Kintaroshin Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) Anyone knows a fix for this, i tried low setting, high settings, full screen, windowed. Nothing helps. Drivers are up to date, windows are up to date.Here is the video, you can see grass flickers when i switch targets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vvJtXA7nxQ Edited January 13, 2023 by Kintaroshin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JediQuaker Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Well, one thing to try would be to replace the graphics card, but that's not easy to do. 🤔 It could be heat related - make sure your graphics card is clean and the fans are working.

Kintaroshin Posted January 13, 2023 Author Share Posted January 13, 2023 No thats not my GPU since its the only game that it does this. My GPU is always around 50-60c during gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My GPU is always around 50-60c during gaming. Dunno about that. Mine (RTX 2080Ti with two UHD screens) runs around 72 °C in SWTOR (on Ultra in UHD resolution, mind you), and it works just fine. I even went to PubTaris and stood in *exactly* (or near-as-dammit) the same spot, focussing the same three enemies, and no flickering. Maybe the problem is on my end, but I find that unlikely.

ThanderSnB Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Have you tried running the game in compatibility mode? Try Windows XP (Service Pack 3). That's what the game was originally made for. It's worth a shot and doesn't take long to test. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jursy Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Grasping at straws here, but have you tried lowering the trees and grass settings to around 75 as opposed to 100? Worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otowi Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Or turning shadows off, as shadows are a bit wonky in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible that something on your system or your video card has a problem or a conflict that is causing this to happen. SWToR is a DirectX9 game so the video will react differently than with other games. You can't do the" Well it only happens with SWToR" comparison, because SWToR is very different from other games. You should start looking locally at your system, DirectX9, Video Drivers or something running on it for a problem since this seem to be something with your setup.

True, SWTOR uses a very heavily modified version of the Hero engine, wich has caused a lot of bugs, and I'm sure headaches for the dev team. It's probably a lot harder to get the engine to work well(ish) on all systems, unlike other games which might use an engine like the Unreal engine, which is a lot more dev and user friendly. I've seen my share of weird things in this game due to the engine being wonky, or not agreeing with certain pc builds. A rig I had well before my current one did not agree with shadows being turned on at all. If I turned the shadows on, I got a slide show, but with it off , and some other settings tweaked a bit down, it ran mostly well, but some planets was not good on performance, but bearable.

Amodin Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) Well shadows (especially in this game) really hampers any graphics card. The way shadows are drawn into game (if memory serves) is how they have to program the lighting - or lack there of, in layers and have to calculate/program how the light changes. Like, when the sun moves and shadows shift. That's harsh in gaming. What card are you using and the driver set?

Amodin Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Yeah, that is more than capable of handling this game, lol. That is an older driver version (but not that old) for a laptop I'm guessing? If it is, I would still recommend just grabbing your drivers from NVIDIA directly, or even getting GeForce Experience to optimize your games. I was against that software for YEARS, but finally decided to try it and it's actually not bad at all, with a great built-in recorder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
