You have a Force Feedback joystick... yeah, that has some issues with JtL.


I use a Logitech Extreme 3D pro, without the Logitech software, so I don't see this kind of problem.


One thing that may help is unplugging the joystick for a minute or so, then plugging it back in, before launching SWG.

I have this same very problem, thanks for the adivce. (The macro)



(It's what kept me from doing a lot of JtL, 'specially leveling....)

Sure, your ping might be sub-50, and your packet loss at 0%, but there's still server/client lag on occasion.


Turn down all the space-related graphics options you can. Turn nebula details all the way down. Turn off the cockpit frame and play in 1st person view. Put /flushGraphicsResources in a macro and put it on the hotbar so that you can click it when you need to.


That's what I do, and even with a cable modem, playing at off-peak times, I still occasionally get very brief periods of exactly the kind of thing you describe.





what does this command do, I have not seen it before.

the name is kind of obvious, it free's up graphic resources. but what does it do to achive this?




Try it and see :-P Helps (alittle). Curiosity killed the cat!

Weird bug. I have a Logitech Wingman Extreme 3D Force Feedback joystick too. I'll have to try what's recommended next time I log in.


Later,

Yup looks like a (joystick)driver problem, there may be alternate drivers you can try or if it has been a few years you could upgrade to a saibek(sp) they are realy nice controlers and I haven't heard of this problem with them.

Play the game or don't it is what it is and will never be what it was for better or worse. I intend to play the game as long as it is fun, that does not make me a fan boy of brown noser. I know the game has it's flaws, but it serves no purpose to dwell in the past.

/flushGraphicsResources


/flushGraphicsResources fullReset


Both of these clear currently unused textures from memory. The first command does a 'small' job, only flushing the cache. The second one flushes both the cache and active memory, IIRC.


There is usually a small delay with the second command as the program reloads the current view from the server. This delay isn't too noticeable when you don't have a lot of lag. In high-lag areas, or when someone nearby is using a speed-hack to move like the Flash, the delay is noticeable only because things get faster after you use the command.

Useful command to unload all those saber textures your memory picks up after passing through theed
