Thread: lag
Find a less crowded planet and make your home there. Talus is my home world. I started on Tatooine at launch, and I was like.. OK. I have to leave Mos Eisley. It was awful. So I go to Mos Entha.. things were good there, but within 3 days, it was close to a slideshow.. So I go to Naboo. Same thing. I go to Corellia, and it was great at first, but now it's a slideshow.
I found Talus, moon off of Corellia, which is a tough planet for someone like me who is not a Master at any of my skills, but I am careful there and I have fun. It's empty, and the only lag I encounter is in banks and by bazaars. I also doubled my XP output by going to a planet I thought was too hard for me. It isn't, and there's always willing hunters around anyway.
I have a very fast internet connection but only 384mb of ram Does the ram effect the lag?
Kess,
ABSOLUTELY. What you are refering to is system lag and not server or internet lag. When you are entering a city there is so much loading that 384 ram is simply not enough to have a smooth framerate. Your game is hitting the hard drive which is causing you to stutter badly probably.
I had 512 ram and stuttered badly in cities and congested areas in the single digits sometimes. It was playable but very annoying. I doubled my ram to a gig and now I'm averaging mid teens in the cities. I still stutter very little now and then but it was 150 bucks well spent.
Anyone else here lagging in tatooine....MY gawd it takes me 8 minutes to craft a single piece of armor its ridiculous....
SOMEONE FIX IT PLEASE!!!

Hi
I have a friend who has been playing since the start and is on bria hoping to keepworking on his jedi. I was wondering how lag will effect the Euro players if they have joined aUS server? which i know alot have. There not going to want to move due to friends etc so itake itthey will just have to settle for the bad ping?
Also how willthe devscombat the lag forJTLif they havent really sorted out the lag on the ground? Anyone who plays FPS games will know that lag can somtimes be common and from what i hear over at planetside that can be VERY laggy.
I realise lag depends on alot of factors but does anyonereally havefaith that when they buy JTL they are going to get a 85% lag free game? when lag will be such an important part of it?
Am i being realistic or just being sily?
What are the other mmofps like?
Planetside does it well. Had no problems with Lag.
The ground game is totally different than space combat. In space there is no land,sky or buildingsto texture and draw. Lot less on the screen to worry about. Allegiance is a great example of server based space combat. Its all gonna depend on SOE's server technology and how the code is written.

The ping may show as a higher number but it doesnt affect the gameplay at all. In say a FPS, you have to worry about lag and your ping as it affects your play, but with this is doesnt.I wouldn't change from Ahazi if you paid me!
I think what is being said is, with JTL being twitchy..almost FPS...that lag may play a more significant part...I guess we will see when Beta hits just how bad its going to be
