Steam Jedi Fallen Order Won't Start

I click on Steam it says loading, then Origin sometimes will blink and I get this prompt Origin is busy with an operation that cannot be interrupted. Please wait until this operation is completed ...

    To those that have STEAM and try launching the game and it won't start with no error or prompt. I uninstalled Origin a few times and followed some other instructions from the other threads without them working. 

    What did work for me was uninstalling the game on Steam, and installing it through Origin. It installed with all the necessary components and after that it worked just fine. Yay!

@SlinkRumble the game should have a steam banner thingie on the icon on Origin, and I did install the game and download it through Origin, after a few attempts installing origin from scratch, from the Steam client, and so on. It was a pain.

    @SlinkRumble na... steam should register your game on to your origin. have you tried restarting your pc after a clean uninstall of Origin, then trying to install origin through steam? maybe then it will let you register your game after a successful login.

    On mine, it would just say it would run the game but nothing would open at all. Sometimes i would get the error on the OP.

    @SlinkRumble Please keep in mind i really did spend quite a bit of time troubleshooting a way and what finally worked was getting the game to run on Origin and installing it through origin itself... its not ideal.

    @SlinkRumble I don't blame you for that. Sorry you couldn't get it to work.

    @SlinkRumble It looks nice on PC. not sure how much different it is from the console. Other than a more stable fps.

    @SlinkRumble 

    Hi there,

    Sorry to hear you're having trouble to run Fallen Order on your system.

    If you haven't refunded yet, there's still a few things I'd like to try with you to get it up and running:

    • When installing via Steam and the Origin login prompts, can you try completely closing Origin and restarting?
    • If that still doesn't work, can you double-check there's no program on your system blocking Origin; e.g. an anti-malware/virus

    If you load Origin separately from Steam, but don't see Fallen Order, here's why:

    • Your EA account needs to be linked to Steam during the initial installation
    • Until you've successfully linked your accounts, you won't be able to see your Steam purchases in Origin

    Please let me know if that helps or if you have any other questions.

    Cheers,

    @Straatford87 

    I'm having similar issues myself. Purchased on Steam, definitely linked to my Origin account (see screenshot). I've tried installing both via Steam and via Origin and I get the same problem:

    starwarsjedifallenorder.exe starts, runs for about thirty seconds at about half a gig of memory, then a second instance of starwarsjedifallenorder.exe starts, gets its way up to about half a gig of memory usage. Then the first instance stops, followed by the second one a few seconds later. I've attached a screenshot of this behavior as well as my dxdiag output.

    Tried a clean boot and no-go. Drivers are up to date, have downloaded and repaired on both Steam and Origin more than twice each today. 

    Is there any other information from my system I can provide to help diagnose this? Do the applications leave logs anywhere? Thanks for your help!
