What works
SWTOR (as of patch 4.6a) runs flawlessly with Wine on a 13-inch Retina Macbook Pro (2015 model) under OSX 10.11.5.
No bugs discovered so far. Note also: Minimap works as well (contrary to some reports saying that using the minimap crashes the game)
Still requires swtor_fix.exe. For additional installation/runtime details, see comment section below.
What does not
None encountered so far.
Workarounds
What was not tested
My total playing time is still low, so maybe bugs will show up later into the game.

Additional Comments
I thought it might be a good idea to add another report for SWTOR on a Mac/OSX, since the last OSX report is from 2015, and gave a 'garbage' rating. Current state: SWTOR runs flawlessly on my 13-inch Retina Macbook Pro (2015, 2.9 GHz model), with graphics settings set to 'low' or 'medium' (or a combination between the two). I followed the instructions from here: www.techboxed.com/news/how-to-get-star-wars-the-old-republic-swtor-working-on-os-x-10-9-mavericks-with-wine/ This guide contains a step-by-step guide how to install homebrew, and how to use it to install Wine and its dependencies. It also refers to a script that handles the potentially tricky bits to get the game running, e.g. employing swtor_fix.exe, setting 'PatchingMode' to the right value, and so on. Two additional remarks that are NOT mentioned in the guide above: (1) Game works well under Wine 1.9.14, but it FAILED to run for me with Wine 1.8.3. Note that homebrew by default installs 1.8.3 (latest stable version), so make sure to install Wine with the developer version option: brew install wine --devel If you already have the stable version of wine installed, first uninstall: brew uninstall wine then re-install with the command above. (2) If the game still doesn't run, try disabling bitraider. To do so, change the value in launcher.settings, for example by: nano launcher.settings (in the main game directory) and change: , "bitraider_disable": false to: , "bitraider_disable": true

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.

In researching these two errors, I have also tried:
Changing various display settings in PoL
Running SWTOR in a virtual desktop
Switching from nvidia-3.61 (361.42-0ubuntu2) to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (1:1.0.12-1build2) in Driver Manager.
Installed, reinstalled everything in Update Manager that has "opengl" and "mesa", and "winbind" in either the package name or description.
Disabled BitRaider.
Installed winetricks and installed winhttp, wininet.
Deleting the SWTOR virtual machine and reinstalling from scratch (saving downloaded contents to save time and bandwidth).
I have spent many hours over several days researching and haven't made any further progress beyond the launcher.

by Pyramid on Friday September 2nd 2016, 3:25
After installation and running winecfg on my previous 32bit prefix, there was a complaint that the wine prefix is 64bit.
So, make sure that you have the correct wine prefix bu running winecfg and checking your prefix:
# set grep WINE
WINEARCH=win32
WINEPREFIX=/data/machines/wine32/
# winecfg
(no console output)
Btw, I am using Windows Version: = Windows 10,
and no other overrides that standard (winetricks msvcp90=native d3dx9_36 vcrun2008 msls31 winhttp)
by jeremyofmany on Friday September 2nd 2016, 8:27
Even without PlayonLinux, I used the "sudo apt-get install :i386" command.
"# set grep WINE
WINEARCH=win32
WINEPREFIX=/data/machines/wine32/
# winecfg
(no console output)"
Where do you specify this? Is this a script?
When you say you are using Windows 10, do you mean in the Wine Config?
When you say you got it to work, do you mean just the launcher or the game too?
Can you please provide some screen shots of your Wine and/or PoL setup, config and the game?
by Pyramid on Friday September 2nd 2016, 18:41
RE: Where do you specify this? Is this a script?
The commands are 2 separate console commands.
> set | grep WINE
> winecfg
RE: When you say you are using Windows 10, do you mean in the Wine Config?
yes
RE: When you say you got it to work, do you mean just the launcher or the game too?
launcher and game
RE: screen shots
wouldn't know how to attach or share images here
the problem seems to be with the wine version, not the configuration.
the script i am using is one of those found somewhere in this AppDB or on the internet.

I put my Electronic Arts folder (35 GB of game data including Game Update 4.7.1) in the following folder:
/home/jeremy/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Electronic Arts/BioWare/Star Wars - The Old Republic/
I ran winetricks which detected this 32-bit prefix.
In winecfg, I set the Windows version to 10.
In winetricks, I installed:
d3dx9
msls31
msxml3
vcrun2008
winhttp
I run swtor_fix.exe in one terminal under:
/home/jeremy/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)
and a second terminal under:
/home/jeremy/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Electronic Arts/BioWare/Star Wars - The Old Republic/
The launcher opened, updated but the game still does not run.
The first terminal says: waiting for threads to end
The second terminal says:
[0907/235740:ERROR:network_change_notifier_win.cc(111)] WSALookupServiceBegin failed with: 8
[0907/235740:ERROR:proxy_config_service_win.cc(159)] WinHttpGetIEProxyConfigForCurrentUser failed: 2
I tried without setting winecfg to emulate a virtual desktop (1024x768 for example).
This is under Wine 1.9.18. I downloaded 1.9.15, extracted it and tried building a 32-bit version but the configure script complains of missing dependencies; many of which I cannot install due to broken packages or other unmet dependencies.
by Pyramid on Thursday September 15th 2016, 12:38
The first terminal says: waiting for threads to end
1) You'd better have a script to sun swtor + swtor_fix in one thread (works for me at least)
As I am using an optimus hardware setup, I use the following start script:
my-linux-installation-files.blogspot.de/2014/07/star-wars-old-republic-start-script.html
2) Since I have a primusrun setup problem, I switched to optirun, and hence replaced
OPTIMUS_PREFIX="primusrun"
with
OPTIMUS_PREFIX="optirun"
After that I saw the same behavior that the launcher runs, but the game not, so now I am starting an optirun bash shell and then execute the above script (call it swtor.sh) inside the shell, like this:
> optirun bash
> swtor.sh
The above works for me.
3) I was lucky to find older wine 1.9.15 packages for my distro (openSuse) cause wine 1.9.18 didn't work for me. Not sure I can help you with compiling.

