Jedirep Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Friday morning humor at it's best. O, how I wish they would optimize the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asbalana Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 O, how I wish they would optimize the game. I did not mean to give the wrong impression. I agree with you 110%. But the sad truth is that after a year plus and gosh knows how many requests for improvement over that time, nothing has happened. The problems at launch are still there and no number of unsubs as a result seems to make a difference. Perhaps the engine is unfixable without a major rewrite and considering the cost of that we will never see things get better. PS - This post was written during the period spanning when I hit the force leap button and my character actually jumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_nonymous Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Given that they have no interest in fixing the purely cosmetic bugs (people dieing standing up, light sabres through the skull, unify colors, etc....) what are the chances they'll actually fix the real stuff that's broken? One of the many reasons why I cancelled my sub. I really want this game to be good. Really I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUXs Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 There are looking at it and have said so not so long ago , but it is way off. Yes they did. Remember when they also said that F2P games couldn't deliver what they could? Or when the said we'd have ranked WZ's BEFORE the next update? Or when they said Makeb would be a free content update? Or at E3 when they said Makeb would be released THIS YEAR? They say a lotta things tbh...just be cautious what you believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say a lotta things tbh...just be cautious what you believe. Yeah , i get what you are saying and also i think the fact that ilum is returning , but not the way it was before is a sure sign that optimising the engine is going to take a very long time. At least they admitted that the engine couldn't handle more than about 8 V 8 PVP as it is. So yeah expect some change in about 12 months , if they can get to grips with the pre-release hero engine they used. I hope they can do it , but it might be a very tall order and no i won't be holding my breath. Mind you maybe they might want to concentrate on it before ESO comes out as that version of the hero engine sounds like it can handle a lot versus a lot , even though it is a fantasy game.

DigitalDreamz Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 A year into the game the bugs, crappy performance and fps drops are here to stay. I kinda laugh at the suggestions some made in the past to make this game run more efficient. Such as removing 90% of your windows services, disabling EVERY PROCESS, snake oil garbage such as Windows aero. My personal favorite is the ram drive LOL! It's 2013 in a few days guys and you have users using ram drives?! Frankly it's embarrassing how poorly this game runs and how it's handled. EA set the bar with horrible quality in Warhammer online and I'd venture to guess they bested their own mark here with SWTOR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried it myself but people claim it helped the load times of the game. Sad that some guy did a project in his spare time that actually helped this game. If it did. I can't speak on it since I never used it because like you I cringed at the thought of RAM drive needed to be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordArtemis Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 If this was possible, even in small part, it would be a HUGE improvement IMO. They are doing small optimizations at the moment, a refurbished game engine, or game engine update would be a coup I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dein_Cathair Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 It needs to be done, when will you do it? The main problem as I see it, is that they don't have anybody who can do it. They have maybe one guy: 01000010 01101100 01100001 01101001 01101110 01100101 And I doubt any of them can just read what I wrote except that one guy. 01001001 01110100 00100111 01110011 00100000 01110110 01100101 01110010 01111001 00100000 01110011 01100001 01100100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fornix Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Just wait till launch of the GTX 780 and we'll all be playing warzones in 100+, raids in 100+ and the fleet in 180+. The GTX 680 already pulls of 60+, 60+ and 100+ in those areas anyway. Hardware resolves a lot of performance issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogoo Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 (edited) It needs to be done, when will you do it? Never. For that they would need to hire competent engineers. The current "client optimization team" is clueless. 1.4 "shadow optimization" was a disaster that still has not been fixed to this day. They will cash in as much as they can (Cartel Shop, PAID patch aka "digital expansion"), and then game will go on life support, minimizing dev costs. EAware.
