[solved] SWTOR wine doesn't launch

So, I've been trying to get swtor to launch, but I'm quite unsuccesful...
The game doesn't start after I click "Play" in the launcher (after installing any updates and patches)

What have I tried?
1) Native wine plus the Method described here as "updated instructions" in the comments: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p … &iId=27088
2) Playonlinux with special patched wine

It doesn't work both times, with the following output (method 1):

Waiting for swtor...

I'm guessing the last to errors are the cause, but I have no Idea how to get rid of them. Anybody have an Idea or also has the same problem?

Tried wine-stable from AUR?

Nope, but it appears that SWTOR just has HUGE amounts of loading time. After waking up this morning it actually got to the loading screen! (somewhrer up to 4 hours!)

So it seems I was just to impatient, but now I can't get past the loading screen. There is a blue loading cog that keeps on turning, but nothing happens. (I'm guessing after 4 hours of waiting, nothing else will happen). Trying a few things about that now, I think I know why that error happens, and I hope the loading time can be cut down somehow

It appears the game requires 1-4 hours to load, I'll check that when I have the time.

As comparison for others, here are my specs:

Intell i5 2.2 Ghz
4GB Ram
Intel HD 4000

I've my idea doesn't work I'll try wine-stable, if it works, I'll change the thread to solved

Okay, it now runs with the fixed exe found on wineHQ. Startup time ~1.5 hours!
