--- Comment #56 from Sebastian Lackner sebastian@fds-team.de --- Someone asked us to take a look at this issue ( https://github.com/wine-compholio/wine-staging/issues/291 ) a couple of days ago. We already found out several internal details, but its not yet sufficient to track down this bug completely.
For everyone interested playing this game, you can use the following VERY! ugly hack by Michael in the meantime, which allows to get past the point where the game would usually crash, tested with the graphic settings menu: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/61413222/swtor-evil-workaround.diff Please note that this hack might break a lot of other apps, so its not really suitable for general purpose Wine versions. ;) Even though this is so ugly that I prefer to not show it at all, I thought its useful to mention it here, because the game still seems to have a very big community. We'll hopefully find a proper fix soon, and then update this bug report accordingly.
