Downloadable Files

I've been promising this one for a while, so here ya go: a comprehensive list of files and weblinks featured in this blog.  The profiles offered are intended as examples to help get you started: I highly recommend you tweak them to find a configuration that best suits your playstyle.


My Current Profile
This area is regularly updated with the latest files and info I am personally using to play SWTOR.
Latest Update: Jan 21, 2012
ImageGuide for PGP Profile
NOTE: You must reconfigure your PS3 controller every time you launch PGP if you run it in PS3 mode.  L2 and R2 need to be configured as axes.  Alternately, you can set your controller to run in 360 controller emulation mode, but you won't be able to map your PS button.

  1. Errol, you're going to have clear this one up for me...are you saying Launcher.exe is actually a compressed archive disguised as an .exe file? And what's the impact on users configuring controller support?

    1. Ah, gotcha. Basically you've answered the often-asked question of why the heck SWTOR needs to be run at the Administrator level, and why any associated programs you use with it (like these controller emulators) needs to run at that level as well. :-)

      Good info. Thanks!

  2. Hey Guys!

    Do you know if I can play the SWTOR with a PC Game Pad?
    I tried to configure using the JoytKey, but the game doesn't seem to recognize the Game Pad.

    Can you help me?
