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...

Community AdminHello 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

So here's my DxDiag and my graphic settigs.
I have a feeling that my laptop (video card?) is no longer enough for the game which is weird, because previously it could run the game pretty smoothly. Hope I don't need to buy new computer to enjoy Kotfe =\

@KoshSan Hi,
Looking at your DxDiag, I noticed that you have both a NVIDIA GeForce GT 635M card and a Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 chip in your system. It appear as if the Intel one is being used as default. Can you check in your Windows & GPU settings whether the NVIDIA one is correctly configured to be used when you start Star Wars: The Old Republic?
Let us know how you get on.
Cheers,
Nils
Thanks for the tip! My computer used NVIDIA for swtor but I "reapplied" it one more time.
The gameplay became more tolerable but now suffers overall fps (along with less but still stuttering NPCs) even on the lowest settings. I played KOTFE on early access yesterday and noticed some lags and fps drop especially during [Heroic 2+ flashpoints] and some cutscenes. I wonder what settings would be optimal for my computer or is it too old for the stuff?
The view distance and animation frames are likely what others are seeing as well , I have seen this reported a lot.
however to try and get the game running a bit better step through the same things here , ignore the windows power option you are on high performance already
The pre -rendered frames may help with stuttering , disabling scale name plates may also help with stuttering if persisting.
