How to install SWG SOM

Follow these steps in order. NGE and Pre-CU must be extracted into separate folders.

  1. Create your account. Register once using the button above. The same login works on both galaxies.
  2. Download your client. Choose NGE or SOM pre-cu above and wait for the ZIP download to finish. Use Download via Torrent if the direct ZIP stalls or errors.
  3. Extract the ZIP. Right-click it, choose Extract All, and select a simple folder such as Desktop\NGE. Never run the game from inside the ZIP.

  4. Install the matching launcher. For SOM pre-cu, run the complete SWG SOM launcher 2026.10.11.2 EXE; no launcher ZIP or separate updater is needed. For NGE, extract the NGE launcher ZIP and run its setup. If security software warns about a download, stop and contact support.
  5. Select your galaxy and folder. For Pre-CU, select SOM pre-cu in the 2026.10.11.2 launcher. For NGE, use the NGE launcher. Press Install Location and select the matching extracted client folder.
  6. Scan and configure. Let the launcher finish checking the files. Run SwgClientSetup_r.exe for NGE or SWGEmu_Setup.exe for Pre-CU and choose your screen resolution.
  7. Play. Return to the launcher, confirm the correct galaxy is selected, and press Play.
Having trouble? Check that Install Location points to the extracted client folder, not the ZIP file. Keep NGE and Pre-CU in separate folders.
