Patch Notes: 1.1.0b – Ability Delay & Performance Improvements
It’s Tuesday morning, and that means the servers are down while BioWare is busy loading up a brand new patch for Star Wars: The Old Republic!
It turns out, this is not yet patch 1.1.1 as expected, but rather 1.1.0b. However, when I took a glance at the fixes, I got really excited. BioWare’s included 2 biggies: improvements for game client performance in certain areas, as well as fixes for the “ability delay” issue!
Anyway, we’ll have to wait until the servers are back up to test, but this is great news for players across the board.
Patch notes follow, and you can always get the latest notes from BioWare’s official page.
1.1.0b Patch Notes – 1/24/2012
General
- Implemented optimizations to improve performance on Republic and Imperial Fleets.
Classes and Combat
- Significantly improved the delay when activating player abilities, particularly when in lower framerate situations. This allows for improved ability responsiveness in hectic combat situations.
