@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.

      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.
