swtor_fix.exe has to be on a completely seperate thread to the game, and does
nothing until SWTOR.exe has been called by the Launcher when you press 'Play'.

Methods to try:
# Use the single ampersand & at the end of it to make the command on a seperate
'thread'.
my all-in-one launcher does that :)

# Just use a completely seperate terminal and kick it up in there:
Open a new terminal and put in:
cd [where it is saved] && env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/wines/swtor wine
"swtor_fix.exe"

it will then say waiting for threads...
then open a NEW terminal and start the launcher in that one. Once logged in and
you press play, the launcher closes and calls swtor.exe (with a load of
parameters). If you check back with the terminal that has swtor_fix.exe, it
should now say a PID found or somert.

Please also be aware to run swtor_fix.exe in 32-bit along with the game if you
are using a 64-bit OS :D

Hope this helps!