I would just like to eliminate the wait. Not sure if it is WINE, or SWTOR, or both.
I am not using a script, but I could try to see if it eliminates the wait.

1) I'm using the start.sh script mentioned in the app comments.
2) I changed the PatchingMode to SSN in the launcher file.
3) I changed the graphics setting to Very Low (only until I got it working)
4) I changed SWTOR to Windowed mode.
5) I changed LAUNCHER_COMMAND in start.sh to use a virtual desktop.
I'm on my phone so let me know if you need more specifics and I can get them later. Also, are you running on Intel, Nvidia, or AMD graphics?
by William Wolfe-McGuire on Saturday August 27th 2016, 12:15
1) i have been using the start.sh script
2) i changed the patching mode to ssn already
3) i will try this next but i sort of doubt this is the problem
4) i will try this and step 5.
im running Intel iris pro 1536 MB.
i'll post a comment here and let you know when ive tried these things if it works.

Most of the 2 million lines of logs for a few minutes play look like this:
warn:d3d:context_load_shader_resources No resource view bound at index 0, 3.
It appears that there was so much logging that my terminal emulator's ability to render the logs became the limiting factor for Wine!
Anyway, my script now is:
#!/bin/bash
export WINEPREFIX=/home/user/.local/share/wineprefixes/swtor/
export WINEARCH=win32
export WINEDEBUG=warn+all
wine swtor_fix.exe > log.swtor.swtor_fix 2>&1 &
sleep 1
# BASTARD: Wine logs cause MAJOR performance loss.
# Must prevent logs from going to console.
# We may as well show FPS...

primusrun wine "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program Files/Electronic Arts/BioWare/Star Wars - The Old Republic/launcher.exe" 2>&1 | grep primus #> /dev/null 2>&1 #> log.swtor 2>&1
# Logs if needed. Will be HUGE

the 3 Debian time servers
time.nist.gov
After that, I started getting serious lag spikes when playing the starfighter game: everyone would warp around for a while and go back to normal.
I noticed that the clock in my windowmanager would tick two seconds at a time, or skip a second.
I also know that SWTOR uses TCP for networking, which means packets have to arrive in order. If the client's (or server's) clock is unsteady, client and server will not agree on the order of the game's network traffic, and will have to take several seconds to re-establish the state of the game world.
Messing with the system clock like that would also cause the game to get the data in system_performance.ini wrong, and desynchronize that way. Over/underclocking your CPU (or memory, or maybe video card) would also invalidate that data, because it was generated with your system running at a different clock speed.
tl;dr if you have the NTP client daemon running and get major lagspikes, disable it before running the game.

If you don't have an SSD, it is a performance increase to move the file .../swtor/DiskCacheArena to a tmpfs.
The Windows users do this with a pre-configured ImDisk package called "SWTOR Unleashed", you can find more information on SWTOR's behavior googling that term.

The HUD in game seems to be running fine (not know the original behaviour from Windows), but within the character screen there is no character preview. The 3D graphics are just mixing completely. When I create a character blindly and starting the game, I am just seeing silhouttes without any texture or shading. They are all single-colored, making the game practicable unplayable.
Running on a Fedora 23 (64bit) with NVIDIA prop. 364.19, wine 1.9.9. Any ideas how to solve/debug this?
by Phobeus on Saturday May 7th 2016, 5:57
So this sounds more like a silver for me. At least the information that no modifications are required is not true for me. After performing these modifications the result is looking quite promising, so I assume that most of the veterans installed these and forgot that they installed them in the past.

First off, When starting the game from the launcher you will get a BitRaider error. BitRaider is the downloading software BioWare uses to download and patch SW TOR. It's crap. You will need to disable it in the launcher's launcher.settings file. Honestly, I do not remember what I actually changed to disable it. So for completeness's sake I'll just post my launcher.settings file's contents. Compare and edit as needed. The launcher.settings can be found in the "WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program Files/Electronic Arts/BioWare/Star Wars - The Old Republic/" directory. Use gedit or what ever you use to open & edit it.

If you've downloaded the game previously this change will force the launcher to download the complete game again without BitRaider support. After it completes restart the launcher and the error should be gone.
Next, the characters render a little on the chubby side. The UI renders 100% properly but the 3D scenes are stretched slightly horizontally. This makes your characters and everything else on the chubby side. The game is still perfectly playable. From my research the reason for this is the EDID of the monitor not reporting the correct aspect ratio to SW TOR's game engine. There is no in or out of game way to change the aspect ratio (that I've found). Strangely this is a common problem on Windows too.
I think this is all I encountered so far. It's been a couple of weeks and I've been playing the heck out of SW TOR. I've kinda forgot the journey to get to that point.

