SWTOR on Mac 0.1.0-dev.1 (development build)

A test build of the next version, for testing before a release. It is not offered as an
update; install it by hand. The next public version (0.1.0) is offered over it as usual.

What's new:

  • A new Wine engine: CrossOver 26.3 with Wine 11, the same engine SWGL on Mac uses
    (athei's build of CodeWeavers' CrossOver 26.3). It replaces CrossOver 24.0.7 (Wine 9). There
    is no choice between engines: this version uses only the new one. The graphics driver is the
    same as in 0.0.6 (d9mt 68c7190), and its shader cache is kept.
  • Game keys by keyboard position (Settings > Keyboard) works as before, with a new build of
    the Mac driver for the new engine.
  • Game Mode, Retina, vsync, the video memory profiles, Debug Logging and the session report
    work as before. The session report and Collect Logs… now name the Wine engine a session
    ran on.

Updating from 0.0.6:

  • After copying the app, open SWTOR on Mac and click Update to 0.1.0-dev.1 (Reinstall) with
    the launcher and the game closed. It downloads the new engine once (about 235 MB) and updates
    your existing Wine prefix for it, which takes under a minute. Your game settings, key
    bindings and SWTOR on Mac's settings stay.
  • Until you do, the game keeps running on the old engine, and Settings asks for the update
    first.
  • If the update fails, everything is put back as it was. The old engine is removed only once
    the update has gone through.
  • Going back to 0.0.6 works: copy 0.0.6 over this app, open it and click Reinstall.

Please report problems: turn on Settings > Troubleshooting > Debug Logging (on by default
in this build), play, quit, then use SWTOR on Mac > Collect Logs… and send the zip. It
includes the session report. To compare a session with one on 0.0.6:

R="/Applications/SWTOR on Mac.app/Contents/Resources"
"$R/session-report.sh" --keep              # the last session, and keep a copy of its log
"$R/session-report.sh" --compare A.log B.log

Development build:

  • A Development build badge in the window and in About.
  • Debug Logging is on by default. It costs a little performance; turn it off in Settings if
    you like.
  • No automatic update checks. Check for Updates… works.

To install: quit SWTOR, copy the app from the DMG over the one in Applications, open it, and
click Update to 0.1.0-dev.1 (Reinstall).
