Re: Fallen Order - Not launch from steam with EA app

@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.

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.

Has this been fixed? Running into same problem MONTHS after the initial post. I should have made sure it wasn't on this * launcher before buying the game. Your company is such a * disappointment,

There will be some bugs but at least you can play it just go to "Steam\steamapps\common\Jedi Fallen Order\SwGame\Binaries\Win64" and pin "SwGame-Win64-Shipping.exe" to you star/taskbar/or copy link to desktop and run it from there.... Its what I did and can now play the game so far with not many problems... 

NOTE TO EA Come on guys fix your stuff with the new Star Wars game coming out people want to go back and replay the other one for a refresher and MANY of us use Steam. It is no one elses issue BUT yours EA App is trash and causing problems fix it or revert to Origin.

Obviously I have the same problem many others are having with the game. Only thing is is when I start the game normally it loads EAApp normally then the app minimizes and re-loads the app and does nothing. I get no error message at all and the game does not load. 

It is April 1st, and this issue has still not been resolved. In fact, it has gotten worse by now requiring users to upgrade to the EA app rather than allowing continuing to use Origin. Every time I load Origin I am taken to a prompt that will only allow me to install the EA App or learn more.

mee too the same problem. i wasted 2 weeks of my time .... the game doesent start. the support say NOTHING

i buy this game for the full i Price i stupid Idiot.

This was the last game from EA. When i buy i wait 2 years and buy it for 5 Euros

I hope I live to see this company go bankrupt.....
