With my script, I made to run games with WINE, swtor_fix.exe is runned at the
same time as launcher.exe as a separate process.
It echoes in terminal, in my case in log file:
Waiting for swtor...

I don't need that: env WINEARCH=win32
as my linux is 32 bit.

Yes, as swtor.exe starts swtor_fix.exe logs:
----------------
Found, PID: 114
Waiting for threads to end..
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
And thats all it dose.
