I got 2 accounts. Since JTL I got extreme lag running them both at the same time



Anyone running 2 accounts with decent lag? I got 1 gig ram now and a good computer / graphics card, ati 9800)... would it help if i upgraded to 2 gig?

well i dual log to buff myself, and what i do is log in my doc alt and dont alt+tab outta that window, let it fully load, then buff or do anything with him and log him off, you'll have lag on the other account but it goes away if yah take a shuttle, least it does for me and i have similiar comp stats as you, 9800 pro, gig of ram, 2ghz cpu


but however if you wish to hunt with both accounts, well its bound to lag, more ram may help but i think its just gonna lag like crazy

I have a geforce FX 5950 Ultra 256MB, 1gig ram and a AMD 64bit 3400+ processor and I run 3 clients sometimes and never experience visual lag. I followed the steps that TH posted about making SWG run better by turning off certain graphics options, but I still have my settings maxed out!

Your video card has nothing to do w/ the lag when duel clienting, provided that it is a recent card. Most likely, its your processor if you have adiquate RAM (1.5 gb or more)

Same as, I used to play both accounts at the same time but since I installed JTL on one of them I lag like crazy, it gets so bad just looking around is near impossible and I have a good setup, plenty of ram, good processor, good gfx card, fully defragged but still it lags real bad. My next move is to up my ram from 1 gig to 2, hope that helps.

disable the sound in the second account and set your desktop settings to 16bit and welcome to a world without lag.

wish my comp could run two accounts at once...Hook up dual monitors and play both at the sametime



and the rituals that fade away, and the roses that cease to be laid, and it's clear to me that we're one foot in a very shallow grave

Actually yes... Upgrading to 2 gigs will help quite a bit. I just went from 1 Gig to 2 Gigs and I used to get quite a bit of lag when siwtching between the accounts to the point where I would have to stand still for a full minute or so while the client loaded everything up after siwtching. Now it runs very smooth.


You'll notice that almost all lag in this game corresponds to stuff loading from your hard drive. Next time you're lagging really bad, look at your box and notice the hard drive access light flickering. More RAM = less hard drive usage = less lag.


It's very smooth with 2 gigs.



By the way... I have:


Penitum 4 3GHz CPU (800MHZ FSB)
2 Gigs DDR400 RAM (512M x 4 - Dual Channel)
ATI X800 Pro 256MB (running at almost full XT PE speeds)
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
2 x 120 Gig Western Digitalhard drives (in a RAID-0 array)


(still a little disappointed that I can't crank the terrain details up all the way and have smooth framerates)

Some of my pet peeve bugs:
•Armorsmith protection layers were not converted with the CU.
•Ship Details window does not close when you click "Travel" resulting in the message "You have lost the target. Closing interface."

Kra, How do you get SWG to run with Dual monitor support, or am I missinturpreting what you are saying? are you getting the two accounts running on two different moniters? I can't get this to work, and didn't think SWG supported it
