Are you using the latest Wine (1.6 RC5 at time of writing) with no extra
patches built in it, and a dedicated wineprefix just for SWTOR where you have
put in DirectX 9 and VCrun2008?

not sure if it works with 1.4.1 for instance... also maybe try the Repair
Installation in the Launcher's settings - maybe a file is corrupt.

Once, I was fooling with my launcher and didn't have the fix running. it did
just as you'd expect - only the loading screen with the little spinning icon
spinning so you know it hasn't crashed. Luckily my terminal history had the
swtor_fix.exe command in it, so I pressed ctrl+alt+t and pressed the up arrow,
then enter (I couldn't see, but that brought up a new terminal, then the up
arrow rewrote the last command, then enter executed it) It worked and within a
couple of seconds the character screen came up :D

If your loading screen icon (Botton-Right) is not spinning, I think I had that
when I forgot to put DX9 and vcrun2008 into the SWTOR wineprefix .. maybe that
was where I put in msls31 thinking about it - no idea where that came from
otherwise... lol.

That is the end of my knowledge on SW:TOR, and I sincerely hope you get the
game up and running... and the Wine Dev geniuses fix our issues in the future
:D
