Star Wars: The Old Republic The galaxy is in turmoil. War rages across countless worlds as
Republic and Imperial forces struggle for control of critical resources.
Amidst the chaos, threats emerge from all sides. The planet Denova,
known for its extensive deposits of baradium ore, has been seized by a
band of mercenaries and veteran Imperial defectors with mysterious
motives. If they are not dislodged, the explosive arsenal they can
create will give them the power to destroy any armed force – Republic or
Imperial. On Corellia, a corrupt councilor attempts to maximize
hypermatter profits by playing both sides of the conflict, and the
crazed mastermind behind the Rakghoul outbreak, discovered on Ord
Mantell, continues to threaten the lives of all sentient beings in the
galaxy…

What works
So far everything.
But it takes forever (17 - 25 min) to startup.
The Patch from http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29168 is necessary to start the client at all.
winetricks vcrun2008 and d3dx9_36 are required to run from a clean prefix.
Best performance is with win-version vista,win7.
Sound and High-Res Texture problems
by Demon on Tuesday May 15th 2012, 5:09
I managed to run swtor 1.2.3a on Ubuntu 12.04 with an nvidia optimus video card.
After these steps i was able to start the client and log in.
- patching and compiling wine 1.5.4
- using winetricks vcrun2008 and d3dx9_36
- creating a wine desktop
- setting the correct VideoMemorySize for wine in regedit (probably due to the optimus card)
- setting the windows version to win7
The game runs quite stable, with some drawbacks
- sometimes the sound output seems to be "too fast", creating a terrible noise for a few minutes then returning to normal
- most of the time the High-Res Textures are not loaded
