EA Play automatically starts Jedi fallen order x2 instances

When I start EA play (Desktop) Jedi Fallen Order will automatically start, then 5 seconds later another instance of Jedi fallen order will start.

So i end up with 2 games playing at the same time.

Also if i close them both.  

Then start Jedi Fallen Order, again it will open 2 instances of the game?

Is there a setting or config entry i have to change to stop this from happening.  

Note: If i run the EA Play app as Admin then it does not open Jedi Fallen order.  But when i do run it, again it opens it twice.

    I spoke too soon, Just started the game again from with in EA app and it Loads 2 instances of Jedi Fallen Order.  

    so I am going to have to troubleshoot this a bit more.  

    I will search the registry for any double or conflicting entries, its a strange one, but atleast when i start EA Play it no longer automatically launches the game.

    Hello

    I just gave that a try now. Starting it from the shortcut. 

    I am thinking issue is fixed. 

    as now I think about it, I moved the install folder to a different drive. And had issues at first. Because Ea play have no move game feature. 

    I created a post on this and the work around how to do it. Simply registry entry change location. 

    but I never rebooted. So now ea play opens fine. Didn’t trigger Jedi fallen order to start. 

    and I only get one instance open. 

    thanks for the tip.

    Hey @rdalcroft that's an odd one, when launching the EA App where are you selecting it?

    If you launch from the Start menu and the desktop do you have the same issue?
