Why Use the Infinity Launcher?
Auto Updates
The launcher keeps both itself and the game files up to date automatically. When a new patch drops, you are ready to play the moment you open the launcher.
Easy Install
No need for original SWG discs or manual file management. The launcher downloads, configures, and verifies all game files from scratch with a single click.
Multi-Server
Manage multiple SWG installations from one place. Switch between servers and configurations without juggling separate folders or config files.
Lightweight
A small, efficient application that uses minimal system resources. The launcher stays out of your way and lets you get into the game fast.
Installation Steps
Download the Installer
Click the download button above to get the Infinity Launcher installer. Save it anywhere on your computer.
Run the Installer
Double-click the downloaded file and follow the on-screen prompts. If Windows SmartScreen shows a warning, click “More info” then “Run anyway” — the launcher is safe.
Choose Your Install Location
Select where you want SWG Infinity installed. We recommend a location outside of Program Files (e.g., C:\Games\SWGInfinity) to avoid permission issues.
Let It Patch
The launcher will download approximately 8–10 GB of game data. This is a one-time process — future updates are small incremental patches. Downloads are resumable if interrupted.
Play
Once patching completes, click Play. Log in with your SWG Infinity account and you are in.
Troubleshooting
Running into issues? Check these common solutions first.
Some antivirus software may flag the launcher as a false positive because it downloads and modifies game files. To resolve this:
- Add the Infinity Launcher installation folder to your antivirus exclusion list
- Temporarily disable real-time protection during installation, then re-enable it
- If using Windows Defender, add an exclusion via Settings → Windows Security → Virus & threat protection → Manage settings → Exclusions
The launcher is open-source and safe. If you continue to have issues, ask for help on our Discord.
The Infinity Launcher may require the .NET Desktop Runtime or Visual C++ Redistributable. If prompted:
- Download and install the latest .NET Desktop Runtime from Microsoft
- Install the latest Visual C++ Redistributable (x64)
- Restart your computer after installing, then try the launcher again
If the game fails to start after patching completes, try these steps:
- Run as Administrator: Right-click the launcher and select “Run as administrator”
- Verify files: Use the launcher’s built-in verify/repair feature to check for corrupted or missing files
- Check install path: Make sure the game is not installed in a protected directory like Program Files
- Disable overlays: Discord overlay, GeForce Experience, and similar tools can sometimes conflict with SWG. Try disabling them
- Compatibility mode: Right-click the SWG executable, go to Properties → Compatibility, and try running in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode
