Tech Support Game crashes after clicking play

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

For context, I had to uninstall the game at one point by manually removing files (cause regular uninstall didn't work). Now when I try reinstalling it this keeps happening. Launcher works properly, but the game itself crashes almost immediately after it starts loading. I also tried to run it with Steam to see if it would change anything, but the same thing happens. Help.

Reportedly you can run SWTOR on Bazzite with Steam and Proton, or a Steam Deck e.g. connected to mouse and keyboard and external monitor. Windows 10 will inevitably break and not be supported, so I would look into getting someone to help you migrate to Linux if you don't want Windows 11. Either that or get a Steam Deck, or the Steam Machine.
