i'll give it a go, pretty sure i done it already but at this point i'm gonna try anything possible.
attached a screenshot of my frame rate when i am on the fleet, total rubbish, 30 fps, and the game isn't even using all my GPU, lucky to see it bump to 50% usage, and the temps are totally fine >.<
been using MSI afterburner to keep an eye on my GPU and CPU and when playing SWTOR both CPU and GPU barely even crack 50% in usage, no over heating either, the game doesn't even over tax the card, or even fully use it at all, really odd.
If you're still playing, are you having this issue still? I came back a couple weeks ago also with a fresh install on a "newer" computer (2 years old). When there wasn't anybody around me doing anything the game ran fine, but certain actions caused the video to lag so hard it appeared the game was locking up.
I found out that the problem was with the healing ability "Diagnostic Scan" which caused my video to lock up during the entire time it was being channeled. I disabled it on all my companions and respec'd and took it off my operative's toolbar. I think there's a bounty hunter ability that causes this too, but since companions only have diagnostic scan it isn't a huge issue.
I have been unable to really fix it and the customer service email told me to search the database even though I indicated I already had in my ticket. I will look into some of the suggested fixes in this thread though. Thanks for the information and good luck 🙂
