    ok so i was finally able to try playing with nvidia thingy displaying my fps.  throughout the entire mission in the woods/forest in the beginning of the game, i get a solid 35-40 fps regardless of decreasing the resolution to anything lower than 3440x1440, or disabling all the effects but as soon i got to fly the tie fighter, i started getting 95-100fps. so it must just be the forest mission thats damaged. i heard of a similar issue with the 2nd tomb raider game a few years back. everyone, even with the fastest gpu's couldnt run the forest mission without constant stuttering or low fps. funny thing is, back then i was able to run the tomb raider forest mission fine with my 2 gig amd radeon 6970m lol must have only affected nvidia users at the time.  i also updated to nvidias latest driver today which didnt do for the forest mission but is working great with the tie fighter flying mission. ill post back as i progress through the game more. thanx!

thank you for your response!! i have also tried disabling the origin overlay as i do with steam and uplay also bc they are known to cause issues. i also recorded a game clip showing the slow motion in action but it was too large to upload here or anywhere for that matter. i can try again by reducing the recording quality. there are a few other posts with the exact same complaints as me. slow motion character movement, wonky controls at least for the drone in the begging part. i recently installed the game and then rcvd an update for it. some say its the recent update that s causing these issues but im unsure how to revert to the previous build, something very easy to do with steam of course.

@acuraice- have you tried repair in Origin? If the last update was corrupted, this might fix it. The quality of the video doesn't worry me, I just wan't to see how the character moves. You may try a clean boot of your PC to see if any other program is interfering.  In your task manager clip, I saw that the game itself was using 88% CPU.  What is using the most of the remainder?

The Anakin update is coming out today (27th). Install it and see if your problem changed.

    yes sir, i have tried to repair the game through origin many times, same result of course. hopefully with this new anakin update it will magically fix as these types of issues do sometimes with updates. ill report back if its any better after the update

    only a few tasks run in the background that dont put a dent in my 32 gigs of ddr4 ram. its the game that chews up to 100% with running with only windows system processes running in the background. i have disabled almost all of the annoying useless bloatware crap that comes with windows and indexing is also turned off to maximize performance. power saving mode is disabled and pwm mode is enabled in the bios. this computer is blazingly fast and plays any game on ultra settings but for some reason this game runs in slow motion as many others have also reported.

      @acuraice 

      This is an "outside of the box" idea. Pull up task manager & go to the details tab. Right click on SWBFII and click on "set affinity". Deselect "all processors" and reduce the number selected to 8 or less. Windows will allocate it's resources to the other cores. If there is no difference, you can return the selections to original.

      Also, you might right click on the task manager processes tab and select GPU adding this column. You will be able to see what load your GPU is taking.

      What are your FPS when the problem happens?
