EA APP & STEAM are incompatible?? Game Wont Launch (FIXED)

[xXPRETZELLXx]

so after a bit of digging it turns out that you cant launch the game with the new EA app due to the app not being compatible with steam yet....
this was as of 11/12/2022 not sure if anyone has a fix but so far all i can find is it only works with Origin.

veryfing steam local game files works for me

Yes, I met your problem too, do you have a solution?

[Comrade Lichen]

also having the same issue

[xXPRETZELLXx]

I have found a fix thanks to "ds" in the steam forums.

heres the steps
1. right click Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order
2. go to Manage - Browse Local Files
3. open SwGame
4. Open Binaries
5. Open Win64
6. use " SwGame-Win64-Shipping.exe" to launch the game

You wont have access to achievements but you will be able to play. lets hope EA either fix there app or shut down there app and let the professionals handle game libraries...

"ds" provided this link that has the answer:

Bescrawl, I tried this and it did not work for me, I get the splash screen and then the game crashes. Do you know any fixes for this?

[Glengarry's Glen Mod]

anyone fix this? none of these solutions work for me - 'fails to launch' via EA pop up or 'you do not have access to this game'. THIS ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ DRM ♥♥♥♥ SHOULD BE ILLEGAL I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ PAID FOR THIS

Comrade Lichen,
Sorry my method couldn't help you.
I will link some websites offering a range of troubleshooting methods to hopefully provide some insight
also make sure your drivers are up to date as well as windows updates.

Version 2019 fix (may need to update game version? reinstall, verify game files)

Bescrawl, Thanks it's working for me and you can do the same thing on Battlefront 2 if its bugging like this.

This is from another thread written by a user called " Huntress". This is the only solution that worked for me that included all steam and EA app integration.


"Had this same issue and EA tech support wasn't much help since their info on how to fix the issue seems out of date. They directed me to fix the install path EA Play has/is using try to find the game in. They wanted me to do so using options that EA play doesn't have for a game that is managed by steam (their options only do so for games on Origin). As the issue seems to be EA Play trying to locate the game in the wrong location.

So i found the fix for this which was something that someone else posted in a similar thread. This fixed everything for me and even am getting my Steam achievements for the game now. The fix requires going into RegEdit and fixing EA play's install directory path for the game that way, so it will look in the right spot.

Follow these steps:
1. hit your windows key and search for "regedit"
2. go to "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Respawn\Jedi Fallen Order"
3. Change the value of the variable "Install Dir" to whatever your install directory is for the game in steam.

Thank you so much for posting this! This was exactly my issue and changing the registry fixed it immediately.