First, i'd like to say that the game runs very good with wine 1.9.0 and PoM.
Just need to avoid to click on the minimap :p.
The main issue for me is that i'm not able to play the galatic starfigher game.
Every time the battleground loads and crashes at the end of the loading.
Thank you.
by Rujsh on Friday June 3rd 2016, 10:02
I have that minimap crash sometimes. The regular map also occasionally causes that crash if I mouse over something, but not like the minimap does. I have the same issue if I click on anything in the mission tracker: if I click on a mission name or on a mission item, the game crashes to desktop. (I use the Mission Items tab of my inventory to get around that issue.)
by Naus on Wednesday December 30th 2015, 20:33
I used the PoL script at the begining, and then tried to install it manually and everything is the same. I was watching the process information in /proc//status and state indicate "Sleeping", alright, and then I've been watching the /proc//wchan and it goes from poll_schedule_timeout to pipe_wait for the hour.
I don't have the "strace" with me but I did once and it stays on SA_RESTORER in the meantime.
What is strange to me, It seems to take exactly 1h, I need to use a timer to confirm that though, also, all the time I can tell the harddrive is working.
I'm using Arch Linux x86_64 up to date with aur/wine-gaming-nine 1.8-1 but didn't activate Gallium.

I did everything under "Installation instructions" and "Running the game" under "Additional Comments" above.
The only "Game Issues" I experience are:
- It is not possible to change any settings while in the game, this has to be done from the character selection screen.
- FPS/Lag/Latency issues: These are not wine-specific, but occur on Windows too. Just check the swtor support forums, the game runs like crap for pretty much everyone.

I am running SWTOR successfully on OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 using Wine 1.7.31. I have not no problems with only one exception: The game starts lagging every (round about) two seconds. The lag time increases the longer the game runs or the more often I start it. The lag resets when I restart the whole system. Does anyone else have this problem or even knows how to get rid of it?
Greetings,
Tobias
by Joe Terwilliger on Monday June 8th 2015, 0:05
However, I noticed it runs very smooth with no consistent lag at all if I use the CSMT or STAGING patched sources of Wine (google around for those keywords with 'wine' for more info) - It's very playable - so good it's almost flawless, except for that damn map bug!
I do notice that if I have been running other Wine games extensively and then try SWTOR with the CSMT or STAGING Wine prefixes, it still exhibits the consistent lag problem, but not quite a bad as on the native Wine prefixes. Only a reboot clears this up. I have no idea why this is, but it smacks of Wine making swiss cheese out of the active and wired memory segments in OS X, which is somehow not being cleaned up or re-segmented once released... is that possible?
by TheGeminii on Monday July 13th 2015, 5:20
am on yosemite 10.10.4 and using crossover 14.1.4 and have tried wine 1.7.44 both give me the same problem. Am running with over 60 fps depending on graphics settings, however a stutter occurs every 2 seconds.
If the CSMT version runs better it might indicate that the thread management solution currently in use by Wine could be optimized.
Is there a workaround available, or are there thread management related settings I can tweak?

I was able to get 90 FPS with medium video settings (no shadows) while running around on planets (no PvE or PvP).
First you need to create 2 files and make the executable:
1. make_cache:
#!/bin/sh
[ ! -d /ramcache ] && mkdir -p /ramcache
chmod 777 /ramcache
mount -t tmpfs -o size=400m,rw tmpfs /ramcache
mkdir /ramcache/swtor
chmod -R 777 /ramcache/swtor
2. start_swtor (adapted from swtor_fix launcher.sh: github.com/aljen/swtor_fix/blob/master/launcher.sh ):
#!/bin/bash
export WINEARCH=win32
export WINEDEBUG=-all
export WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wineprefixes/SWTOR/
[ ! -L /ramcache/swtor ] && ln -s ~/Games/swtor_settings /ramcache/swtor
cd
wine ~/Games/swtor/swtor_fix.exe &
sleep 1
wine ~/Games/swtor/launcher.exe
wait $!
unset WINEARCH
unset WINEPREFIX
unset WINEDEBUG
~/Games/swtor_settings is a symbolic link to ~/.local/share/wineprefixes/SWTOR/drive_c/users/[USERNAME]/Local Settings/Application Data/SWTOR/swtor/
~/Games/swtor is a symbolic link to where my SWTOR is installed
The idea of these files it to make a ram disk in which you will store some critical files for SWTOR. The game reads and writes a lot into these files and in some cases the FPS can be doubled by putting them into the the RAM.
You need to run the 1st file with root privileges (sudo make_cache) and the second one you will run as the normal user.
Do not forget to change WINEPREFIX in the second file to the location of your wine prefix for SWTOR.
The 1st file needs to be ran after each reboot to make the ram disk.

I've installed SWTOR according to the instruction (vide the post of Patrick Glover, Tuesday June 3rd 2014, 20:32). My computer is HP ProBook 6450b.
Everything works fine, apart from space battles. When I start a tutorial or any space battle, there is a loading screen for a while (for a quite short time), and later I see the first frame of what I should see, nothing more. No sound, no move - everything is freezed. After a minute or two application crashes. Console doesn't show anything except for what it logged during a start of the application. I use wine 1.7.21-swotor (in PlayOnLinux).
It doesn't make a difference whether I use virtual desktop (1600x900) or not.
I'm not sure if it's my laptop's problem or something with a software.
I use Debian Jessie.

