I too am level 28 and 6pm EST is even better for me. Anyone else want to join us? I played Athliss alone and with a level 18 and got thru all but the final boss. I am certain two level 28s can wip it easily. Two others can also join in!
they called me yesterday and asked if they could put a new hard drive in....
who knows how long the rest of the work they have to do on my system is gonna take at this point. I wanna get it back so i can play some games!!!!
Hello,
got my copy of SWTOR today, got home from work and inserted the first DVD into the M18X drive.
The DVD drive is working fine and i can copy the files from the disk to a folder on the HDD, but i cannot run the file setup.exe both from the disc and from the HDD.
I double click on the file and nothing happens, i thought that running it from the hard drive would change the things but it's not working either.
I remember i had this problem in the past and maybe formatting i resolved it but i cannot format right now.
My internet connection also is very slow so i cannot download such a huge game from Origin.
Any help?
EDIT:
Ok,
found out the reason and it's very interesting.
RadeonPro is ing up the launch of the file setup.exe
It's not the first time that RadeonPro gives me problems of this kind, very disappointing.
I hope this can help someone else with my same problem.
Normally flashpoints are tailored for 4 people. Athiss I think is a lvl 25 flashpoint so 2-3 should do it easy but we need at least a tank and a healer. I can heal but my spec is DD so I wont do as good of a job as a pure healer.
Well I hit level 50 and unfortunately the performance issues with this game are still making it basically unplayable. The only reason I'm still playing is because I waited for 4 years for this game and I really want it to work.
I can't even do warzones. I'll load in, everything's fine, 60+ frames max settings, then out of nowhere I go down to 10-15 and nothing I do changes it. I have done everything to try and make this game work with my machine and nothing will do. I reformatted, reinstalled the game, tried every tweak, nothing. I'm furious. I figured my machine would run circles around this game but I get 2-5 frames per second in the Imperial Fleet and random fps drops out of nowhere ALL the time. And don't even get me started on the microstutters.
That's odd, more or less an identical setup to myself. What drivers are you on? Running on the "New" dell drivers, or 12.1 (not 12.1a) preview has worked flawlessly for myself. I have 8xAA set and it typically runs smoothly (get an occasional dip to 30-40 in heavy pvp or in the one space battle due to smoke effects).
I switched from the 12.1 preview drivers to the Dell drivers and the weird drops in framerate issues have vanished. Now the framerate is smooth, but I find the performance of my machine below expectations. Out in the open world questing I'm at 100 frames, but in warzones when I'm in combat with other players I'm basically always at 25-35 frames. When I run away from the pack on my own it goes up to 55-60, but basically when I'm doing anything useful in a warzone I have 25ish fps. I figured with my GPU's I'd be able to run 60 fps everywhere in this game but I guess not.
Also, something else worth mentioning, that's 25 fps with full settings except shadows turned off. When I put all settings on low, or even lower the resolution, the fps stays the same. No improvement.
That's very strange ... are you sure you are running Xfire? Radeon Pro w/ xfire mode on default (maybe even add the xfire bar temporarily, I use gpu shark to tell me what % each gpu is at). I tested this last nite and in warzones I see roughly 45+ fps (minimums) when in full action and that's with insane AA turned on. If you are only running on a single card that would explain the results. If you have dual monitors have 2 instances of gpu-z or alternatively the radeon pro xfire bars (just to make sure you are in fact using both gpu's).
Just tested last nite, I seem to be leveling via pvp now ... skipped a couple of planets so far (might need to start another alt to actually do the content). Huttball seems to be the worst in regards to fps, usually in the 50's with a dips to mid 40's (didn't affect playability just a lower number ... whatever it works).
Edit: As an aside you can run the char selection at 90FPS with 8xAA on a single card. So with no AA I would hazard to guess you would see 100FPS.
Umm...AA is disabled in the game right now. They are going to add it into the "Wraith of the Rakhghouls" patch tomorrow is my understanding. In the graphics prefs, there are no links to AA, only to setting textures, character textures, etc.
As for the performance issues: I am running a Macbook Pro to play it at work when Im not on my system at home, and on a radeon 6750m single card, I get around 30-40fps in the Warzones, as low as about 25 in certain in door areas (like the jedi temple) and around 65-70fps outdoors. This is all at 1920x1200 with settings on med-high. I only put down about 7000 in Vantage. Your guys systems should be curb stomping my frame rates.
One of our guildies is running a desktop i7 k2600 with a stock GeForce 560ti and claiming that my settings he's maxed at 110fps all the time.
Ill be honest, there are some odd things with the graphics performance. Many of us have been keeping up with the chat in the TOR forums regarding Bioware disabling the high settings and calling "Medium" their new "High." Im not sure what the deal is, it could be that there engine is just not refined yet and that fps drops are a result of the engine struggling in certain environments.
But when many of you are running Vantage scores 4x what my MBP puts down, I would think you guys would kill my fps.
AA is forced through driver, still works. Very excited about client side AA though.
Edit: I guess I should have finished my thought. With No AA it runs smoothly at much higher FPS with a few micro stutters here and there. I'm perfectly happy with 60FPS +/- A LOT of variation, as long as I get my 8xAA and 16xAniso.
Booo PVP and AA patch cancelled. The only two things I was really looking forward to.
Edit: Booo == YAY!
