...NO other game or program crashes my comp...None of them...just SWTOPOS ..Not Coincidence

 

 

I'm not buying it. My system is ancient in gaming terms, yet I am educated and have it

optimized as best as I can, and guess what no crashes no issues.

 

1. You didn't research what you bought and the hardware doesn't play nice together.

2. You have all sorts of crap running that shouldn't

3. Drivers, Drivers, Drivers...

Thanks again bioware.Yesterday i had 4 crashes while i was playing.Today while i pressed quit the game crashed again i saw a blue screen and my ssd died.I sent it back to the store.

So this is the game u were creating so many f years.My ssd died because of the continuous crashes of your game.

I never had a problem with crashes in any game since i bought the ssd and now with your brilliant crashing game we can burn everything we like.Thanks again

I want my money back

 

The game did not break your hardware.

and we should care about your speccs, why?

 

how much exactly did all that cost?

 

what do yo udo with it? did you cure cancer? no, you're playing GAMES. not only that, but games that aren't even able to use 50% of all that hardware properly.

 

my system has 12g ddr3 and i am running a lot of VM machines for developing and still have too much ram... 24gigs on a computer obviously made for gaming (judging from the the 2 gpu)? either your lying to brag or you like to throw out money for nothing.

 

having extra hardware "just because you can" is a waste of money and stupid most of the time. what are you running win 7 64bit? a few games and a pirated ms office? you would be fine with 8gb

 

Well said!

ITT: People who don't know what solid state drives are.

 

SSD's are a new technology utilizing flash memory which is limited in life span with read and write cycles.

 

AKA, They will die faster than a HDD if you decide to install EVERYTHING.

 

 

For those owning an ssd: Make sure your OS if installed on it, is optimized for it. This includes turning off indexing, disabling readyboost caching and also being sure that you don't benchmark the thing like crazy.

 

 

This is not a "bioware killed my SSD" problem this is, an uneducated hardware user killed his own computer. The crashes didn't destroy your SSD, more likely the windows error reports that generate everytime along with the crashing along with the pagefile indexing that occurs whenever you go from the game to your desktop. Let alone that the game consumes around 4GB of RAM fully when run in any sort of detail, which means that you likely had extra memory written to the SSD.

 

 

TL;DR--The guy put in a component he didn't need and is throwing a fit over his own error.

 

 

In the IT world, its known as a problem between the chair and the keyboard.

 

 

Software doesn't kill hardware.

lol I'm sorry ...i gotta keep coming back to this thread, it's so funny. especially all the sarcastic comments to OP ROFL!!!!!! lol

 

Side note.

 

I got a OCZ Vertex 3 60gb for os and vertex 3 120gb for current played games and standard 1tb seagate for all the games I have that I think I will revisit.

 

Not sure about OCZ vertex 2 failures but the vertex 3 have gotten great reviews from people, as long as you have current firmware and SSD tweaks on OS. Anyone have any issues w/Vertex 3 drives?

I always love reading this persons complaints on the forums. It always seems to be something about his / her computer screwing up because of the game, when it's pretty clear it's a user error. The signature he/she has is just so amazing.

i'm having kind of a coincidence here as well with my ssd and swtor just not with swtor crashes or such. the game is stable and fine for me.

 

since swtor beta i have had regular problem with files getting corrupted on my ocz vertex turbo. on almost every reboot windows found something and ran scandisk to fix it until windows failed to reboot and needed a reinstall. this has finally stopped now that i had to reinstall windows (4th time since i got in to swtor beta) and i did so to my old storage hdd. also moved the game away from ssd.

 

now swtor also updates without any complains about needing to run the game's repair function.

 

less than 2 year old ssd reduced to 54% health (still 100% performance according to hard drive sentinel). ill just be keeping the game off any ssd's in the future.

Your hard drive didnt die because of SWTOR crashing. If anything, it reached the end of it's write cycle. People who paid for SSD drives are in for a sad awakening, you can only write to them so many times before they die.

 

But if anything, your SSD drive should be less susceptible to sysetm crashes since there isnt a head to crash aginst discs in a SSD drive.
