Fallen Order - No longer runs (via Epic) - updated with potential workaround

I purchased Jedi: Fallen Order via the Epic store on December 27th 2019, so I've had it a while, and have played for over 91 hours (see one of the screenshots). Now that I'm being forced to use the ...

    I've got it working, however I don't know if cloud saves are working with this method.

    Firstly I managed to get the game to load by running the following exe through File Explorer: 

    \Jedi Fallen Order\SwGame\Binaries\Win64\SwGame-Win64-Shipping.exe

    It loads the EA app, and then loaded the game.

    I did notice there was a slight difference in the file sizes.

    starwarsjedifallenorder.exe [59,811 KB]
    SwGame-Win64-Shipping.exe [59,809 KB]

    I don't why, and didn't have any issues when I tested it.

    Pinning the SwGame-Win64-Shipping.exe (or a shortcut) to the start menu works fine too.

    I have the deluxe edition, and noticed that the content wasn't available from the main menu, so did a little digging through the folders.

    On my installation the deluxe content is in the following folder.

    \Jedi Fallen Order\0003518\SwGame\Content\

    I copied the Deluxe and Paks folders to \Jedi Fallen Order\SwGame\Content\ and then launched the game, and the content became available on the main menu.

    I've watched one of the videos, and it seemed to work fine.
