FPS issues in Star Wars: The Old Republic

[knowledge2121]

Why does SWTOR have a limit of 30 fps when video quality is set to high ? while other video quality modes offer higher fps's ?

Vsync? Thats the only thing I can think of atm.

Hey,

if you are sure your hardware can provide higher frame rate than 30 FPS and you think you might be limited by some settings try this:

1. Enter the game and adjust the settings to the ones you want.
2. Exit the game and go to C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\SWTOR\swtor\settings and check for a file called client_settings.ini
3. Open the file with Notepad or similar and find the line RefreshRate = xx (xx will be some number; probably 30 in your case). Change the xx (the number there) to whatever refresh rate you want for example RefreshRate = 60. Save and exit notepad.
4. Start the game and see if it has solved your problem.
