brendan03 Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 Hi -- I have a p4, 256k with an ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 video card. The game works fine, except that (1) only non-humanoid faces show up (ie, calamari, etc.) -- the humanoid faces are all without skin, and look like the wires underneath an android's cover. Also, periodically a face, human looking, flashes in the upper left hand corner of the screen for 1-2 seconds -- doesn't seem to be related to the game, and has happened with different characters on different servers. Has anyone else come across this malfunction in the game? Is there some virus or something like that at play here? Thanks for your help!
gog marduk Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 you opened the force sensitive slot thats your trainer tryin to talk at ya hehe j/k no never heard of that sounds like a bad install.
Teeb Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 I have the same Video card... You need install the latest drivers for the card from http://www.ati.com Happened to me when I first built my new computer... funny thing is it took me a week to notice because I had on a composite helmet, and was out hunting in the far corners of Dantooine..lol
Diables Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 I have ATI radeon 32mb video card and the same thing happens. And I only get 1 fps most of the time. I can't wait until I can afford a better card.

You need install the latest drivers for the card from http://www.ati.com Thanks Teeb, No more weird looking faces and it did help my fps out a little. I get around 4 fps better now but sometimes, especially in city, I still get 1 fps. And all my graphic options are turned all the way down. I play on my nephews machine sometimes and he looks like he is in a rain forest with all the bushes, trees, flowers, weeds, etc... I have a few bushes around me and all dirt. I always look like I'm in the desert.
Teeb Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 No problem... For the first 2 months I was playing I was on a P3 550mhz, 384mb SDRAM, with my Radeon 7500 lol Wanna talk about plain environments? I didn't get to see or really hear anything.. Now I'm on a 1.7 gig P4, with 512 DDR, and my Radeon 7500... at first I had the flashing face, and wire mesh faces problem... then updated the drivers.. Now it's alot nicer, I can see the detail on things, I can hear the detail in the music...
Diables Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 I have 1.4 gb processor and 512 k memory so I know my problem is video. Last night I was downloading a large file at the same time I was playing and I did not notice a difference so I know its not my cable modem. and I started with 384 memory and when I upgraded to 512 I didn't notice a difference.
Aschar Posted October 24, 2003 Posted October 24, 2003 Wow...I glad I found this thread... This started a couple of days ago: I notice it only on humanoid faces...not droid wires, but a forest scene on my (Twi'lek) face and on human faces NPCs and players alike... I submitted a ticket/bug report last night, but will try to update my Nvidia FX drivers... Thnx!
boinga1 Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 I had this exact problem a few weeks back, but....now it's gone...and I don't know if it fixed when I updated or because of a patch.
Aschar Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 Well...I found on the SOE Tech Support site this suggestion: Click the "Options" button on the launchpad, then select the "Advanced" tab. Check to see if the "Disable Texture Backing" box is checked. If it is checked, uncheck it. Apply the changes and play again. You should now be able to see textures correctly. I don't know if this'll work...I'll try it when I get home and let ya know... I do believe that I did check this box in the attempt to increase my FPS. Aschar
Colby Salmon Posted October 26, 2003 Posted October 26, 2003 I have a 2200 AMD Atholon XP chip, 512 DDR ram, and a GeForce Fx5200, but I still get some lag problems, even though I have a cable line. Insight anyone?
brendan03 Posted October 27, 2003 Author Posted October 27, 2003 Thanks everyone. AFter some hunting I was able to install the upated driver and the textual problems are now gone. On the lags, I have noticed considerably greater lags in places where there are many other players. On Naboo, for example, I walked all around the relatively empty Keedara Peak without any lag whatsoever, but trying to walk a comparable distance in parts of Theed (eg, the areas around the cantina and starport, where there are many trainers and merchants) engendered quite a bit of lag. Also I've gotten much more lag on the more populated servers than on the less populated ones.
Colby Salmon Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 Yeah, same here. and when I enter a cave or a building, everythin speeds up. Wish my game would go that fast on the planet surface.
