MosesMercury Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) Does anyone have concrete data of how many mb/hr this game consumes? I am talking just the game minus any voice programs etc. Just the game. Thanks in advance to any constructive replies.

ltprudii Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 You mean like maximum memory used like ram and Vram? Mine usually goes upto 3-3.5gb depending on area which is why i upgraded (finally) of 8gigs of ram. If you are getting times where you have good fps then it just freezes for a second or two you might want to upgrade your ram or increase the amount of Vram through system settings.

NaimiIflya Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I just looked at my Internet Data Usage (my bandwidth cap is 50GB). On Tuesday I played 8 hours of SWTOR with my wife on the same connection, and total we only used ~295mb total, 228mb Download and 67mb Upload, and this was for 2 Clients. I've only used 15% this month, and the cycle resets in 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesMercury Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 Sorry, I didn't clarify. I meant as far as having a bandwidth limit. I am out of town for work. I can either go to a McD's for free WiFi but no power for my lappy or use a usb modem. I would like to know how fast I will chew through 5 gb.

TitanJJ Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 looks to me like it's about 12mb an hour. in 10 minutes of play, i logged in at fleet, did a little crew skill work, threw an item on the GTN, then went to my ship and did Taspan Ambush. it was about 2.1mb download+upload total.

MosesMercury Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 Ok. This is all helpful. Going by 18 mb/hr. It looks like a 5gb cap will get me about 9 hrs of play a day. On average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tahana Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I played yesterday from about 4:30 pm CST until 9:30 CST along with browsing the web for some information on where best to farm some commendations since I did an oops purchase. I used a total of 31.8 mb of bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a total of 31.8 mb of bandwidth. Ok that is the lowest yet. So far you get the prize. My estimates are on the high side to avoid any crappy charges.

Tahana Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'd use your numbers because when you tab out the game stalls and puts you at that login screen. I'm not sure if it is transmitting any other use data to my machine because you have that 'wait' for the screen to resolve and see the game again. I think you are pretty close with the 9 hours before hitting your cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangeway Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I'm not sure why you guys are seeing usage so high, but I'm seeing much lower numbers. I'm visiting my in-laws place in rural Ontario for the New Year's weekend and am stuck without internet access. So, as a last resort, I decided to try playing by using my iPhone as a personal hotspot. Works like a charm, I must say! Smooth as silk. As for usage, I'm averaging about 4 meg per hour, which made me ecstatic as I only have a 1 gig per month data plan. I played from 10:20am (at which time I reset my stats) until 12:55pm. Total up = 2.4 MB, total down = 7.3 MB. Needless to say, I'm thrilled to know I can get my SWTOR fix wherever I am as long as I have my phone with me!
