When i load up the game the texture quality of the clothing/armor is only in the low poly version and not the high quality despite my settings

#

pls help

copper thistle
#

Is it just the clothing textures that are low quality? Are they blurry looking? Are there other objects in the game that are like that?

glacial condor
#

its only the clothing textures on any character

#

everything else is perfect

copper thistle
#

And they were high quality before the recent patch?

glacial condor
#

yuppers

#

only experianced this today

#

i wish i could spell...

copper thistle
#

Do you have the name of one of the pieces?

glacial condor
#

one sec

#

Reopening my game. It's even low poly in the select screen which is super odd.

glacial condor
copper thistle
#

And it's still only the armor that's wonky? You said the select screen was a bit off?

glacial condor
#

It's even in the game

copper thistle
#

Are you a subscriber?

glacial condor
#

It's only the armor, the character itself is fine

glacial condor
#

Even the weapons are high quality

copper thistle
#

I've seen a few other people reporting some oddities with textures on armor and elsewhere.

I would suggest making a note of your current graphics settings and the names of the pieces affected. Then submit a report in game via /bug and provide that info.

glacial condor
#

Poor camera work but the textures are all meshed together

copper thistle
#

Doesn't seem like there's an immediate workaround I can find.

glacial condor
#

It's literally every armor piece

copper thistle
#

What about ones you can preview from the Cartel Market?

glacial condor
#

I'll check that rn

#

See the low poly, it's like 2008 looking lol

#

It depends on the item

#

On the market placement

#

Some are low poly, some aren't

copper thistle
#

Gotcha. Okay, intead of the item names, include your settings and some notes on your computer specs.

glacial condor
#

The Sa'har isn't low poly, but Darth Malgus is

I too have this issue, might just not play until I can buy better shit to strong arm it into working via money being thrown at the problem until it fades.

radiant sphinx
#

#

#

Hey I may have found a fix for this. Heres what I did

  1. Go in the search bar and search "dxdiag"
  2. Wait and click "Save all information", and open that text file
  3. Control F and find "Dedicated Memory", find the number. For example mine is 128mb
  4. Navigate to your swtor settings folder (Users, Appdata, Local, SWTOR, swtor, settings)
  5. Find "client_settings.ini" and open it up in notepad
  6. Scroll down to "MinspecVramCutoffMB" and change the number to your number above
  7. Save and exit and open the game.

I can't guarantee that this will work but it worked for me, hopefully BW fixes this bug soon

glacial condor
terse elm
#

can do

#

dunno what he means by settings

#

stuck at 4 lol

#

@tawdry grove

#

if you could give me a hand Im lost

tawdry grove
#

sure

#

Im assuming you're on windows

terse elm
#

correct

#

step 4

#

I have my number

#

128mb also

#

I've got swtor via it's launcher

#

where do we go from here

glacial condor
terse elm
#

bare in mind im a simpleton when it comes to pc lol

glacial condor
#

Lmao same here

tawdry grove
#

If you go to your folders, you should see a section called This PC on the left, at the bottom should be your hard drive (in my case its an ssd)

terse elm
#

ok

tawdry grove
#

After clicking on whichever it is, scroll down to the users folder, and click on that, select whichever user you use for your pc

terse elm
#

on it

#

done

tawdry grove
#

after that it should show a lot of folders, find the one called Appdata. If might be a hidden folder.

If thats the case go to the top, find "View" and there should be a section called view hidden folders

terse elm
#

ok

#

ok on it

tawdry grove
#

From appdata go to local and scroll to SWTOR

terse elm
#

what if its' not there....

tawdry grove
#

is there no swtor folder?

terse elm
#

nopd

copper thistle
#

If you use your PC search bar and type in %appdata% it'll also get you there.

terse elm
#

isnt there

#

.

tawdry grove
#

I had that problem in the past when I also used launcher swtor

#

Honestly Im not sure how to help on that end

#

You might need to look into that part yourself

#

Only advice I can give is either making sure hidden files are enabled, checking other user profiles using the same steps and checking any other hard drives

terse elm
#

ok

#

Ok

#

i got it

radiant sphinx
#

Idk wht he said.

terse elm
#

@tawdry grove It worked.

#

Wow you're brilliant

#

well done

#

Now I've got the flashing rending issue to deal with,

#

I can fix that with the compatability thing correct?

#

Any guides you can link me to fix it?

#

Then my game will be great

#

I play on a laptop though the level of beauty my game has once again is amazing

#

no more blurr it's so pretty

tawdry grove
#

but yeah Im pretty sure I know how to do that to

terse elm
#

It's something like you gotta set Swtor.exe

#

and one other to same comp

#

just not sure which ones it is

#

im looking myself but if you know lmk

tawdry grove
#

i think its launcher.exe and swtor.exe or something

terse elm
#

thats it

#

need to figure which one will be best

#

best compat

#

also is swtor.exe just swtor

tawdry grove
#

in the folder where launcher.exe is theres a swtor folder, then a retailclient folder, and in there is swtor.exe which may just be called swtor

#

I never had the flashing rendering issue so I honestly don't know what may happen if you change settings around but im pretty sure these would be the files to change

terse elm
#

ok

#

lets see

glacial condor
tawdry grove
#

I would not, sorry

glacial condor
#

All good

#

I'll see if I can do it by reading this

tawdry grove
#

yeah if you have questions ill do my best to answer them

glacial condor
#

wheres the dx file...

radiant sphinx
#

Thx

#

Its fix

glacial condor
#

im inept 😭

radiant sphinx
glacial condor
#

step 1...

radiant sphinx
#

Next to windows there is Search bar click it

#

And type

#

dxdiag

glacial condor
#

ok

#

got it

#

its opened

radiant sphinx
#

When you are in there is a button called "Save all information" and open that as text file.

glacial condor
#

did that

radiant sphinx
#

Then you press ctrl F in the text file and go find "Dedicated Memory", find the number. For example mine is 128mb

glacial condor
#

ok mines the same

radiant sphinx
#

And step 4 is on youtube to make you more understanding

#

Just follow the process until you are at

#

The notepad

#

Scroll down to "MinspecVramCutoffMB" and change the number to your number above

#

That is at notepad

glacial condor
#

i cant find the appdata part

#

nvm

#

my computer, and me are equally dumb

radiant sphinx
#

Here

#

Go to search bar again

#

And type

#

%appdata%

glacial condor
#

i got that part

#

it just didnt come up the first 3 times...

radiant sphinx
#

I see

glacial condor
#

i think im at the notepad part

#

glacial condor
radiant sphinx
#
