Star Wars: The Old Republic Forum

Ok, I've been trying to get this to run on osx through crossover, but i seem to be having trouble. The game installs properly, but when opening the launcher for it, all i get is the frame where inside it is black completely nothing else. Anyone know how to fix it? I really just want to play swtor again, since my w7 laptop went down(since factory resetting it almost 3 weeks ago) last night and made me try to attempt to get this to run again. Thanks in advance for any help...

This is what I'm getting now in trying to run it(I have no clue what's going on here):

I would look on winehq for tips on running this title:

That answer won't work, I'm on mac os x mountain lion using NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB. But it's weird how the launcher comes up...I really want to be able to play some more before the 2x exp ends tommorrow....

It also looks like if you move the cursor of that little box where the client loads but offset very far off, it shows the cursor you're supposeded to get. But it's still near impossible to log in to even play it XD

Ok correction to my problem:

1.) SWTOR must be in it's own bottle
2.) 1000x610 must be the emulated desktop size

Now if only there was a way to set the 1000x610 for the launcher and some how set a larger size for the client..

Correction: It installs and patches but doesn't run, the little spinner on the splashscreen stays in place and hasn't changed over the last 10 minutes...

Ok found a guide where someone got it working: http://www.techboxed.com/news/how-to-get-star-wars-the-old-republic-working-on-os-x-lion-with-wine/
What I'm wondering is if some of the same dependencies and such are applied in the tie if not once my macbook is out of repairs due to a sound card failure, if they'd fix it enough to run if so I'll report back within the week...but if they aren't installed already it might explain some of the current issues...and might be cause for me to ask the debs when I can get back on irc....

Ive managed to get pass that load screen! theres no need to have so many steps from that link you posted. all you have to do is to google for this file called swtor_fix.exe and copy it into the wrapper. Then, launch swtor_fix.exe followed by launcher.exe and the game will load. Done it on 9Aug2013 using crossover games on my macosx10.7.5 with swtor ver 2.3
