how is the game so far???

hello all!!!!
i played the beta test during the thankgiving weekend. and one of the major issues was with very low to basically unplayable fps issues with all types of computers low to high end. so had all these issues been fixed? i plan on getting the game in a few weeks, just to let the servers cool down a bit.

so i would just like to hear your thaughts.
thank you

I didn't have any lag issues during that stress-test weekend, and I still don't during early access. I'm running a mid-range Radeon card.

The only thing I have noticed is that the game client overall is not as stable as STO has been for me. After a couple hours of playing, there were some hiccups that made me think "memory leak," and when I finally shut down the game, it took a forced close (or is the Force Close?).

I even play it in a windowed mode, because full screen was even more unstable to switch between game and other programs. You usually don't expect windowed to have a great frame rate, but it has been seamless for me.

I have never had any issues of any kind for the last few builds. there was a flight fps issue on coruscant near the senate building but that was long since fixed.
my system is not super high end but it is not a wimp either.

so even now with everything turned to max ( and shadows on) i have zero issues.

I was wondering about the shadows, I am glad they fixed it, it was so distorting in beta. It seems that shadows do it for me, cause it just looked wrong without any shades anywhere.

I'm running a rig that was high-end maybe 3-4 years ago (nVideo 295 video card, i7 Intel quad-core processor) and was running around with graphics set to max last night with very few noticeable slowdowns.

I had one or two, but suspect it has more to do me running on a 2-or-so-year old install and hiccups of my system rather than related to the game itself.

There does appear to be a few UI bugs still around: my characters portrait had all kinds of black "artifacting" at one point late in my gaming session last night, my Guild UI window got stuck showing only ONE person in the Guild unless I opened the Detail view before the server crashed, and heard a few other ran into issues related to the chat channel(s).

Speaking of which... what are the odds we get assigned the one and only server to crash on the first day of Early Access?!

Im running a high end notebook with dual 580Ms in SLI and a solid state III drive. So far, this is BY FAR the most stable launch I have ever played. I have had zero slow down, zero lag, and absolutely no crashes to desktop. While I've been on, I haven't seen the server come down once. I'm going to test on a weaker Desktop that has a Nvidia 550TI card tonight, but something tells me Ill be able to still play the game on max with that. Worst case is that Ill get another one of those cards for like $130.

I didn't have any lag issues in Beta and it's fine now as well. I do have a $120 Radeon card in my Quad Core that's so fancy it looks like Bail Organa's airspeeder though.
