Hey @RvanJ
Could you post your full DxDiag report? We might need more information about your hardware to help you out.
Thanks!

Hey folks, I know this is quite an old thread, but I just bought the game recently on steam, and I notice I'm having this same exact issue. Specifically whenever there's a wookiee character on screen, my framerate drops probably >60%. I can tell because if I'm in the character select screen and I select either chewbacca or the wookiee warrior it does so, even without the level loaded in the background. I attached my DxDiag.txt if it helps!

Despite knowing this is a very old report, I've endured this issue since Day 1. I just never reported it because my PC is below minimum specs, so it can be blamed.
So despite the necro I'm here to confirm this is indeed something unchanged since day 1 (or at least since they changed the chewbacca/wookiee models).

My PC specs generally run PS4 games at higher frame rates and better quality then on console. I grabbed Battlefront for PC on a sale, and everything runs pretty decently, even on 'High' for me, but those wookiees... it must be something about their fur physics. It sucks because I certainly would like to be able to use them.
It was a steam purchase though, and with 5 hours in already, no refunds. Maybe if I roll back my Nvidia drivers to some arbitrarily old point, it might fix it. PCs are a pain like that sometimes. Or of course, I'm sure if I had a god-like GPU it would probably be fine.
Something that could technically get around it, but make the game look awful, is the texture filtering thingy. The setting that starts at 100 by default but can go much higher? As you lower it the image gets blurrier. That's one way to not be bugged by wookiees, but it looks like you're running it off a gameboy. xD- 5 years ago

That's weird though. I have this issue in the Selection Screen, in the Podium Screen, and in the Collection Menu. But ingame when either playing with them, or facing them in battle, the framerate isn't affected. I play with every setting on Low, and my PC Specs are below minimum for this game (especially the GPU which is far below the minimum).About that texture filtering option, I'm not sure what you're referring to. There are 4 sliders in the visual settings: Brightness, Field of View, Motion Blur, and Resolution Scale. Which is the one you call texture filtering? I guess Brightness makes no difference at all, Motion Blur I have in 0 and I probably always have, so I've no idea if it affects FPS. But both Field of View and Resolution Scale do interfere, and a lower value is always better for your frame rate. However I'd recommend changing other settings before messing with these 2.
