FIX for post-patch FPS issues

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Well I wouldnt have thought so... but I did this without rebooting, and it didnt work. Mosg and I walked through it, and neither of us could really understand why... im not saying there may have been some user error in there somewhere...lol But this is what worked. It may be redundant, but it worked.

Interesting. Maybe one of the processes doesn't actually die when you close the GUIs. Bizarre, either way.

Navigate to your C:\Users\<youraccount>\AppData\Local\SWTOR folder and delete the DiskCacheStatic and DiskCacheStream files and then go into the settings folder there and delete all your client_settings.ini files. If you had ISBoxer virtualize them there will be one for each of your characters. You might have to run the Launcher Repair tool in your SWTOR folder to get the game to launch error free following this operation. Also, you will need to launch the game and reset your graphics settings to Windowed (Fullscreen) because when the launcher remakes those .ini files it will reset it to Fullscreen.

I dont have the folder "appdata" and there is nothing like it in there

Press Windows key + R to pop up the run dialog, then type in "%appdata%" and it should put you in that folder. You probably have "Hide protected operating system files" and "Don't show hidden files, folders and drives" options enabled, which will hide it from you if you just try to explore there.

Thanks, I checked for the DiskCacheStatic and DiskCacheStream, neither of which were in the folder. I even searched the HD for them. Will I not get as good a performance bump if those files weren't there to begin with?

I can not find this folder either.. I'm getting crappy performance running 4.. My PC is overkill for this game, so I'm sure its not that.


edit.. i figured this out ( i was "admin" not "user" ) This fix did not fix anything for me, my fix was found and posted in another thread >>> http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/4...ound-a-FPS-Fix

For you guys that can't see the folders, try going to " C:\Users\<youraccount> " (without the quotes) then click in the address bar at the top of the screen and type " \appdata " (again, without the quotes) next press enter. from there you should be able to see the rest of the folders. Hope this helps.

I upgraded my RAM right as the patch came out. Thought I might have messed something up in the upgrade process. Thanks to you guys I know it wasn't me and everything works great now. Also, I had to delete everything in the settings folder to get it to work for me. Don't know if it helped but i did restart my comp as Apps suggested. Thanks all.

To see the appData folder you have to turn on hidden files.

Control Panel
Folder Options
Click on the View tab
Near the top is Hidden Files/Folders and such... enable it.

Deleted the files but still get low FPS. On my main I get a max of 15, and on the alts its like 7. I have all settings as low as possible as well. Totally unplayable :/

doubt its my pc i7 OC to 4.6ghz, nvidia 570gtx etc

Doh, the fix worked for me for about 2 days. Afterward, It went back to being really crappy FPS. My system isn't the best but it can pull off more than 0.5 FPS on the main.

EDIT: I think I found out what happened. I had all the graphics settings to low with no grass on both characters. After I changed the anti-aliasing to high on my main (the game just looks so much better without all the jagged edges) the FPS issue came back. I am going to delete the files and start over but this time keep my graphics settings the same on both. I'll keep ya posted. Hope this helps someone.

The anti-aliasing thing worked. Hope this helps someone else.