Tried to start play with a random character (because who cares what I look like, I just want to know if the game plays). After the fanfare movie (which I couldn't see) and the initial world loading progress screen, I was dumped onto the hutt planet ingame. The screen is grey, with only the UI elements showing.
I saw an in game UI notification about updated graphics settings, so I clicked OK. It tried to change things, but just froze. That's about as far as I've got.
There's some choppy audio here and there (which I sorta figured is to be expected?) I can tolerate. But obviously can't play what I can't see.
Although I've not tried the msls31 trick because I'm not sure what it is, I'm wondering if this is an issue with using/not using the MacBook Pro's native 1440x900 resolution.

by Matt H. on Saturday June 21st 2014, 4:22
www.techboxed.com/news/how-to-get-star-wars-the-old-republic-swtor-working-on-os-x-10-9-mavericks-with-wine/
Anyway, make sure you have this script: pastebin.com/nj5ZgbQx pasted into your executable (./start.sh) so that it checks for and downloads the swtor_fix file at the beginning of each start up. I followed the link directly from the raw data itself:
github.com/aljen/swtor_fix/raw/master/swtor_fix.exe
The only reason I mentioned the script above is because your terminal output looks like it's lacking the script that checks for and downloads swtor_fix. Either way, you can dl the file yourself or incorporate the script and let IT dl and check for the files for you. If you use the latter method, just make sure you have wget installed already or else the script will run, try and use wget (which doesn't exist) and then just bypass checking or dling the fix - which kind of defeats the purpose of the whole script itself.
Consequently, I didn't have wget installed, and banged my head against the wall for about an hour before I realized THAT was what held me back!

1. Download the swtor.exe from www.swtor.com
2. open your terminal type :
env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/[USERNAME]/wine/swtor winetricks d3dx9 vcrun2008 msls31 winhttp
3. change directory to where you have swtor downloaded usually this is in the downloads folder :
$ cd Downloads
4. in the Downloads folder :
env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/[USERNAME]/wine/swtor wine "SWTOR_setup.exe"
5. next cd out of the Downloads folder and into :
cd "/home/revan/wine/swtor/drive_c/Program Files/Electronic Arts/BioWare/Star Wars - The Old Republic"
6. copy and paste the code from pastebin.com/nj5ZgbQx into a text file and save it as start.sh
7. chmod 755 start.sh
8. ./start.sh
9. the first time you log in and start downloading it will pop up with an error you have to open up
the "launcher.settings" in an text editor and replace :
, "PatchingMode": "{ \"swtor\": \"BR\" }"
and replace BR for SSN, so in will be like this
, "PatchingMode": "{ \"swtor\": \"SSN\" }"
10. save and start again :
./start.sh
Thank you to those that created swtor in the first place and those who've created guides on how they got it to work and thank you to the user that created the swtor_fix.exe that made it possiable to play on linux

swtor now work's almost perfect i have a solid fps and no serious crashes
the only crashes i have is when i try to change graphic settings
and when the intro movies are playing but that can be avoided by simply removing the bik files from the swtor folder
my specs are
Core i7 960 @ 3.20Ghz
8GB Ram
Geforce 570 with current beta driver 340.17
Xubuntu 14.04 with mainline kernel 3.15
sorry for bad english

I'm using PoL with wine version 1.7.15. The launcher us loading and updating but I'm stuck at the splash after clicking play with the blue spinning gear.
swtor_fix.exe (from get_fix.sh) aborts with
wine: Bad EXE format for C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\BioWare\Star Wars - The Old Republic\swtor_fix.exe
Please help.

by Cédric GNIEWEK on Friday April 25th 2014, 2:29
Well, your second try seems a bit useless. You're not executing wine in this second command : you just put a string into the WINEPREFIX variable. That's due to the quotation marks that are not at the right places.
Also, you're not using the WINEPREFIX variable as it should be used.
Your Wine profile is in "/home/usr/.wine/SWTOR" ? This path should be put into WINEPREFIX, nothing else. So, the start-up command should be :
env WINEARCH="win32" WINEPREFIX="/home/usr/.wine/SWTOR" wine "/home/usr/.wine/SWTOR/drive_c/Program\ Files/Electronic\ Arts/BioWare/Star\ Wars\ -\ The\ Old\ Republic/swtor_fix.exe"
The wine command must not be in the quotation marks of the variables, otherwise it's not executed.
With this new command, it should work... or at least, it won't be the same error ! ^^
Bye !

Although I had many issues so I don't know exactly what I did, yet, to get it to work. I do not get any freezing on the Mini map or full map when I click or hover over icons. I will be doing a Fresh Install of Linux Mint 16 to recreate the proper steps.
Thank you to those at WineHQ forums and everyone involved in Wine including the creator of the imfomous swtor_fix.exe file for your efforts and time to make it so people may migrate from Windows to Linux.
I will be back soon with the step by step.

