Bad view distance and animation frames
Hey with the 3.3.2 update the view distance and animation, did take a big hit. Npc and items are popping in right next to you. Even items that you need to loot, will only pop op when you are next to...

I'm noticing the similar issue...
Loading screens and overall fps is good but... NPCs? They're faltering, stuttering, moving like 2f/sec. Before the patch I could play on high settings without a problem (my laptop is not that old, can run Inquisition). But now even on the lowest settngs and after reinstalling the game the mobs (all of them and everywhere) are still stuttering. Now I can't even play without getting a headache and a month of subcribtion went in vain because I can't play story or do any fps. I've been on the old forum with the same issue but they (bioware) ignore it completely =\
Still no answer from EA or Bioware.
The NPCs are still faltering, the sky in PVP BG Alderaan is still black, Voidstar has still one invisible Bridge etc.
These issues started with the latest patch!
Can we please get an answer if Bioware has noticed these issues and is maybe working on a solution.
Many thanks. 🙂
Having same issues as all have stated above.
Issues started with last patch.
Have checked my pc over and have tried multiple video configurations in game.
Im not sure about others in this forum, but it has ruined my playing experience. The laggy npc animations are just to jarring.
As a poster has stated above we have had no feedback on this issue from Bioware or EA.
I can appreciate the fact they may have a lot on their plate right now with an expansion about to launch.
If they maybe have a moment, a look into this issue with some heads up or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
A fix, well that would be even better!
I fixed my cutscene problem by turning shadowmapping all the way down but there's still a ton of issues with NPCs and nothing from BW

Hello everyone,
While this does appear to be affecting many of you and is potentially unrelated to your specific setup, we will still need to gather some data to assist the studio in looking into this further:
- Your DxDiag
- Your current graphic settings, available in your client_settins.ini file, by default located here: %localappdata%\swtor\swtor\settings
Cheers,
Nils
I think you'll have to be patient until 4.0 hits the servers Tuesday 20th
Having the same problems. They started for me last night when I logged on to play. I kept thinking I somehow had too many windows open, or somehow something else bit was running in the background but nothing was. I'm not sure what the deal is. I normally average 50+ fps, but it's sitting at max 20 while standing still in my ship. But no matter where I go, it doesn't get much higher. i'm not going to play with it like this.
Shame since this is the last week of 12xp. I hope they get it fixed. Trying to finish off two more toons. Very disappoint atm.

This is a different issue discussed in this thread, the issue is to do with the draw distance of ingame items and NPCs appearing at a short distance and their animations
Reduced fps in the ship , can you start a new thread and post a dxdiag and mention if you have monitored temps of the CPU and GPU and what they are initially.
