SWGEmu Launchpad Update - 11/22/13

[Ozan]

When I try to scan my files with "Full Scan" -- I get an error message as "Invalid game folder!" It was working fine for all this time with LPE. What shall I do to fix it?

EDIT: And also; when I try to get the game settings, I get another error message as: "It seems that you dont have the original SWGEmu.exe, FPS overrider will be disabled"

Don't understand! how can it not be original?! - just downloaded it 5 mins ago!! OR what am I missing?

You need to link launcher to your SWGEmu game install, hit Settings > Options, browse to SWGEmu folder (C:\SWGEmu by default).

Is it working now?

We dont control LPE, when it stops working (like right now) we cant fix it, we cant do anything.

It was not working just fine, it was a support nightmare. Our how to fix SWGEmu client guide went from 55 know issues to just 26 and only like one or two of those is new launchpad related.

i didn't mean to come across as rude or anything its just i'm really not good with comps and struggling even with the guide

The old one wasn't working again for me yesterday when tried early in the day. Not sure now.

I didn't know you guys/gals couldn't support the old one at all and thought this was a "choice" to change it so I apologize....

As someone not great with computers, I was frustrated and thoroughly confused with the instructions on Setting -> options step. I thought you all meant something in a folder somewhere and it isn't really clear that it's just on the upper left drop-down so adding a picture showing that may help a ton to other people. I ended up doing that and it works fine now!

A few of my guildies and I are experiencing a common issue with the new Launchpad. Under Settings -> Options, we have the SWGEmu Folder set to "C:/SWGEmu" (which seems odd that it wants a forward slash instead of a backslash, as is more Windows-y), but the launchpad immediately throws the error, "Basic checks failed."

I've tried changing this setting to several other candidate locations, all of which yield the same result.

Launchpad is version 0.21 running on Windows 7 x64 SP1 with 6 GB RAM, Intel i7-920 processor. Happy to provide any other environment information you may require.

Thanks in advance.

...in reply to my own post above, I went ahead and clicked "Full scan" despite the error. It ran an apparent check pass, and now it's launching the game fine.

Perhaps the original instructions need to be updated to include a Full scan after the Launchpad is running?

My issue appears resolved. Documenting here for future reference.

Thanks all.

Edit -- perhaps this is only necessary when converting from LPE? Unsure

So I've been running SWGemu using OSX and Crossover 13. I opened the launcher today and it said "connection closed", and that's what actually brought me to this thread.

I just downloaded that package above^ and tried to install it, but not do a full scan and it didn't work. It says it can't find wine to play it. I never knew about that wine bottle, as I was just directed to the other ones found in the forum search. I haven't even been playing 2 weeks yet.

Also, I can still play the game through crossover, but I don't know what problems that might cause since it's not updated.

Can anyone help me out? Is there a guide for the Mac launchpad i just downloaded? I can try to be more coherent because I feel like i'm all over the place. Thanks in advance

Check in the Settings->Options and set the current folder of swgemu.

"wine" is the software CrossOver is based on. If you go into settings there are options you need to set to make it work, though you need some knowledge about command line options for that. Otherwise just use the launcher only if you have issues playing to run full scan, it updates/fixes the files. Then you can use any other software to run the client.

Works good, thanks.

This thread is dedicated to our new SWGEmu Launchpad. We announced LPE (Launchpad Enhanced) Endo Of Life weeks ago and we no longer offer support for it or for LPE based clients. Please use our new SWGEmu Laucnhpad, you can find the link to our install guide in my sig.
