I can even play WoW in max quality and stream that with xsplit while mining or running around at the station in eve on the second monitor, without any problems at all.<br />Skyrim? 1920x1200, full details, 40fps.<br /><br />But SWTOR? Well, it would be an understatement to say it has some performance issues. I'm running it with the lowest possible details because that is the only way to play without huge input lag/fps losses. And heavon forbid if I try to run anything else besides SWTOR!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-42462800192794044892012-01-12T20:32:45.361-06:002012-01-12T20:32:45.361-06:00It's a thought-provoking point you raise about...It's a thought-provoking point you raise about EVE's player base being more accepting of technical issues. <br /><br />It makes sense to me that an established MMO probably doesn't have the established casual "footfall" that a new entry to the market has, especially a high-profile big IP title like SW:TOR. I think this might explain why the complaints are less high profile. In the case of established titles like EVE Online with a stable player base, a bug is most likely just a tolerable irritant for most subscribers, given that they are established within the game and have reason to find a workaround.<br /><br />Conversely, a new game experience is generally not given that benefit of the doubt by players and disruption to their attempts to find a new gaming comfort zone can quickly result in vitriolic criticism.<br /><br />It's a sad truth of the intolerance of today's internet consumers.<br /><br />I'm not sure whether that is a reflection of the consumers or the developers.<br /><br />Thinkums none the less.
