I just bought the total experience at my local walmart and a loong loong time ago i had the 7 day trial of swg and i lagged like hell everytime id jump to a place and it almost everytime either took long enough for me to make a sandiwich or it would boot me i now have a dell with 256 ram and a geforce 2 mx 400 64 mb card im wondering if i pick a low population world will i still lag like hell or should i just take this game back while im ahead?
you need more RAM. the required amount now is 512. you can run the game on less, but it's very very very laggy unless you have at least 512mb, and even then it can get laggy in major cities.
If you're going to buy more RAM, do yourself a favor and get a gig. I have 768 mb of RAM and it's still laggy. I have a Geforce 128mb graphics card & 3 megs download speed cable modem too.
I have 2 gig of ram and the game still lags in starports. I dont think anything u do will fully get rid of it. I also have an Ath 64 FX-55 processor and Geforce 6800GT so I wouldnt have thought I would have any lag, but I do :(.
