Additional Comments
I've installed the game with the PlayOnLinux installer, it works perfectly. SWTOR_fix is still needed to run, but also integrated in the POL installer. First I ran into some trouble with the game loadup times it took about 30min to get in character creation. But I found a fix for this: The trick is to change the PlayOnLinux working drive to your secondary diskdrive. Follow this guide: http://wiki.playonlinux.com/index.php/How_to_move_PlayOnLinux_virtual_drives_to_another_disk My guess is that there are problems with permissions on the primary drive.

To set the screen resolution, you edit the "client_settings.ini" file by editing the "Width" and "Height" settings. For example: "Width=1024" "Height=768". You can find the file located at: /home/*YOUR USERNAME*/PlayOnLinux's virtual drives/SWTOR/drive_c/users/*YOUR USERNAME*/Local Settings/Application Data/SWTOR/swtor/settings.
Oh yeah, it's a lot easier if you use PlayOnLinux.

I'm new to Wine and could need some help to get this to run :(

Can you be a little more specific? Several of us are running it successfully, yes. On the proper hardware, and assuming you have correctly functioning graphics drivers, it runs with performance similar to Windows. You might have to tweak the config file "client_settings.ini" to reduce graphics settings to get it to run, though.
What OS are you running? What version of wine (wine --version)? How far do you get before it doesn't work as you expected?

OS: Kubuntu 16.10 64bit
2x SSDs with 258 gb
RAM: 16gb
GPU: Radeon R9 390 with latest Mesa drivers
Wine versions: 2.0.0 RC 3 - staging and tried others like 1.9.24
I'm basically at the point where swtorfix.exe works as intended, press the "play" button but than it doesn't load up and sometimes in 30 minutes at least.

the last time it needed about 30 minutes to load up.
swtor-fix console shows:
Waiting for swtor... Found, PID: 164 Waiting for threads to end..
Found, PID: 164 Waiting for threads to end..
Waiting for threads to end..
waiting for threads to end swtor fix
The ssd is working all the time and nothing happens. What could be the problem? :(

Follow this guide:
wiki.playonlinux.com/index.php/How_to_move_PlayOnLinux_virtual_drives_to_another_disk
Than install the game with the normal POL installer
The game will launch exactly as it should
My guess is that there are problems with permissions on the primary drive.
