Graphics settings configuration and applying
Full screen (windowed) Alt-Tabbing to switch apps
PvE Content
PvP Content, Warzones, Arenas, and Duels (extensive testing)
Cartel Coin purchasing and spending in the market
What does not
Nothing I've found in many many hours of game play.
Workarounds

Additional Comments
This test was conducted with SW TOR version 3.4a on 04/23/2016. Wine version was 1.9.8-staging (Fedora default) with CSMT enabled. Game runs very fluid at a solid 60fps (on my system, mileage may vary per system configuration). In comparison SW TOR runs much smoother than World of Warcraft (current version, OpenGL or D3D9 renders) with similar settings and resolution. Not really a fair comparison but it's the only one I've got. Still requires SWTOR_FIX.exe to be run before game is started.

With some versions of Wine, the game will crash if icons are hovered
over on the main map. Avoid this by keeping the mouse out of the way
when viewing the map.
This bug occurs for some players, but not all. I (Scott Weldon) have tested with Wine 1.7.50, and the game did not crash when hovering over icons on the map. However, other users have reported that they are still experiencing the bug. Any help in narrowing down the cause is appreciated.
