So, I had finished successfully installing the game through wine and PlayOnMac for my Mac Port. everything ran fine (except for a bug where invisible walls or blocks or whatever you want to call them would stop me from moving forward... but that's not why I am here). I tried to open it again this morning and everything was going fine until I reached the first load screen. It just loaded infinitely, the little blue circle thing spins and all but it never makes it past that first loading screen. I have tried the "solution" where you change the ""bitraider_disable": false" to true. Didn't work... Tried the solution where you delete the Assets, bitraider, movies, and swtor files. Didn't work. I heard of one solution where you change the language from dutch to uk english because of a currecy problem? But seeing as I am on a mac, the solution gets lost in translation if you know what I mean. If there are any computer wizards who can tell me how to do the currency solution through mac or any other solutions, it would be greatly appreciated!

You should re-install the game. This might work, but I'm not sure, because I didn't have that king of problem.

I reinstalled everything and it went off without a hitch the first time I launched it (like last time). But yet again I am staring at this never ending load screen the second time around.

try editing the client_setting file per this link
The closest I have seen on a normal system would be start game ok once then unable to load the 2nd time until the PC reboot then load once only again, that was a bitdefender issue in that case locking file processes.
unfortunately I am not familiar with wine, maybe worth posting on one of their boards to possibly see how others have set the game to run
Offhand though you are 100% best to be installing the game as non streaming so ensure it stays like that at present, and run the game shortcut as administrator (equivalent in wine)

I tried the repair but it didn't work along with the other solutions on the page that I could translate into the mac stuff I have in front of me. I feel like I've tried every solution possible at this point. XD I just want to play a decent SW's game! lol! How do I install the game as non streaming? Or figure out if I am or am not streaming in the first place? I saw the part about an "ST" insignia and I couldn't find one on the login or start up windows I'll defiantly look into some different forums as suggested.

To check if using non streaming see this guide link does this particular directx redist install ok ?
