Hello,
As the title says the Star Wars Jedi : Fallen Order doesn't launch from steam with the new EA app since it completely overwrites Origin and uninstalls it, and the app itself doesn't have the game on my account.
Yes, i have triple checked and yes it is within the same account i'm writing this topic from.
@EA_Atic When is this scheduled to be fixed?? Because right now I have a game I've paid for that I can't use at all. The EA App was auto-downloaded onto my PC and now Fallen Order won't launch at all. Even though the game does appear on the EA app as a titled I own and have installed it won't launch.
I can't seem to find a download for Origin so when will this be fixed?
Same problem for me
@EA_Aticwhy haven't you responded to people? I just purchased this game through Steam this week and the issue STILL persists... won't launch from Steam client, or the EA App.
I got it to work by going to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Jedi Fallen Order\SwGame\Binaries\Win64
And then double clicking:
SwGame-Win64-Shipping.exe
I haven't worked out how to change the Steam shortcut to point to the .exe file though.
This worked for me. I’ve had this issue multiple times. Seems to be an issue with the EA app. Really should have been corrected by now.
Same problem. Weird how EA wants money immediately but they'll worry about delivering a playable game on a very convenient (for them) schedule.
If anyone is having any issues after trying all the other solutions on here:
1- Uninstall EA App. It's broken don't even bother using it. Reinstall Origin and turn off Origin auto update just in case.
2- Go to the game file in Steam and into the "_installer" folder.
3- Delete Cleanup.exe and Touchup.exe
4- Go into the "Origin" folder in "_installer" and click through the files until you see "EAappInstaller.exe" and delete that.
Then it should work at least for Fallen Order. Other games you may have to search around for anything EA app related in the game files and delete it or they will probably conflict. I had to restart Origin for some reason after all that but eventually it worked. Those files seem to force Origin to not run and install EA app instead. Don't bother with the EA app it does not work. Absolutely rushed.
I was so hopeful! This fix did not work for me either. I still have the popup on origin trying to force me to the broken ea app. I wonder if it is bricking origin for me now
Thank you for finding this out and sharing, I have been pissed for the last week and a half trying to launch this game only for EA to ruin it. You are doing God's work and I thank you for that.
