Hey everyone, I recently got Jedi Fallen Order for 75% off on steam. However, now that it’s installed, the game doesn’t launch, just shows the blue playing button and stops after a while. I’ve tried proton experimental and GE. I’ve also checked the files integrity using steam.
Any help with fixing this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Make sure to check ProtonDB for a game if you’re having problems. I think jsdz’s answer should work. For extra context,
SwGame-Win64-Shipping.exeis a DRM-free executable whereasstarwarsjedifallenorder.exehas Origin/EA DRM baked in. Setting your launch option to"path/to/SwGame/Binaries/Win64/SwGame-Win64-Shipping.exe" %command%like they report in ProtonDB should work.(There’s actually some tiny bits of DRM in
SwGame-Win64-Shipping.exebut they allow runtime even when they fail so it’s similar to DRM-free for practical purposes)Also check PCGW as sometimes the issues actually exist on Windows too (and the same workarounds may apply).
Awesome, will try this out.
Unfortunately, that didn’t work. It’s the same issue as before.
Try this as a launch option instead:
eval $(echo "%command%" | sed "s/starwarsjedifallenorder.exe/SwGame-Win64-Shipping.exe/")If the EA launcher isn’t the problem then running the other executable may still not work. This game should be easy to get working on Linux as it requires no additional dependencies.
I believe EA Launcher is the problem, I tried to install it to steam and link me account, even tried on lutris. The ea app window briefly launches and then stops running (I made sure proton and wine compatibilities were met).
Are you running Proton Experimental? Otherwise I’m not quite sure what else to do. EA’s DRM is really ugly and often breaks itself. Proton Experimental usually fixes the breaks quickly.
Yep, lots of posts pointed out that valve usually fixes these issues, but as of now even experimental does not solve the problem.
When I played it the answer was to run “SwGame-Win64-Shipping.exe” instead of whatever stupid launcher it tries to load by default.
Yeah, I guess it’s origin launcher acting up.
If the order felled then the game won’t start. Gotta redo the order
Fair point, if the drm free approach doesn’t work I’ll give this a shot.