The problem is more noticeable in the first 8/9 seconds of the video because the frequency of the problem fluctuate during the session.
Does anyone have any suggestion?
Thank in advance.

sorry if I didn't answer for over a year, but in the mean time I quitted the game (and now I am back).
I confirm that setting the textures to "Low" solved (worked around actually) the issue, so thanks to both of you. :)
by Josh Raymond on Friday March 28th 2014, 7:12
Running Fedora 20 64bit with wine 1.7.14
Sound for all my other games and any other apps in wine works perfectly, it's JUST SWTOR that is having this issue, most of the common fixes for normal SWTOR sound issues don't apply and the ones that I can try failed, aswell as general sound issues through wine (hence the using alsa/oss drivers directly bypassing pulse-audio)
Anyone else have this problem?
Anyone actually HAVE sound?
How can I go about fixing this? It is very annoying to play a sound/voice-driven game with no sounds.
by joseph ricktor on Sunday March 30th 2014, 23:57
In my experience it's a dell override that is the problem
I forget what it is but try using wine tricks to change the sound driver
by Josh Raymond on Friday April 4th 2014, 7:43
Do you remember which dll's it was? Can you give me a list of your dll overrides I can duplicate and see if it works?

by joseph ricktor on Sunday March 30th 2014, 23:55
It loads faster on your ship
by Josh Raymond on Friday April 4th 2014, 7:47
I fixed this problem on my own already by setting the msls dll to (Native) in winecfg, then restarting the game after doing wineboot -u
Only graphical problem that remains is if I turn the Shader on I get texture flickering (all game textures constantly flicker between high and low res)

It also allows it to be placed in c_drive, Program Files, or in the same directory as the launcher. It will find and use the appropriate files.
Please reply with suggestiong. Or if you find an issue, please reply on the first link the correction.

or do you just stick it in the directory with the launcher?

What's interesting is that it says that the game needs
Winetricks win7
And glsl enabled
(and over a gig of VRAM)
Mabye this will help bug fixes

turns out there was a problem with my audio in wine
so i disabled it entirely and its working now
ill have to play with out sound but i can live with that

and swtor just hangs at the loading screen
any one know how to fix this?

is there a way we can reproduce this or disable it all together?

Wine 1.4.? possibly .1 Previously
Current 1.7.11
I have the intsallation method with the script put into the game folder that does everything. Though I stuck this on a manual install going up to the point of using swtor_fix.exe which I couldn't get to work for, probably, lack of knowlege.
When I first started the game, I was in 1.4.?, and it did not have the minimap/map crash when going over icons. It was on a lower graphics settings. Then putting it all to max, and possibly a small update, I eventaually began getting it. Still trying to identify the cause. I'm hoping it's a graphic setting.
Bloom also causes my clouds and other extremely distant objects to be in the forfront and is very annoying. Turning off bloom removes this!
by Anonymous on Saturday January 25th 2014, 18:23
My point in saying this is that this appears to be partially affected by harddrive speeds. When moving the game folder from my raid of 7200 rpm drives it is much longer. Taking potentially 10-30 minutes. When it is on my SSD it only take around 2-5 minutes.

And did you install all the stuff in your wine bottle with winetricks ?
==> winetricks d3dx9 vcrun2008 msls31 winhttp
With the last version (actualy 1.7.10 on my mint 15) of wine all is alright on pc computer, with a wine installed version or windows installed version.
Only Space PVP and hoovering a quest on the map still bug.

My uneducated guess is that it's somehow related to the map mouseover bug.

I am running with WINEARCH=win32
Here's my run script:
#!/bin/bash
export WINEARCH=win32
export WINEPREFIX="/home/timothy/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/SWTOR"
wine "C:/swtor_fix.exe" &
echo -n 'Cx$A3bdP' | xsel -i -b &

For my part I had to install a new version of wine (the 32bits) under a chrooted environnement in order to make the 2 versions (64 and 32) coexisting on the same system.
I know that playonlinux can switch between many version of wine in the same time but I didn't practice POL.
My Mint have a 64bits wine installed, but I installed the 1.7.3 x32 and his depedencies under my chroot directory.
When I launch the game I'm using the chrooted wine (so the x32) with winearch and wineprefix and the swtor_fix.
You seems to launch the default wine, so check if your wine is 32 or 64bits.
If needed I will explain how to use a wine32 under 64bits systems.
by Timothy on Tuesday October 15th 2013, 11:23
In addition, I also installed and setup version 1.7.3-32bit with playonlinux and tried that with the same results.
At this point I'm willing to try anything. How do you set up your 32bit wine?
Thanks.
by N3oTraX on Tuesday October 15th 2013, 11:45
Make me a feedback this solution was good for me.
by Timothy on Tuesday October 15th 2013, 15:52
In any case, I'm not sure how this is different than using the 32bit install from PlayOnLinux.

To be quick in order to have a chrooted system whatever the host system you must find a small linux oneshot system to copy in a folder then type chroot /your/path/under/the/oneshot/is/copied.
Once done compile wine dependencies, wine and wine stuff in your new environnement.
I think google is your friend about this you will easily find how to use a chroot under OpenSuse. (gentoo or archlinux are good distributions to chroot look at gentoo snapshots ;) for exemple)
I can't promise you that this is THE solution but you can give it a try it doesn't cost anything maby some of your presious time ;)
Look from another point of view : Your system could be the problem (maybe heavy, or something slows wine or something else) and try with a livecd of an another distribution in order to test to solve your issue. But this way could be more binding for you this is heavy to implement just for gaming ^^
by Timothy on Saturday October 19th 2013, 16:15
Yes indeed, time is a factor. I've blown away my previous attempt and trying again. If this doesn't work, then I'll look into the chroot setup when I have some spare time.
I realize as well it could be something with my system, however I do have both WOW and Diablo3 both running with no issues. Anyway...
Thanks.

