Star Wars: The Old Republic Forum

I haven’t played since I got my MacBook, and I just found out it was possible using this software. A little heartbroken to find that it no longer can be done. I was wondering if anyone figured out a workaround, or is currently in the process of doing so. Many thanks.

Yes, you can. It works perfectly fine with CrossOver 19.0.1. Follow Yuri's guide in the tips and tricks section but make sure NOT to install swtor_fix.exe! It is no longer needed.

My sincerest apologies. I just wrote a lot of crap up there. SWTOR will NOT work under Catalina at the moment. You can try under High Sierra or possibly Mojave, but Catalina is out of the question.

Again, my apologies. I wasn't thinking and wrote too fast.

It will not work in macOS Catalina (10.15). I will be adding a note to the installer for this shortly.

Short explanation, is that 10.15 does not have support for 32 bit applications, and the emulation for 32 bit that CodeWeavers is working only on some software that has not been written specifically for 32 bit. Unfortunately SWTOR is written specifically for 32 bit and the installer/game has not changed in a long time.

CodeWeavers is looking to improve this over time, but at this time it is not possible to get this running because of the 32 bit, and Mac no longer being 32 bit compatible.

Hello,

I have Mac OS Catalina 10.15, does Crossover / Star Wars: The Old Republic now work for Catalina yet?

I have tried it with the latest CrossOver 20 on both High Sierra and Big Sur.

It works with High Sierra. No luck with Big Sur RC1. Since Catalina already got rid of the 32 Bit libs, I doubt it will work with Catalina, but I cannot say for sure. I've upgraded since then to the release version of Big Sur and haven't tried it there as of yet. Let me do that and I'll post the result here.

I just tried it with 20.0.2 on macOS Big Sur 11.0.1 - it is installing, starting, patching and loading after login. But it never goes beyond the fullscreen loading screen.
