    Has anyone else tried this yet ?

    Installed it myself last night and it's a massive boost in FPS. Not that I ever had any problems before but with everything on Ultra @ 1920x1200 and completely maxed out with everything else like MSAA, I'm still hitting the 100FPS cap without a single problem and it's very rare now that it dips below 100fps at all.

    Game just seems to run an awful lot smoother now.

    tried it but it wouldnt allow me to connect as its US launcher. Are you playing on US servers?

    No, play on EU servers mostly.
    I use the Launcher to play though, rather than direct clicking on the wow64.exe or whatever. Maybe that might help ?

    Although, I've been getting disconnected a lot with it when encountering a mage in Battlegrounds. :(

    Probably true :)

    Reading a bit about it on their forums, seems it's not the 64bit clients fault but a known problem, happening lots of others too, random disconnects since the latest patch.

    Only thing I have noticed, there seems to be a 100FPS cap when using the 64bit client which 32bit doesn't suffer from. Not that you'll ever really need such high FPS but still...

    Ask SWTOR how uncapped FPS works out for people's graphic cards :pac:

    Alot of issues with 64 bit client, needs to get refined a little bit.

    I know 64bit causing alot of crashes and issues with players.
    Also seems to generate alot of issue with streamers
