New video card.
Update video driver.
More ram.
Turn off shadows.
Turn down detail.

For this game, I rebuilt my PC, then added in a 128mb video card. It
made a big difference.

CH

k. um got 1 gig ram 1.81 cpu speed amd and 256mb video card.
remember reading somehwere on swg site that they advise diabling certain
things but cant remember where that is.

any help would be appreciated
got the latest driver day or so ago

With that system information, I'm not sure it's a problem with the game or
your system components. Have you done a search for viruses and/or spyware?
It may not be what's causing the problem, but it certainly couldn't hurt.
If you don't have up to date anti virus software, there's a free, online
scanner at:

housecall.antivirus.com (Trend Micro) or several free Anti Virus packages
you can install such as AVG or Avast.

For Spyware checks if you're not familiar you may want to try AdAware
(www.lavasoftusa.com) and Spybot Search and Destroy 1.4 (I get it from
www.download.com).

Can't guarantee this will do anything, but if you don't normally check your
system for it, it can't hurt to check.

I'm at work so I can't check my Client for what the things to disable in the
Options are, but I think Use High Detail Textures is one and Disable World
Pre-loading may be another. If you don't mind the characters looking
horribly undetailed, you may want to try Checking (or unchecking, don't
remember which) Use Low Detail Characters.

I hope this helps. I wouldn't mess with checking/unchecking anything until
done scanning though. Just so you don't mess anything up accidentally.

Like the others said, a new videocard and at least 1gig ram will do wonders,
but for quick results do the following.

make a macro and put it in your toolbar. The macro must be like this:

/FlushGraphics Fullreset

When entering a city or crowded place, activate the macro. It will increase
your FPS

SWG has been designed to maximize use of processor and video card. It
used the processor for fractal rendering, the video card for textures.

That being said, a better video card might not make that big of a
difference. Case in point, I have a Athlon XP 2800 w/1 GB ram. I
bought a NVIDIA 6800GT, that I OC'd. Net change in performance = not
much.

In order to really see improvement you have to have:
-Fast fast processor
-fast video card
-lots of ram

If you don't have all three your perf will vary greatly and lag a lot.

LAG = NETWORK latency !!!

I am wondering what people calling lag all the time. And the worst thing
is: I do it myself sometimes. You don't get lag because your CPU/Videoboard
is slow, because you don't have enough ram or something. You get LAG,
because of the server/client dropping packets, being not able to handle
huge amounts of players or the internet just being slow.

LAG = NETWORK latency
