Extremely bad lag in PVP
Ability lag and player positioning lag is terrible in lvl 65 PVP (Harbinger). No where else in the game does this happen. My connection is as stable as it usually is. I've tried mid bracket PVP and i...

Hi Owen,
Sure, I've got some ping plotter jpgs. I just need to get them from my PC to my iPad and I'll post.
they also show big packet loss at those hops as well as errors. It might take a day or so to get them transferred .
I was wondering if you had any thoughts on the actual experiences I'm having with ability activation lag in lvl 65 PVP as well as the jerkiness and player positioning lag? This is not happening in any other part of the game outside of PVP. It does happen in lower lvl PVP and mid lvl, but it is nearly unnoticeable.
Myself and 2 others actually saw a smuggler in Quesh Hutt ball get stunned in the green sludge at the bottom, as soon as this happened he started to glitch for about 2-3 sec's then seemed to teleport through the floor the goal line.
I have seen a lot of this strange stuff going on in the last few weeks, including people flying and shooting through walls, floating above the ground or even half in it and you cannot target them.
I've been assured by people I have asked that this is normal game lag doing this, but I have played PVP since launch and I have never seen lag do this before, especially 6 out of 10 matches.
Have you run a game repair to be sure its not a game file issue ?
Non-Streaming launcher - Log into the launcher but don't click Play. Check for small letters "ST" in the bottom left corner.
If this is NOT present, With the new launcher after login , select the username pulldown on the top right and select settings, then press repair.
Streaming launcher - If the letters "ST" is present, close the launcher, right mouse click on the game shortcut,
select open file location and delete the BitRaider folder. Then start the launcher
Also with the game closed , right mouse click on the game shortcut, select open file location, go into the swtor folder here and delete the file called diskcachearena (don't delete the swtor folder)
Thanks Owen,
ill try try the game repair to make sure. Do you know how long it takes?
In theory it should be fairly quick , it should only download items it requires if it finds issues.
if using the streaming launcher , it will have a small download due to deleting the bitraider folder , deleting that folder is a quick easy way to trigger the repair per here
Tested the repair and nothing to repair.
deleted the file.
still no improvement
just to confirm, this is worst in lvl 65 PVP, nearly unplayable.. Happens in lower PVP, but it's more forgiving at that lvl
