product that I paid for. to OP im *********** tired of ability lag as well. Specially when you stun someone and you can't do abilities on them because the server can't even keep up with positioning the players right.

Oneclaw Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Bump for lag/targeting issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenxy Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Bump! 3Ghz 4 Cores 4GB DDR3 Radeon 5850 Half decent PC, more than enough to run this game, I can play Battlefield 3 in Mid to High graphics.... I put everything on the lowest and stupid amounts of lag in areas with other players. This is an issue that should of been resolved before the game was released.

Hayemaker Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Whats annoying is that it doesn't effect everyone. I've seen vids of guys running around without lag. And its not related to quality of machine. That much is obvious. I've already unsubscribed because I can't see how large scale orvr can be possible when you have performance issues this bad in 8v8. That, and the constant crashing on "enter warzone". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FodderofCannon Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Considering this has more views than any other issue in pvp one would think they are aware of it. It would be nice if we had some sort of response about the issue, since many of us picked this game for the pvp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akabeth Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) This thread needs a bump. All other issues pale in comparison to this. Yup. It's perhaps one of the two most apparent problems imo with the other being the current state of CCs. The thing is this ability lag issue (plus "Not Available Yet" warning) is so bad I actually get to laugh at it, meanwhile CCs warrants a few /facedesk.

mecamind Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Same here, 3.0 duel core AMD Nvidia 275GTX 8 Gigs DDR 800mhz RAM clean Sata HD Gigabite Dura 3 Motherboard DSL connection All my parts are about 1 year old. I get 11-30 FPS with shadows off, its even worse in WZ's Its a shame were all seeing another warhammer type relese with these FPS issues, its a real game killer for me.

ChacaCon Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I run around 20 to 35 fps ever where in the game but in WarZones. I run around 7 to 12 fps. the Lag is unreal. If I hit one of my moves it takes sometimes 3-4 seconds before I do it. I have turned my graphics to low everything and I mean everything was on low, I even change my resoulution to way low to see if that would help and nothing did. It was the same. I then put my graphics on high everything and believe it or not it helped smooth things out but fps still are the same. Please fix it I love PVP and its almost impostable to play with the way things are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilford Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 i7 2600K @ 3.4ghz 16GB RAM 2 GTX 580's in SLI 110-120 fps in open world areas. 40ish fps in WZ's... Unacceptable. Devs need to optimize the game or Bioware needs to hire new ones that know how to do their job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaiBear Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Im running about 50fps + In PvE but as soon as I join a warzone i'm down in the 10-20fps with delays up to 3 seconds on abilitys even though latency shows it's around 50ms. Playing a Smuggler its really hard work to get cover abilitys to work since the delay to just crouch takes so long. Cant interupt anything, best I can do is the kick to the balls if I smash the keybind >< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cormaq Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Also having this prob on a decent system...no issues outside warzones. So annoying considering that warzones are the place u need fastet reactions. Having to bash deflection or force cloak about 8 times b4 it triggers is gamebreaking for me. The only way around it for me at the moment that makes it just about playable is to turn everything low and bloom off, but im gonna say the same thing as everyone else, this is unacceptable. Please sort this bioware, you made a great game..dont let it be ruined b4 its even started by something that can be easily fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobesteve Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I didn't notice this in beta, pre-release, nor first few days, but now I have TERRIBLE lag only in War Zones. I don't get this in regular play ever, only in the crowded space station. Makes fighting in there silly as everything is on a delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hansenn Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I agree. Alderan is the worst though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDFSilent Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 No FPS issues for me... BUT in Warzones my abilities have a 2-3 second lag before firing... this is what it looks like in text form: 1) Global Cooldown timer is up 2) Press Button to fire attack 3)? 4)? 5)? 6) Attack goes off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karnyboy Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I agree, there's soem nasty lag issues in WZ's. Something in the engine is a resource hog. What really kills me is the global cooldown system/latency on button presses. I've pressed an instant cast non-focus skill like Saber Ward 6 times before it activated even though there was no GCD active..... Things like that irritate me, or hwo I always miss out on kills because my damage animations are slow compared to a blaster fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonerjohn Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Tonight my warzone lag was gone. I have no idea why. The only thing I changed was to turn off all of the floating text except for my damage. I don't think that was it though. It just started working normally for some reason.