Once I got in I was able to play for ~15min before the game froze - not sure what I did (think I hovered or clicked on the quests).
Here my setup:
opensuse: 12.3
kernel: 3.7.10-1.16
wine: 1.7.4
So to summarize, I need to resolve the long launch delay.

The value for [your SWTOR wine prefix folder] must be a full path (paths using "~" may not work).
PREPARATION:
1. Get the latest wine and winetricks for your distro
2. Download SWTOR_setup.exe from swtor.com
3. Install prerequisites:
env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=[your SWTOR wine prefix folder] winetricks d3dx9 vcrun2008 msls31 winhttp
4. Download swtor_fix.exe from github.com/aljen/swtor_fix
This fixes the KUSER_SHARED_DATA bug described in bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29168
INSTALL:
1. Run SWTOR_setup.exe
env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=[your SWTOR wine prefix folder] wine SWTOR_setup.exe
PLAY:
1. Disable Bit Raider
Edit launcher.settings (found where you installed SWTOR) and change the line
, "PatchingMode": "{ \"swtor\": \"BR\"
to
, "PatchingMode": "{ \"swtor\": \"SSN\"
2. Put the following into an executable shell script:
#!/bin/bash
env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=[your SWTOR wine prefix folder] wine [path to swtor_fix]/swtor_fix.exe &
cd [where you installed SWTOR]
env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=[your SWTOR wine prefix folder] wine launcher.exe
wait
killall swtor_fix.exe
3. Run the script you created in step 2.
The first time you run the script, the game will start downloading. Since we disabled Bit Raider, you won't be able to start playing until the entire game is downloaded.
When the Play button is finally enabled, it takes about 1m30s on my system from pressing Play until the character selection screen is loaded. Your loading times will vary.
4. While playing, avoid hovering the mouse over anything that will highlight a map area. Described in bug 32092: bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32092
This is summarized from the instructions posted by Stewart Lockwood, Stewart Robinson, and others below. See their posts for further details.

I will modify my system at some point due to your fantastic solution. Kudos.

After trolling the forums I discovered that there is an option to disable bit raider updates in launcher.settings, change this value to true and all is well again.
by g s on Wednesday September 25th 2013, 3:06
-------
open launcher.settings file in notepad and change the below with the launcher not running.
, "PatchingMode": "{ \"swtor\": \"BR\"
to
, "PatchingMode": "{ \"swtor\": \"SSN\"
save and start launcher, this will/should trigger a complete redownload though.

