[edit] Issues
- Launcher/Patcher seems to be slower then when using Windo$e.
- Mouse is different when windows are open.(inventory, bank stc...) [Fixed since Cedega 4.3]
- Buttons on "Launcher" barely display. [Workaround: Toggle runlevel(desktop) forth and back.]
- The game may crash with the ALSA driver. Use OSS.
- Font may appear clogged and unreadable in-game. A possible fix is to disable shaders.
- If you haven't installed the Mozilla ActiveX Control for Cedega you will experience erratic errors inside the launcher. Such as the launcher repeatedly asking for the location of your game. To solve this: In Cedega click
Transgaming -> Check for Updates -> [x] Mozcontrol
- SOE Does not support the running of SWG on a linux (yet)
[edit] Fixes
- If the launcher comes up as "Sony Online" instead of launching SWG, add
/game:starwarsto the command line.
- If the game quietly crashes on launch, try copying Secur32.dll from a Windows partition or the Internet to your c_drive/windows/system32 folder. (Only necessary for Cedega versions earlier than 4.3)
- After Publish 12 (January 2005), some users may need to use Cedega 4.2.1 in order to play. Galaxies can report 'DirectX 9.0b' when under a 4.0 release.
- If you have 1GB memory or more (as SWG runs MUCH smoother with more than 512MB) make sure that you enable large memory support in your kernel. By default, most distro's kernels run without large mem support and will only use about 880 MB. Enabling large memory support will provide a good boost to FPS especially in built up areas!
- If the launcher crashes immediately after it reads "Loading Graphics...", it will probably help to disable "FreeType and XRender" in your Cedega game profile.
