I installed SWTOR using the wine installer. The game loads I can login and pull updates, but when I try to actually play it crashes. I am running Debian Testing with a NVIDIA Quatro GPU. Does anyone have advice on how to debug this and find out what is happening?
I have not tried this game but HexDSL made a video running the game in Lutris, maybe it has some information to fix the crashes.
I already watched his video. It was through him I discover lutris. I am looking at the logs and it appears to just close after the app launch. Here are the last few lines of the log file, The entire log can found here. I do notice that time is off. The logs are a day ahead…do not know if that means anything.

The winemenubuilder message is normal and the network_change_notifier message is probably unrelated to the crash.
I did here is the output

Consider running the game in a Wine virtual desktop if you can’t manage to fix that.

Please see installers for Battle.net or Overwatch installers and install 32bit versions of libraries listed there.
Running it in a Virtual Desktop did not work. I have verified I have gnutls:i386 packages installed. What is frustrating is that I also have this installed on my System76 Gazelle running Intel intergraded graphics and the game loads there.

Also, try running the game with the runtime disabled to see if that makes any difference.
Like I said in discord I verified that wine is working by installing and running Star Wars: Empire at War
I finally got it to work! Here is what happened.
- I reinstalled the game via the Lutris client.
- I manually started the launcher.exe using the launch EXE option in the Lutris client
- The game launched and I logged in. I then selected play and it froze on the splash screen
- I ran iftop on my laptop and noticed that the game was not trying to communicate out to the servers
- I looked at the launch.ahk script to see what it was doing. Then tried the following
- using the launch EXE option in the Lutris client I first launched swtor_fix.exe
- when I saw that the executable and wineserver process were running in top I launched the launcher.exe file
The loaded as expected. So it looks the issue was launcher.ahk. I am not sure why though…
