Stuttering and FPS drops in SWTOR

[balmy pecan]

Hello there, I have been having a consistent stutter/freeze issue no matter of my graphic settings it seems. I am getting stutters in these certain scenarios :

-Opening bags = Stutter/Freeze for a second (this is the most annoying one)
-Stutters when near more than 5-10 people
-Stutters when turning fast
-some FPS drops in all these scenarios as well

I’m curious if there are any known fixes or known reasons why this happens? I have done some research my self and I have only essentially found people saying “ Old engine “.

Specs:
i7 12th gen
3070ti
64g ram
2x Brand new M.2 NVME SSD
2560x1440

I have tested medium/high and ultra, vsync on and off as well.

try playing in fullscreen window mode, , just to be sure you can only turn vsync on/off in fullscreen mode
be sure windows power options are on high performance

but certain UI windows opening will have a pause due to the engine
but you should not get stutters turning fast if vsync is off, if you want to use vsync in the nvidia control panel alter vsync to fast either in the global setting or in the game profile in the nvidia control panel , as just set to "on" even its tooltip says can cause stutter
