Star Wars: The Old Republic


Recommended Posts

I have a question. can I change compatibility on Windows XP on my computer has Windows Vista before I reinstall SWTOR on my laptop?

:blink:

Yes? To be honest I don't know, that sentence doesn't make any sense. You have a computer with Windows Vista and you want to know if you can set SWTOR to XP compatibility?

But you don't need to reinstall a program to set compatibility mode. Find the .exe file and check out the properties, you should be able to set the compatibility mode there.

I don't know if doing that will help you though. Instead I would look in to closing any and all applications that you aren't using when you want to play.

EDIT: Also, turn down all the settings in the game, then slowly start to increase them until you have a decent compromise between speed and beauty.

Do you have dual screen?, This is an easy non-technical way of reviewing your machine.

Load task manager on screen #2 as you play the game on screen #1 - This will show you what area's you are maxing out (excluding your graphics card)

no I don't have dual screen of this laptop. I am using windowed-mode on my star wars game. I can see my task manager. I knew it is memory 95% means it is slow and this intel graphic card memory is 128mb.

Yeah I would suggest getting a better computer. I do not think setting it to XP Compatibility will make it any better with that type of video card.

Just a quick tip: MMOs will always perform much worse than standard games. So even if you do get more memory/better video card/better computer, just keep that in mind.

I have a $2,000 system, and WoW STILL lags REALLY bad when I am in Orgrimmar / Stormwind. It is just the way MMOs are.

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