Hovering the mouse over certain map icons can crash the game. Not a major issue because Ctrl+Esc and kill the swtor processes and relaunching solves it (previously noted by someone on this forum).
There have so far been 2 patches. In these instances instead of clicking "Play" immediately after the update, exit and reboot and everything is fine.
With these pointers in mind, still worthy of a Gold. It is a feat of software engineering to actually run such an advanced game such as SWTOR on on Linux.
Kudos to the developers on this one.
by Robert Lockwood on Wednesday September 18th 2013, 7:29
At first I used crossover and playforlinux and both failed.
For kubuntu I installed the debian packages in the winehq ppa version 1.7.1 @ www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu for wine and winetricks
env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/[your user name]/wine/swtor winetricks d3dx9 vcrun2008 msls31 winhttp
will install what's required to run SWTOR.
It would seem that launcher visibility is fine, never the less we'll still go by Stewart's instructions for now:
cd ~/[Setup.exe] folder
env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/wine/swtor wine "Setup.exe" to install
Now the installation is complete, but the Launcher needs to install the game files (the big download)
cd /home/[Your user name]/wine/swtor/drive_c/Program\ Files/Electronic\ Arts/BioWare/Star\ Wars\ -\ The\ Old\ Republic/ && env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX="/home/[Your user name]/wine/swtor" wine explorer /desktop=SW:TOR,1000x614 "launcher.exe"
After install you need to get swtor_fix.exe, I would copy it into ~/wine/swtor so that everything is altogether. @ github.com/aljen/swtor_fix
Now we need to create a shell script to launch launcher. You can also put the above into a different shell script but as I see the launcher there's no point.
Here is the my shell script [launch.sh] (fill in the blanks [])
#!/bin/bash
env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/[your username here]/wine/swtor wine /home/[your username here]/wine/swtor/swtor_fix.exe &
cd /home/[your username here]/wine/swtor/drive_c/Program\ Files/Electronic\ Arts/BioWare/Star\ Wars\ -\ The\ Old\ Republic/ && env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX="/home/robert/wine/swtor" wine "launcher.exe"
wait
killall swtor_fix.exe
To launch enter launcher script directory and sh launch.sh
Other points to note: Issue with radeon at first I have no GLX working. By apt-get install[ing] mesa-utils and running glxinfo to ensure your graphics card's drivers are working correctly. I would update to the latest kernel using dist-upgrade, that's what fixed my graphics card.
Ok so that's a slightly slimmed down version of Stewart's and a few tidbits of everyone elses.
by roy on Tuesday September 24th 2013, 11:12
1. My install directory by default was .../Star Wars-The Old Republic/ instead of .../Star Wars - The Old Republic/ (tiny difference, but it could confuse newbies thinking your script doesn't work)
&
2. You left your username in the script once which -again- might cause confusion.
#!/bin/bash
env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/[YOUR USERNAME HERE]/wine/swtor wine /home/YOUR USERNAME HERE]/wine/swtor/swtor_fix.exe &
cd /home/[your username here]/wine/swtor/drive_c/Program\ Files/Electronic\ Arts/BioWare/Star\ Wars-The\ Old\ Republic/ && env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX="/home/[YOUR USERNAME HERE]/wine/swtor" wine "launcher.exe"
wait
killall swtor_fix.exe
by Robert Lockwood on Thursday September 26th 2013, 12:52
And thank you. I cannot take credit for this script though, it was already. Thanks again for your input.
by Stewart Robinson on Wednesday July 10th 2013, 16:37
Make sure to have the latest wine and winetricks installed (I am using 1.6 RC4 at the moment for instance)
#1 Download/install xsel (optional, but it saves alot of time wtih passwords later :D)
#2 Open a Terminal:
Ctrl + Alt + T (on many distros)
--- the rest is done in the terminal ---
Normal Copy = Ctrl+c | Paste = Ctrl+v
Terminal Copy = Ctrl+Shift+c | Paste = Ctrl+Shift+v
#3 Create a new wine 32-bit wine prefix, and install the required native stuff for the game to work: (alter directory to your liking)
env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/wines/swtor winetricks d3dx9 vcrun2008 msls31
#4 Navigate to where you saved the installer for the game:
cd ~/Downloads (or whatever you saved the file)
#5 Install the game :) Note the env settings to 32-bit and your prefix are ALWAYS used:
env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/wines/swtor wine "Setup.exe" (or whatever the installer you got is called)
#6 To see the Launcher for when patching etc, use this bash script: (New empty file)
#!/bin/bash
echo -n 'YourPasswordHere' | xsel -i -b &
cd "Path to where you installed the game" && env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX="~/wines/swtor" wine explorer /desktop=SW:TOR,1000x614 "launcher.exe"
Notice your password? kool huh - When the launcher kicks up, just press ctrl-v then return (enter) (assuming you have put in your username already)
#7 Save that file in somewhere (I've used ~/Launchers/swtorlauncher-windowed in this example)
Set the file as executable:
Right-Click on the file, select Properties.
Click on the Permissions tab, then check "Allow executing file as a program"
#8 Create your launcher to something like this: (new empty file again)
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=~/Launchers/swtorlauncher-windowed
Icon=~/Pictures/icons/StarWarsTheOldRepublic_byWar36.png
Name=SWTOR-Windowed
Categories=Game;RolePlaying;
Comment=SWTOR-Windowed (Includes my password!)
("Icon=~/Pictures/icons/StarWarsTheOldRepublic_byWar36.png" is completely up to you.... use whatever picture in whatever location you wish)
Save it in [your Home]/.local/share/applications (applications folder may need to be created)
---THIS WILL NOT RUN THE GAME!!! THIS WINDOWED VERSION IS JUST SO YOU CAN SEE THE LAUNCHER AND FOLLOW THE PATCHING PROCESS SHOULD YOU WISH TO. ---
When patching is done, Exit the launcher.
Now for playing the game :D
#9 get the latest version of swtorfix.exe :
github.com/aljen/swtor_fix
put it in with your wine stuff
#10 Create another bash script this time for the main game!
#!/bin/bash
env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/wines/swtor wine '~/wines/swtor_fix.exe' &
echo -n 'YourPasswordHere' | xsel -i -b &
cd 'Path to where you installed the game' && env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/wines/swtor wine launcher.exe
wait
killall swtor_fix.exe
please take note of the single & - this runs the individual commands on a seperate thread (kinda), whereas && makes sure that the command before the && is executed BEFORE the next command, and both on the same thread. Also note the blank line before killall swtor_fix.exe: That makes the script wait until the game has exited and then closes the fixer :D
#11 Create the launcher for the game script:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=~/Launchers/swtorlauncher
Icon=~/Pictures/icons/StarWarsTheOldRepublic_byWar36.png
Name=SWTOR
Categories=Game;RolePlaying;
Comment=Play SWTOR (Includes my password!)
Again, save it in [your Home]/.local/share/applications
When launching the game, the SWTOR game Launcherwill be black, or offset depending on your screen's resolution... no matter. wait a few seconds, then press ctrl+v then Return (Enter)
The next bit is a little tricky; you are waiting for the launcher to check for updates with the server after logging in. For me, I wait about 10 seconds. Once the launcher has checked for an update and finished, just press Return (Enter) again. The game should kick up :D
NOTE:
On my system, the game takes a good couple of minutes to kick up, and apart from some HDD activity, there is no indication it is loading at all. Give it time... and/or check running applications in your system monitor (All Applications)
Hope this helps guys! SWTOR is a fairly complicated game to set up and get running, so is perfect for demonstrating some advanced Wine stuff I've picked up over the years :D
My current system:
Intel Dual-Core 2.4ghz CPU, with 3GB RAM
ATI/AMD Radeon HD 5670 (Hopefully will move to nVidia next!)
Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit

Game launcher changed to:
#!/bin/bash

cd '/media/Data/Games/Star Wars-The Old Republic' && env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/wines/swtor wine launcher.exe

