Playing SWTOR on Linux [WIP]

Setup

  1. use mate or cinnamon desktop environment
  2. install recommended GPU drivers. (This step is really important)
  3. install steam from software manager.
  4. setup proton the newer the version the better.
  5. turn on steam play in steam and set proton to match SWTOR compatibility settings.

Tips for troubleshooting

  1. Try different versions of proton until SWTOR runs right if it doesn't work right away.
  2. If SWTOR loading screen takes forever then alt tab out of SWTOR and close SWTOR . Edit client settings.ini in local steam files change fullscreen to false then save relaunch SWTOR.

Playing SWTOR on Mac (both x86 and M1/M2)

u/AgentRG on Reddit has open-sourced their script that installs and runs SWTOR (through a Wine-based wrapper) on Macs in an almost completely automated manner (requires installing a couple of command line tools, which are simple copy/paste/enter into a terminal window). Requires macOS 10.13 High Sierra or higher, and now is compatible with 64bit-only macOS versions such as Catalina or higher, and even M1/M2-based Macs, too!
