Good question indeed.
To my knowledge, if you buy a game via Steam, it saves the progress in the Steam cloud rather than via the EA app. So purchasing the game double, via Steam and EA app, would most likely result in different progress saves.

Hi, is this confirmed already? I want to have the game on Steam, but for now I just want to try it and see how it works with the EA play Pro. But if it's confirmed that I would lose my progress when I buy it for Steam, then I would rather not to pay the EA pass for 15€ just for checking so. I was wondering if Steam game needs to connect anyway to EA platform to play the game, the save would be compatbile, either local or cloud. But if not.. then GG.
- @Kirindae_7 honestly I'd say save your money all the way and wait for them to release patches for performance and to restore full stance-switching. Currently, the game has a 2 stance limit that tacks on a lot of time walking back to save points to experiment with the stances. And since it's designed to be an all-in-one lightsaber that would eliminate that kind of problem, it's a huge impedance to immersion along with not being able to draw your blaster unless you have that stance equipped. And then there's the hit to gameplay; Fallen Order gave you access to all your stances, albeit only two at the time, plus two additional dual-wielding attacks and a stance-switching attack that encourages you to use both styles, ironically giving this game less combat variety than the first game. Even though Survivor has 5 full stances, you are strictly limited to two with no additional stance attacks, no stance-switching, and no combo variation. I would highly recommend waiting until after a patch that restores all 5 stances before playing this game for the first time. 2 stances only is not a good representation of what this game has to offer.
- @GunpeiYaBoi I know, everything seems to be broken in all ways, but as a fallen order fan, I'm really hyped and want this new game. I know I'm not going to play it at it's best performance if I play it today, and I hope someday soon it will be fixed. But as I have the option to play it as a kind of "renting", I want to try it for now, and I want to know if my progress will be saved or not. I know I shouldn't pay for the game for the moment.
- @Kirindae_7 I hear that. my own obsessive compulsion dragged me into finishing the game, and even after maxing out all the stances and force abilities, the issues from only having two stances never go away. It's completely turned me off of going for 100% or playing NG+ until they implement some kind of stance-swapping method for all of the styles. otherwise, it would have been one of the most fulfilling Star Wars experiences I've ever had.
