oh my god SWG legends fucking removed my account for "using a VPN or proxy server" or for "an inappropriate name"
i'm peeved given i was Not connected to a VPN and the username was MindmeshLink just like here 💀
i'm gonna try to DM a support member abt this before i start over bc. oh my god
that's star wars galaxies legends as i was posting abt joining last night
i might redo the signup from my phone on mobile data
the response from support was: "A lot of ISPs use VPNs. What is your IP Address and I can check"
i don't... know... if i believe that statement...
we're approved though, hacker voice we're in
the launcher is crashing, ough. worst part is it's java but it's only available wrapped into an executable
i did successfully install the actual game though
someone else plays on linux on the forums, i'm saved
they literally just shared their fuckin lutris yml file for the game entry lol
nope same error: jfxwebkit.dll+0x10578b4
oh hummmm the wine version set in that config file didn't actually change the wine version set in real life for my game because it's, uhhh, not a version lutris can fetch and download rn i guess. gonna try a closer match
AHAH. i used lutris 5.7-11-x86_64 which is what the original install script that was breaking, used
we are patching!!!
also there's themes for the launcher and one of them is Witches and i hope i can play a force witch of dathomir
queer star wars fans want only one thing and it's dathomir
honestly i just like saying "force witches of dathomir"
white text in the launcher is still transparent (and also wine-scrumbled)
there's a scroller of news (that scrolls WAY too fast) on the launcher and most of it is these nice looking graphics or zoomed out screenshots, and then there's just. this guy
i am not immune to the magical charm of a video game launcher telling me "may the force be with you"
also: i keep forgetting there was a time when star wars media was in fact not produced by disney
also kinda surprised SWG legends has as open of signups as they do, *given* Disney
also, oh my god you can make a wookie. star wars the old republic could NEVER
human isn't even the first option, bothan is. BOTHAN. what star wars games let you play a bothan??
@MindmeshLink i like games that don't put "human" as the baseline
it makes sense for bothan to be the baseline in a star wars context, too! bothans are super common and frequently some of the most influential people (as they apparently have a natural feel for politics)