I haven't tested it extensively, but so far the game is working flawlessly.
by Stewart Robinson on Wednesday July 17th 2013, 8:05
I've updated my launcher to be an all-in-one solution (Kinda):
------
#!/bin/bash
cd ~/wines && env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/wines/swtor wine "swtor_fix.exe" &
echo -n 'ygeT3mwSG1UjaXQP' | xsel -i -b &
xrandr -s 800x600
cd '/media/Data/Games/Star Wars-The Old Republic' && env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/wines/swtor wine launcher.exe
xrandr -s 1280x1024
wait
killall swtor_fix.exe
------
I added xrandr commands to put the screen res to 800x600 so the launcher is correctly seen, then when it kicks up the game from the launcher, it puts my screen back to my native 1280x1024 :D
As you can also see, my install of SW:TOR is actually on my (Windows) NTFS D: drive - It took me ages to hit upon the correct fstab permissions to allow proper permissions for everything, but it works flawlessly:
/media/Data ntfs-3g defaults,user,exec,windows_names,locale=en_GB.UTF-8,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0
Game well!!!

Dunno where I've gone wrong. It's as if Wine ain't finding the launcher.exe with the path I've specified - I could be wrong - I'm relatively new to Linux.
by Stewart Robinson on Monday July 29th 2013, 11:18
2 things - first make sure you have xsel installed and second, your cd path should be the path to the folder that contains launcher.exe...eg cd "/home/david/wines/swtor/program files/star wars: the old republic"
cd is telling the thread to change the directory to where the launcher is, and then from there the thread tells wine to run launcher.exe
if you have 64-bit, it'll likely be program files(x86)
Hope that helps :)
by David Wilkes on Monday July 29th 2013, 12:13

by Stewart Robinson on Monday July 29th 2013, 12:16
cd "/home/david/wines/swtor/drive_c/Program Files/Electronic Arts/Bioware/Star Wars - The Old Republic"

by Stewart Robinson on Monday July 29th 2013, 12:25
----------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
cd '[where swtor_fix.exe is]' && env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/wines/swtor wine 'swtor_fix.exe' &
echo -n '[YourPasswordHere]' | xsel -i -b &
xrandr -s 800x600
cd '[path to launcher.exe folder]' && env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/wines/swtor wine launcher.exe
xrandr -s 1280x1024
wait
killall swtor_fix.exe
----------------------------------
This version loads up the fixing exe on a seperate thread, puts your screen into 800x600 so the launcher correctly shows along with putting the password in th eclipboard, then once the game is launched it puts the resolution back to your native (Mine is 1280x1024 as you can see) before the actual game kicks up :D
hope this helps get you gaming!
by David Wilkes on Monday July 29th 2013, 12:33
I shall use your new launcher when the game is installed being as though you've had amazing success with it.

I usually navigate to the application I want to launch in the file explorer (Nautilus, thunar etc), and right-click>properties on it. That gives you the full path to the application which (at least in nautilus/Ubuntu) you can click on, select all and copy. That eliminates typos :D

In case this could help you I followed this guide more or less :
www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=5654104
The things I missed before findind this post of TangledDruid were :
- Installation of corefonts, gecko and tahoma.
- export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib32/:/usr/lib/"
I am not sure right now, but without export of LD_LIBRARY_PATH it seems that I can launch the game but then, after the character selection, loading of the game will hang out and nothing happen.

By working I mean that I can apply it and compile the sources.
But the game wont launch due to bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29168 issue.

Wine 1.4 was patched as per Bug 29168 (bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29168)
Install pre-requisites:
winetricks d3dx9
winetricks vcrun2008
winecfg
Graphics settings for winecfg:
[ ] Automatically capture the mouse in full-screen windows
[ ] Allow the window manager to decorate the windows
[ ] Allow the window manager to control the windows
[x] Emulate a virtual desktop: 1920x1080
Screen resolution: 96 dpi
Wine is configured to run as Windows XP
Wine was started using a re-sized desktop as per Bug 31186 (bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31186)
wine explorer /desktop=4,1000x615 launcher.exe
There were no performance issues during my tests but your mileage may vary.
Issues I found:
- Ubuntu's Unity desktop decorations interfere with the Wine's window sizing and could prevent game interface elements from being displayed, especially elements near the edge of the screen. I had to move them around using the Interface Editor to be visible.
- The game freezes when doing anything that causes the map or mini-map to highlight an area. It may be the same issue discussed in the thread here: appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=26284 under the heading "Game hangs after a while".
This consistently happens when
- you hover over an area objective marker in the main map or mini map (the icons that look like spinning triangles enclosed in parentheses)
- you hover over a quest in the main map's Mission Tracker area that corresponds to an area objective marker on the map
- you hover over a quest in the Mission Tracker of the main HUD that corresponds to an area objective marker on the map. (Workaround this by disabling the Mission Tracker from the Interface Editor.)
It seems to be safe to hover/select map elements except for the area objective markers.
- Sometimes the launcher will report that it cannot get patch data and refuses to proceed to server selection. Workaround is to Exit the Launcher and try again.
Note that I could not test Character Creation because of the new limits on the number of characters you can have on your account.

For now, the KUSER_SHARED_DATA patch does not apply correctly anymore.
SWTOR still has the same starting problems while in the first loading screen what loads forever, showing the little wheel animation at the bottom right forever.
Wine version 1.5.17 is still patchable with the KUSER_SHARED_DATA patch and swtor works pretty smooth, beside of the map bug bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32092