We wanted to let you know that we have rescheduled weekly maintenance for eight hours on January 18th, 2012 from 2AM CST (12AM PST/3AM EST/8AM GMT/9AM CET) until 10AM CST (8AM PST/11AM EST/4PM GMT/5PM CET). This downtime is in preparation for our first major game update, Rise of the Rakghouls! All game servers and SWTOR.com will be offline during this period. This maintenance is expected to take no more than eight hours, but could be extended.
Game Update 1.1, Rise of the Rakghouls, is the first of what will be many regularly-scheduled content updates for the game. With this update, expect a vast expansion to the Karagga’s Palace Operation, a brand new Flashpoint called “Kaon Under Siege”, and many more changes!
For more information, check out our Game Update 1.1 news article.
Severs are down as I type this woohoo can't wait to play after the update
BTW level 20 now just got my ship shall I say Game Of The Year completely epic game
Not to get far off topic but as it relates to SWTOR, anyone know or find out what is/will be the minimum graphic's card (presuming an Icore 7 cpu) will run this game smoothly?
I have an Intel Quad Core 6600 CPU and
AMD 4670 gpu desktop at work and it is laggy with lowest settings. Wonder if there is a low power gpu upgrade (the 4670 only draws power thru its slot and no accessory power cord to PS) especially with this AA upgrades from Bioware?
Some folks here said they can run it thru their onboard intel graphics which is suprising?
Not sure on the AMD side but an NVidia GTS 450 (around $100 CAD here) should most likely work, or something similar. No PCI-E power required from what I remember/can see on the specs.
Can't wait for this patch, now my lvl 30 Sage should have a fighting chance leveling in pvp.
Edit: For Oni. Not sure how to make the spoiler button ... hopefully it's not too big.

Awesome stuff
Are you guys still on the Nudist Rebels server if so we need to play together
How do I join the guild
Servers are up yeaaaa. Update game looks strait beautiful with AA
For me it's all about the pvp ... on a pve server of all things. Faster paced and gives me plenty of money and time to send my annoying companions on crafting missions. Managed to get cybertech up to 300+ just between pvp rounds.
From what I have played of the story it's very good (Mass Effect Good), the alien subtext needs to go a little slower as I miss a few words here and there but I love the cut scenes.
Yeah and what I love is that even when you finish each planet they give you an incentive with an epic quest line. Like one of the planets I had to push back a republic invasion. On another I competed with a sith chick to kill the rebellion (Taris) after I flirted with her at the end she succumbed to my sexyness so I killed her !
Came back broke so im running on my old 5400 RPM drive again.
dell did replace the mobo and chassis though so im not totally pissed. After two months of issues though, im gonna see if they can just get me a replacement cause this thing is having more and more issues
Since this thread has folks who run SWTOR on M18x systems, I figure I'll ask this here - have you run into many disconnect issues, specifically Error Code 9000? I get them randomly (cannot replicate) and half the time, it kills my entire internet connection (Windows shows the connection dropping, and this is the ONLY time I see this happening). Intel Wifi card and Atheros GB NIC. Wifi shouldn't matter though, as it's wired to my Netgear router.
And let me be clear - this is the only application where I see random disconnects. Steam doesn't have issues, WoW doesn't, LOTRO doesn't, etc. Therefore, there's something wonky with my system and how it behaves with SWTOR. Figured I'd ask here since, as I said, you folks are running similar systems to mine.
All drivers are current, as is the firmware on my router. Speedtests to random locations all show pretty consistent results (20-30MB download speeds - I'm on cable).
Help me Notebookreview-Forum Kenobi, you're my only hope.
Not really specific to the m18x my friend has the same problem too. We tried pretty much everything including flashing NIC to get this stop. The only thing I can suggest is to try it wired (bypass router) instead of wireless (just in case your router is being silly). Might be a router firewall setting.
yea that's what i would do just to test. if it is the router you could try port forwarding. ill try and find the ports to add here in a second and post them for you.
Edit: The port numbers that are required are 8995, 12000-12999 and 20000-30000 (TCP). If you need some help with port forwarding,
this might help as well.
hope this fixes it for you.
A port-forwarding is only necessary for
incoming connections. Since SWTOR is not a server, but a client that makes connections to a server, you don't need to explicitly open incoming ports to make it work. In fact, you couldn't, because outgoing ports are always chosen at random. By default, all outgoing connections are allowed by home routers, and NAT keeps track of the connections via outgoing port number, so it knows which computer inside the LAN made which request to which server.
The only opening of ports should be to allow outgoing connections in a firewall or something, but a port forwarding shouldn't be necessary, not for the game itself anyways.
WoW needed this, but only because it's patching mechanism is peer-to-peer based, meaning other players connected to
YOUR machine to get the patch data. From what I see, the patches download nice and fast for SWTOR, suggesting a centralized patching system, and not a decentralized P2P method, further negating the need to forward ports.
Like somebody mentioned before, connect your cable modem directly to your computer using ethernet and play the game. If you still have the issue then its ISP/Computer related.
Try changing wireless bands. I have the same problem at my house if I use the 2.4Ghz B/G/N bands and found out it was my microwave (among other things) that would interfere with the band.
5Ghz while having a shorter range tends to not suffer the same interference issues.
Yep, I think most people don't realize that just because the Wireless card is an 'N' card, and is connected at 300mbps or whatever - it might not be using the 5ghz band at all. *Cough*Dell1501*Cough*
Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
who knows how long the rest of the work they have to do on my system is gonna take at this point. I wanna get it back so i can play some games!!!!
