Hi!
I am playing SWTOR on VMWare Fusion 5 and the game generally works well.
Firstly, I overcame some initial difficulties by reverting from Windows 7 64bit to Windows XP, and installing Quicktime and the WMWare tools.
Creating a Jedi Knight enables me to start playing, and the character can be loaded at a later time. However, if the character is played beyond a certain level, it can not be loaded anymore.
Creating a Sith Warrior enables playing for a much longer time, beyond level 15, and even leaving the startup planet, but then the same error occurs.
The symptom is that the game starts OK into the character selection screen. A character can be selected and started. The next screen is the "Prologue" screen with a progress bar. The progress bar reaches about 20-25%, and the the game freezes. The task manager can be opened, and it displays the game as "Not responding". The game can be killed, and restarted.
Starting the same character will always give the same result. EIther a character works or it does not.
Any help is appreciated.
