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)Awesome, will try this out.
Also check PCGW as sometimes the issues actually exist on Windows too (and the same workarounds may apply).
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.
