How to play swgoh on PC?

I use Nox Player. It is really usefull to set a macro so i don't break my fingers using those bronzium credits. :D

Hmm... I spend most of my time in front of a computer too, really. And right now I'm breaking my fingers opening bronzium cards on my phone, which is slow as hell.

So I figure since it's apparently not prohibited then maybe I'll download an emulator too :D

So Nox better than Bluestacks then?

Both Nox and Memu are more performant and less resource-hungry than BlueStacks. Memu is the fastest and least resource-consuming in my experience. But Nox allows you to use the mouse wheel to scroll through shipments and other SWGOH menus, which is a big help. So is Memu's task bar though, which enables you to force-close apps Windows style with a single click on an X button.

Another point to consider is that Memu's launcher loads faster and is less annoying than Nox's. You can install a different launcher from the app store, but Nox reverts this every other day and forces its own sluggish and add-riddled launcher back on you. There are ways to prevent this (root Nox, install a better file manager, locate and delete the launcher APK), but you won't be able to update Nox without reversing this change.

Regardless of which emulator you use, you'll want to make sure to force-close some background processes that keep running (and potentially phoning home) after you close the program. Nox goes as far as to install two suspicious executables that start with Windows but don't seem to serve any emulator-related purpose. So if you decide for Nox, make sure to open your Nox\bin folder after the installation and delete both KTND exe files.

In order to force-close processes that are necessary for the emulator but won't close upon exiting it, You can put a batch file on your desktop. Simply create a new text file and change the extension from .txt to .bat. Then right-click the file, choose Edit, paste the following lines in the file, and hit Ctrl+S to save it. In case of Nox, you only need one line:

C:\Windows\System32\taskkill.exe /f /im NoxVMSVC.exe

For Memu, you need to close a few more processes:

• C:\Windows\System32\taskkill.exe /f /im MEmuConsole.exe
  
• C:\Windows\System32\taskkill.exe /f /im adb.exe
  
• C:\Windows\System32\taskkill.exe /f /im MemuService.exe
  
• C:\Windows\System32\taskkill.exe /f /im MEmuSVC.exe
  

Now just run the batch file after closing the emulator. These processes are probably harmless and only stay alive to speed up the start process if you close and open the emulator repeatedly during the day. But I don't completely trust "free" software and like to control of what is running in the background when I do my online banking. I also want my system to be as performant as possible when I play other games. It's never a bad idea to close everything you don't need.

the Devs have already said numerous times emulators are allowed, they are not supported but yes they are allowed.
im actually sure i seen one of them say they use nox themselves tbh but cant find that post, anyways yes the GC's have admitted they use emulators also so if it wasnt allowed they would not have been official GC's (yes i know the scheme has been cancelled)

anyways Memu is easy to set up an "auto clicker" for opening bronziums, only annoying part is messing about when you get shards as thats a different layout lmao

I've used BlueStacks and Nox and I prefer BlueStacks for playing GOH.
