Star Wars: The Old Republic Forum

As a beta tester I can confirm Star Wars The Old Republic installs without a problem. I'll be able to play tomorrow for beta test week so I can test the playing is working or not. But it looks like it will work.

which version are you running, I tried running the install a 2 days ago and it didn't run.

I hadn't had much time to look to see why it failed. I'm not home now so i can play with it to day.

I'm hoping i'll have time saturday to try and in stall it

I was able to get the game installed through login. Currently download the rest of the game. So far no issues.

Update: The entire game downloaded and installed. I can start the program and reach the into screen. I do not get the blue orb though so I do think something is missing to connect to the servers. However, it does look promising.

I'm using Crossover 10.1.1 Mac Professional in Mac Os X Lion 10.7.2. Install works but freezes at startup. Can't get to play. :(

Mac OS 10.7.2 with Games 10.2 here...installs fine (if slowly) but also "Error 6" after I hit the Play button. :(

Additional: this thread in the SWTOR forums says that people are fixing Error 6 by creating more room in the system partition (i.e. where Windows would be installed). How would/can one do that with Crossover Games?

Here's a nice bit of irony...

As the game wasn't playable on Linux for the stress test nor the beta weekend my wife and I ended up borrowing Windows laptops from our employers. One ran Win7 64-bit, and the other ran WinXP 64-bit. Both of them had no issue installing the game ahead of time, but they choked while updating the game client, both as the weekend event began and again on Saturday morning. I was able to rescue both installs by installing the game on Linux, then scp'ing the game content to the Windows platforms.

In other words, even though I couldn't play the game on Linux, the ability to at least install it on Linux allowed us to stay in the game during the beta weekend.

Any update to this as of yet. I am not going to do the bootcamp thing, I would like to play it with the crossover. Not sure I should buy the game yet.

sorry, late (and new) to the party here..

Im a PC user but my Wife loves her mac and recently became interested in this game after watching me test it.

So Im actually going to test the game for my wife on her Mac running Lion this weekend. We have downloaded Crossover Games 10.2 and so far the game installs fine and is completely patched. Ran into some strange issue that caused us to patch/download at 130kbs on a 10mbs connection. Pausing the patcher and resuming the download corrected this problem.

Im at work right now but will attempt to launch the game when I get home this evening. (I have beta access this weekend 12-2) I'll do a follow up then and try to give more specifics of her machine if necessary.

well, the game launched and I could hear the audio for the opening cinematic but the screen was black. I hit ESC and the games loading screen popped up and it just sat there.

So I quit the program, actually found out you could simulate a reboot with x-over and did that and relaunched the game. No cinematic but the game launched to the loading screen and again halted. Its almost like its not communicating to the server.

I did a cmd+option+esc and the program seems to be running, just stuck in limbo.

verified my wifes mac is running:
24 inch iMac
4 gig ram
2.93 ghz intel core2 duo
ATI Radeon HD4850 512meg
Lion 10.7.2

Crossover 10.2

Star Wars the Old Republic build: 2011.12.01 patch:0.742.28

That sounds consistent with what people are reporting on the Winehq page, seems things fall apart when the client starts talking to the servers. Which worked 2 beta weekends ago, so Bioware must have changed something..
