"Q. Is SWGEmu legal?"
by Someone on Friday September 16th 2011, 9:54
The answer "Yes" is faily incorrect.
Although the hosting of SWGEmu could be theoretically legal,
(assuming they _NEVER AGREED TO ANY SWG EULA_* and didn't reverse-engineer any part or protocol of the Software [which is mandatory for replicating the network communication])
"You may not use any third party software to modify the Software or to change game play." - You have to do that in order to connect to non-official servers.
"additionally, you may not engage in matchmaking for multi-player play over unauthorized networks." - SWGEmu is an unauthorized network.
Don't get me wrong, I think it's a good thing that SWGEmu exists - but I think if people do something illegal like playing SWGEmu they should at least do it knowingly, accepting the risks intentionally, rather than doing it 'accidentally' because people keep claiming it's legal, when it's not.

SWG + KDE4 clipboard
by Asharin on Monday January 3rd 2011, 12:54
I can't copy and paste info into the game, nor even within the game, it just copies gibberish :)
Other windows apps can copy and paste fine just not SWg (and yes I have set the keys..)
Probably an SWG issue?
Won't launch
by Gergely Fazekas on Thursday June 24th 2010, 1:46
I downloaded the trial, installed it, but it won't launch. It doesn't have a problem with the launcher itself, I could download the small trial exe and patch it up properly, but when I click 'Launch', the black opening screen flashes for a split second, then closes and that's it.
I've got no debugging information, either, except this is the tail of the output I get if I start it from terminal:
"fixme:thread:NtQueryInformationThread info class 9 not supported yet
fixme:thread:NtQueryInformationThread info class 9 not supported yet
fixme:thread:NtQueryInformationThread info class 9 not supported yet
fixme:thread:NtQueryInformationThread info class 9 not supported yet
fixme:thread:NtQueryInformationThread info class 9 not supported yet
err:seh:raise_exception Unhandled exception code 80000003 flags 0 addr 0xc5b7d1"
Now I'd like to play on a Dell Latitude D610 laptop, which is not a powerhouse, but if I reboot into my Windows system, it plays just fine. I'm aware it won't be running very good, but right now I'm only curious if it will run at all.

Can't change install path
by David Murphy on Saturday March 27th 2010, 16:01
Wine version 1.1.41, Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit
I downloaded the full 2GB trial installer and attempted to install... the default install path is C:\windows. I can hit the Browse button and browse out to Program Files, but after hitting Ok, the path doesn't actually update. If I try to hit Next either before or after using the Browse dialog, it complains that I can't install in the C:\windows directory. If I try to hit Browse a second time, the installer hangs and I have to kill it from the command line.
Oh, forgot to add, patching seemed to be working, but I got lazy and copied the updated folders from my windows partition rather than wait the multi-hour patch time.
Works, little wonky
by pinky on Saturday January 17th 2009, 20:14
Installed using PCLinuxOS Gnome Edition, used wine version 0.9.58 since it was in synaptic. Installed using the retail version DVD of SWG: Complete Online Adventures. Install and everything went well, only crashing when I try to shuttle and using the /tcg command to try and access the trading game, seemed to be a MS C++ error.
Station Launcher Isn't Loging Me In
by Marc Ferguson on Monday December 22nd 2008, 4:22
I downloaded the 14-day trial version. When it gets to the Station Launcher... I put in my username and password and it doesn't seem to go anywhere. The processing tab just goes back and forth. I'm running wine-1.1.9-2.fc10.i386 from Fedora 10 (x86_64). I've got a nVidia graphics card (which works because I'm playing WoW).
I think it has something to do with the web browser it's using in Station Launcher, but I'm not certain. Thanks for any help.
