Re: How to fix Star wars jedi fallen order black screen problem?

So I can tell you what I did to get the game to work in a jenky way.

Find the origin.exe file in your origin folder and move it to a different folder, I just moved it to my desktop.

Then I launched the game from this executable file "SwGame-Win64-Shipping.exe" found in Steam>SteamApps>common>Jedi Fallen Order>SwGame>Binaries>Win64 directory.

Your directory might be different but where ever the game is installed that is where you find it. Essentially something is wrong with Origin and this completely bypasses Origin fooling your PC somehow. You can NOT launch the game from Steam though. You have to use that exe I gave you. I'm just telling you where my trouble shooting stopped.

Things I did try before all this that lead to nothing (out of order):

1) Updating graphics card (already up to date, so didn't do anything)

2) Made a registry edit to some file to fix my error: "LowLevelFatalError [File:Unknown] [Line: 1145] GameThread timed out waiting for RenderThread after 120.00 secs......"   that I saw on a forum (that didn't fix it.)

3) Tried launching Steam, Origin, and game in administrator mode through "Compatibility" options (did nothing)

4) Changed DPI settings (did nothing)

5) Unistalled/reinstalled game (did nothing)

6) Uninstalled/reinstalled Origin (did nothing)

7) Changed Date & Time on PC to try and trick something... don't know why I found this on so many forums... (Did nothing)

8) Tried setting the game's exe to run in Windows 8 compatibility, even though I am on Windows 10, just read it on a forum so tried it. (Did nothing)

9)Changed firewall settings and checked antivirus (did nothing)


Like you, the game was working just fine for about a week or less after I purchased it during the labor day sales event (in the year of our Lord 2022). Then in the middle of playing the game my whole system froze so I did a hard restart and then this problem came about. I may have tried more steps but that is all I can recall right now. Wish there was an actual way to fix this problem. I also can't believe there is no chat support for a company as large as EA, really (F*******) stupid in 2022.

*Did nothing means: Did not solve my problem of playing the game I payed for after deep diving for hours on multiple forums and videos trying to find a solution
