Sadly but swtor_fix.exe isn't working for me, it just hangs with "Waiting for tread to end." for eternity not doing anything. Still have to use last wine build with which patches from here still working.
swtor_fix.exe has to be on a completely seperate thread to the game, and does nothing until SWTOR.exe has been called by the Launcher when you press 'Play'.
Methods to try: # Use the single ampersand & at the end of it to make the command on a seperate 'thread'. my all-in-one launcher does that :)
# Just use a completely seperate terminal and kick it up in there: Open a new terminal and put in: cd [where it is saved] && env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/wines/swtor wine "swtor_fix.exe"
it will then say waiting for threads... then open a NEW terminal and start the launcher in that one. Once logged in and you press play, the launcher closes and calls swtor.exe (with a load of parameters). If you check back with the terminal that has swtor_fix.exe, it should now say a PID found or somert.
Please also be aware to run swtor_fix.exe in 32-bit along with the game if you are using a 64-bit OS :D
Hope this helps!
