I kept trying and eventually it updated itself and it works now. Fluke thing, I guess
Problem: This is a permissions issue with the Jedi Fallen Order steam directory. The EA or Steam application cannot execute or write to/from the directory that is what is causing the problem. I am a IT professional and often see issues like this come up from time to time.
Solution: Open Powershell as a Administrator and run the following making sure to change the directory to match the installation directory of your game then paste in and run the following to allow ALL Authenticated Users to have full permissions for the directory.
$directory = "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Jedi Fallen Order"
$permission = "Authenticated Users","FullControl","Allow"
Get-ChildItem -Path $directory -Recurse | ForEach-Object { $_.FullName; $acl = Get-Acl $_.FullName; $rule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule $permission; $acl.SetAccessRule($rule); Set-Acl $_.FullName $acl }
