Jamps Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I tried to post this in the Tech Support forum, but it said I don't have permission to use it.... Anyway, I just got Star Wars Galaxies and my computer meets the specs, but it runs horrible. I turn down the graphics and it still freezes. Are there any tricks to get a better framerate, and if not, what do i need to upgrade to make it run good?

Rogue15 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 you definitely need more ram. trust me on that one. when i had 512 ram it took like 5-10 minutes to load and forget mos eisley or theed or even restuss! upgraded to 1 gigabyte and it ran SO much better, even on AOL.

Guest DarthMaulUK Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Your first problem is...... Driver Date/Size: 10/22/2006 12:22:00 Out of date! Grab the latest nvidia drivers http://www.nvidia.com - install then reboot. You might also want to grab the latest version of direct x9c from Microsoft.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamps Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 I found something I hadn't turned down and then I upgraded my graphics drivers. Now it runs great, not on low detail either. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
