1.4.0b Patch - Made Graphics Worse


Narthil

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

I have a pretty good graphics card, the "GeForce GT 540M", before 1.4 I had my graphics on "High" and they worked fine, after some patch I had to lower them to "Medium" and after today's patch (which was supposed to fix this issue) I have to set them on "Very Low" otherwise it looks like my screen is on an epileptic attack.

 

Does anybody have the same issue?

 

Thanks.

How- for the love of God- HOW did you manage to make more things worse with the patching Bioware? Is anyone even testing these things out before you push it out of the cage with a stick?

 

Everything was fine and dandy for me before the last major update, I was a quite happy, paying customer, but recent changes to the graphics just killed my gameplay. I don't care for bugs in quests, or abilities, since I know you'll squash them sooner or later, but the stuttering is unbearable. Every couple of seconds it looks like the game is droping some frames and not displaying them at all. The game runs quite smooth but it looks like the camera is teleporting when Im paning the view with my mouse, loosing some frames, how the hell is this supposed to be enjoyable? And no, its not a FPS drop, since my PC can handle this game with no problem, I was playing on max settings with 1920x1200 before the update and even now it runs smooth, only the stuttering...

 

You guys are really loosing more customers thanks to your glorious patching... ohh, and the person that came up with the "Companion 101" eleven months after the game release should get a chocolate medal. Whats next? You'll start revealing the classes that are available in the game already? Gheesh...

Every patch has made the game worse. 1.4 caused sudder. 1.4a the studder was worse. 1.4b now it is unplayable. If I had known that the game would look like this within a week after you took my last payment, I would have unsubbed at that point. Currently I am paying to be able to play a game that causes me headaches. The other option is to mess with settings to the point where it is tollerable but jacks up the temperature on my card and I am not willing to do that.

I am running on top of the line newest nvida card, the patch form oct 2nd im sorry but it has done nothing whatso ever. still getting horrible frame rates. Did everything bioware told us to do, I cant even play the game its giving me headaches from all the shuttering. Its never had this problem before, space combat is still lagging like crazy, Im about to unsub cus I can barely play anymore :( I know its not their fault and they are rushing to find out what is happening with 100s of players, but untill its fixed I cannot take the frame rates as is

Do what I did, drop Nvidia and go AMD. The catalyst drivers work a LOT better with this atrocious rendering engine. It's a piece of junk, nvidia knows that, and does not care. Why should they?

 

Only having problems with THIS game. I have Nvidia. I am fine with the Panda game for example. I even had to upgrade my drivers to the most current to have smoother play with the Pandas. I have to use older drivers to have minimal game play with THIS game? I don't think it's Nvidia. All things point to whatever the heck they did to "enhance shadows" (read: INCREASE studdering and headaches). :rolleyes:

I am now having issues!!! When I log in and out of Char I get a white square in the left top of my screen?? How weird is that?!

 

lol the same.

 

Funny thing is I wasn't getting it at first. It only started yesterday, not immediately after the patch which I think is weird lol.
