solve the 'jumping fps - high ping ' problem
TSR-BillC's standard performance check
1. Disable world pre-loading in the game options menu.
2. Vertex / pixel shading to from 2.0 to 1.4, 1.1 or disabled.
3. Check "Use low detail Textures" under the Advanced Section.
4. Check "Use low detail Meshes" under the Advanced Section.
5. Disable sound via the Game options section of the SWG launch pad.
6. Shut down all background programs that are not needed. A.K.A Cleanboot.
7. If you have a firewall enabled, please disable.
In some instances removing the firewall from the system has improved performance.
Remember if one chooses to do this that the system will need to be rebooted in order
for the settings to take effect.
8. Check to be sure you are free of spyware/viruses.
9. Disable background downloads or "BITS" under the Download Options.
10. And of course make sure you are running the latest supported video card drivers.
*****Most people find success with 1-10, i found success with #11********
11. Unistall Firewall, VirusScan, & Security Center (all McAffee in my case)
Defragment PC
Full Scan when launching SWG
Thats It! I now am back at playing at 30fps and 60ping.
I have since re-installed my VirusScan and Security Center and i continue to play perfect.
Also, when posting on the tech board...first read the stickied "read before posting" and then when you do post, supply all the information requested. My experience with TSR-BillC was fast, prompt and very efficient. I believe it was like this because i followed the instructions they provided to us all when i posted my problem.
