Back of the Box

SWTOR - The Galactic Republic stood for generations as a bastion of peace in a galaxy of warring star systems. Protected by its stalwart Jedi guardians, the Republic held the greatest hope for the progress of civilization and galactic unity.
Deep in unknown space, however, a mighty Sith Empire was forged, led by dark Sith Lords who dreamt of galactic domination and vengeance against their ancient Jedi enemies. After centuries of preparation, the time came for the Sith to make their return.
With a massive fleet and an awe-inspiring army of fearless troops, the Sith Emperor launched a surprise assault, quickly capturing dozens of worlds in the Outer Rim, and sparking a war unlike any other in the galaxys history.

medium with 40+fps without recording and 30 fps with recording

Hello everyone this game seems weird. I have my pc updated and his games can't seem to run right on my rig no matter what the configs are. I have an awful quality of fps which causes stuttering. I've tried every settings and it doesn't change anything.

It is definitely not internet problem, i suppose you have one of those viruses that slow down your CPU and GPU and they lower the ability to play games, thats what happened me, i couldn't even play CrossFire MMO game ---____---
but you can solve it by letting your antivirus FULL scan your compu
