Star Wars: Squadrons on Steam not working
EDIT: It makes me 'resend verification to email' every time the game launches, but doesn't take me to the blank screen, so thats still progress! Haven't tried VR yet, but I can just 'toggle VR' if need be
OKAY! To those of you in this thread and those in the future, I took a shot in the dark and hoped it was just a graphical bug of some type - and it seems IT WAS.Here's everything I've tried IN ORDER from start to finish so this can *maybe* be replicated by you guys.
- Make a fresh install of the game(since my copy is on Steam, I re-installed the EA app just to double check that too)
- Ensure both EA and Steam overlays are disabled
- Reboot computer
- Launch the game in PANCAKE MODE(desktop only, no VR enabled for now)
- ASSUME when the grey box pops up that your text cursor is automatically in the email/username box
- Type in the email associated with your EA account
- Hit "TAB" on your keyboard
- Type your password
- Wait a moment until you hear the game try to do something
- Hit the "CLOSE" button in the top right of the game
- Wait for the rest of the boot sequence of the game to progress WITHOUT SKIPPING IT
- Wait for the "RECONNECT" button in the top right to appear on the main menu and click it
- The 2nd part of my login screen asking for me to send a verification code was there! Clicked the "Send Verification" button and then typed the code into my email
This is not the first time I've tried to type anything on the screen, but it is the first time I haven't clicked on the grey screen before trying to type - so my guess is that I've clicked out of the hidden login boxes. Hopefully, this means that someone other than me can also get this to work!
Please let me know if this works for anyone else! If I hear back from one or two people that it works, I'll mark this response as the solution.@Evadson009 @OldFaartQ
@EA_Illium My assumption is this graphical bug has something to do with AMD based systems on the Steam platform, as those are the only two things that connect both my desktop PC and my Steamdeck. I realize I've not had these issues until getting AMD video hardware, hope that can help lead to a solution of some sort.
