I improved my ping and fps by tinkering with my graphics card settings before going back into swg. I set it to max performance rather than quality.

Also, from Launchpad, I amended Game Options and set Graphics>'Vertex /Pixel Shader Version' to Disabled.

I'm only running a 64mb graphics card and I get 55ping and 22-30fps now, double what it used to be. though I have turned other in-game graphics off too (like flora display).

I don't get the stunning graphics anymore, but at least I can play the game with less lag now. (I play on a laptop and cant upgrade the graphics, though I did upgrade the ram from 500k to 1gb last christmas and noticed a massive improvement back then.)

Try this one....

Just built a new system.

Video Dual nvidia 6800gt's pci express

Processor Pent D 2.8 (dual core)

2 gigs of ram

128 gig hd with 2.4 ms return with 8 meg cache

Internet 1 meg cable connection

Iam not able to run with full anything on. I have to turn terrain off and all the little pretty stuff that I was so looking forward to with this new machine. Whats wrong with that picture.

Lately the game does seem to be having huge lag/fps problems.

Two weeks ago I was getting 25-30fps evening driving through the bigger npc cities. This week I am going down into the single digits at times, which just shouldn't be on this pc: 3.4G processor, 1 gig ram, nvidia 6600 graphics. I've tried speed optimized defrags and it helps nothing with swg. Counter Strike and other games are screaming fast on this machine, but not so for swg recently.

The lag I get is server side, we had a big pvp event in talus. I am getting 20-30 FPS and still it looked like time laps. I have a 6800 gforce pci express with a 3200 AMD 64 with 1 gig of ram on a 2 meg connection. the CU has braught us more lag.

AMD 64 3000

1 gig of ram

80 gig sata hd with 8mb cache

X800 XL 8xagp 256mb gddr2 ram (no overclock yet had to wait for break in time)

4.5 mbps download 550k upload cable connection

can run card with everything on (in catalyst control panel) highest quality settings. With the game set to max settings and get a strong 20 fps. Running everything set to default and card set to medium solid 30.

#1 not all games are made to run well with the dual card setup. Betting SWG is one of those. Since dual cards hadnt hit the market when the engine was developed.

#2 intel is teh junk for games. AMD pwns in the game department. Problem is with intel using the fastest memory you can buy still just doesnt hold up against a AMD with value ram as far as access times go. (built in memory controller FTW) And for dual core your not picking up much more performance in a single aplication just better multi task ability.

Before dual core hit the market a benchmark proved that in order for a Intel chip(extreme edition 3.8)to bench like a FX55 chip it had to overclock to near 4.4 ghz while the FX chip was running stock.

to many factors to why something does or doesnt work that cant be decided just by listing core values of the parts. things like O/S and running condition. Type of motherboard, manufacturer of the video cards (especialy nvidia since they only use outside manufacturing to produce cards) brand names really help because not all parts are created equal. Two 100 gig hd with the same stats can easily have different performance.

Motherboard's choice of chipset can play a huge factor in performance. BIOS settings blah blah blah etc etc etc the list goes on and on. And lets not get started on background processes and applications that could possibly be stealing bandwith and altering performance.

I run an AMD Sempron +2500 (1.75 GHz) 1.5 GB ram, 256MB ATI X700, SB Audigy2 and I have 1.1 Vertex on and the only lag I get is ping and when my ping goes up my fps goes down. Could be anything in your situation though, turn on the ingame monitor (control-shift-G I think) and watch the in/out and memory usage.

I have noticed that a big portion of the lag I get is with the machine loading constantly everywhere I go, even with settings low (which I should not have to do) ...

Something to do with the way SOE accesses the information loaded on your harddrive so when ya move around the harddrive is constantly on the run loading the stuff it seems that there is no buffer zone or something, I am not a guru by any means but wouldn't ya think that once you enter a zone it should be loaded up and not constantly loading as you move through it?

Dont get me wrong mate, I am not being funny, I am just trying to help. All I am saying is this could be something todo with it mate, Try changing all the graphic settings in the launchpad like the previous guy said, and set it to LOW.

Good luck with this my friend.

It's an old processor but it still runs the game just fine. hehe. I have the same processor. 1.8Ghz. Rated to outrun an Intel 2.2Ghz.

And I don't lag on Talus.

I would say with a 200 ping it is your modem connection. You are probably getting some packet loss.

in the launchpad choose game options, and turn everything you can find to low detail...

Actually, first, in fact, there's an issue with some cards and the vertex shading, try disabling that off before everything else.. For some people it just snafu's some systems

I turned off disk cache and shuttle load times are 2x faster.

Also I had a GeForce FX5600 for like 2 weeks and it was HORRIBLE, my GeForce 4 Ti4200 wsa wonderful til it burnt out with my old motherboard, but never again with nVidia!

And about that loading with objects, I get it alot too even with a fast hard drive it gets bad in places like MO and Theed, but if you got a decent set of SCSI drive the load lag isn't there at all since SCSI relies on its own processor.

Ack !! I wouldn't want to have to go through all that trouble and expense just for a game...

Maybe I can con my Son into it

If you can keep a consistant 25-30 FPS, you're doing very well. I'd ajust your settings till this happens. Theed and MO suck as I only have 512Mb of RAM.
