It seems better to share this on their forums instead. The community isn’t something I’m comfortable with. I’m trying to play SWTOR on a Lenevo Ideapad 110 with those specs: Intel I3-6100U, Intel HD Graphics 520, 128MB dedicated RAM, and 4GB DDR3L at 1066MHz. At low settings I get 10-15 FPS, same as high settings. Interestingly, my older PC with a weaker iGPU ran it smoothly at 60 FPS on the lowest level. The game won’t close itself, and there’s severe audio distortion and stuttering. People say it’s due to limited dedicated RAM, but does the iGPU actually share its memory? If someone has a working fix, that would be great! Otherwise, I’m really frustrated.

Verify Render Scale is at 100% and resolution matches your needs. If adjustments aren't possible, you'll need to purchase a graphics card. I suggest this option: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...-_-Product

I own a laptop, so I can't install graphics cards. The Intel HD 520 should handle SWTOR well. I tested it on an AMD HD 7560D at the lowest settings, achieving around 60fps, while the HD 520 was about 40% more capable.

Ah, sorry. It must just be a difference in the power of the iGPU. Intel's isn't really meant for gaming while AMD's APU's have more powerful integrated graphics. I'm afraid you're out of luck unless someone else can come up with a solution.

It's interesting you can handle complex strategy games but struggle with simpler ones. That shows your skills vary a lot!

It seems the focus is mainly on the GPU aspect, likely influencing the overall direction.
