SWTOR-Jerky game

Hi, i have pretty big problem.
When i play SWTOR, my game is.. jerky, like, i can't even move in "one motion", and when i gain new lvl, game froze for a moment totaly, and when i get into fight, its more and more jerky, and Flash Points are jerky as hell, i can barely move.
fps are almost nonstop in red numbers, but my net connection is OK and other games are ok too, only SWTOR appears to have these problems..
HELP, PLEASE.
Btw. my English is not exactly good, so if you need to know something more, i just probably forget to write it here, so ask me.
I'll greatful for any help, i would like to play this game again..

    First the Colours for the fps are to indicate if the process is more CPU or GPU dependent, red is for CPU and so that is not really an problem.

    To get the Game to run more smoothly, set all Shadow Settings on low, and then get them step by step higher until you get an good result.

    Thanks for reaction, i appreciate every help!! 🙂)

    But i already tryed it, all settings in game, on low, game was smoother only during travels, for some time, then it was the same as before..

    But i think that game was smoother just because i travelled through empty and simple areas, i guess..

    Since it has happened to me a few times already, did you scroll down in the graphic settings explicit Shadow Map is one of the most taxing settings.

    If that doesn't solve it give us your system specs; CPU, RAM, Graphic Card...

    What do you have running in the background while playing?

    I always shut down pretty much everything, except microsoft security essential and Advanced system care..

    • Core i5-2410M, 4GB RAM
    • 320GB 5400rpm HDD

    If I see these correctly your System is an Laptop and near the System requirement.

    If your System goes warm it will get fast slower.

    Swtor as most MMOs is very CPU depended and Laptops are not really the best to play Games.

    You could try to clean up your System and get an external cooling, for more help wait a little there are people here who are a lot better with the tech side.

    If I Play on my Laptop I sometimes use an cooling battery under it to hold the heat in check. (Samsung had a bad problem with overheating)
