exca Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) The download link for Unleashed is dead. Please fix asap. http://www.metasharp.net/swtor/SwtorUnleashed_v3.3.0.zip <--- Dead It's not. My webserver just stopped for maintenance a few hours.

BogyOne Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Hey, is there an option to run TOR Unleashed immediately in Unleashed or Retail modes by adding e.g. "/unleashed" command to the end of the shortcut or start it in this mode from batch file? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoobooMagoo Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I might as well try this out. I have 16 GB of ram and I'm not even using a third of it right now (there was a sale on 2 packs of 4gb sticks, so I said 'why not?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karquile Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 If you have 50 or 60 bucks and a free SATA port on your motherboard, get an SSD and put ALL your favorite games on it - they all run at top speed without any special utilities.

Indeed, it'll speed up the game, but it won't prevents fps drops as well as swtor unleashed does since RAM is 10 to 30 times faster than the fastest SSD.

When I moved SWTOR to an SSD, all fps drops and "hiccups" vanished. While a RAMdisk is faster, the SSD seems to be fast enough. And it works for all my games.

BellaEva Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I very much dislike the warning in the new version. It says "You need to free 100MB of RAM" or something like that. I have many browser windows open, and I know that Windows will simply shove their memory into the pagefile when theyre minimized and SWTOR asks for more memory. I don't like Unleashed aggressively forcing me to close programs. Display a warning, but allow me to continue anyway. I know how to manage my own computer, don't second-guess me. This is the first thing I really dislike about Unleashed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like Unleashed aggressively forcing me to close programs. Display a warning, but allow me to continue anyway. I know how to manage my own computer, don't second-guess me. This is the first thing I really dislike about Unleashed. There are 2 kind of errors. 1- A blocking error message saying "you need to free blablabla". And that I won't remove. Since Unleashed CAN'T work the way it needs to work without this memory available. I prevents people complaining here "I don't understand it crashes, it's slow, blablabla". 2- A non-blocking warning message saying your memory is kind of low for the settings you chose. I could maybe make an option in settings to hide it. But I don't recommend at all running SWTOR Unleashed if the warning is displayed. If you know how to manage your computer, you probably know you'll have no benefit using unleashed if you get the blocking message. So don't use it.

But my browser's memory will be paged to disk and freed for SWTOR. I know, because thats what always happens. My pagefile usage increases. This is the point of the pagefile, it puts away the memory of background programs until they are needed. I can run Unleashed 3.2 with 1GB of RAM free, but over a minute or so, I can see Windows pages other apps until SWTOR has enough. Then when I exit SWTOR, I have 6GB of free memory, until I begin to use my browser again, and it returns to RAM. The error message is artificial, if you believe it is necessary for simple users, then please put an XML option to bypass it for those who wish to.

Until then feel free to stick to 3.2 if you think it helps you more. But again, if you get the message you'll probably get no benefit from unleashed because if the game swap data to hard drive : you'll get SWAP. Which defeats the purpose of unleashed.

But as long as I don't unminimize my browser and keep SWTOR open, it is my browser that will be paged, and SWTOR will never have to leave RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PacmanSOS Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 First I want to thank you for this great little tool. My FPS almost doubled and are staying far above 30 all the time. But I have a major issue and I don't seem to be able to solve it alone ^^ I have loaded all assets and 100MB extra to the Ramdrive. I unchecked Add DiskCacheArena because with this feature I get the common error. My major Problem is, that I can't see some NPCs. They are invisible for me. I recognized this first during D7 where I was a tank and couldn't see half the enemies. I can't even target them. If I start SWTOR normal everything works fine. Do you have any Idea what may cause this? Thanks in Advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(understand : "a swtor asset") So unchecking the faulty one should solve your issue i guess. You can try to "remove and quit" then delete you xml configuration file, start unleashed again and set it up again.

PeteLala Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Did you run SW:TOR Retail, or SW:TOR Unleashed? You have to run SW:TOR Retail for patching. TY.....I'll give that a try....also love the program, great job keep it up...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitrikzoltan Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Theoretical question: What would happen if someone would put the entire game onto a RAM drive? If I have 64GB of RAM, the game would take up less then half of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
