Only if you bought Fallen Order from Steam for now, you should get the account linking when you launch the game.

Hey @dragon_Master298 if you are playing STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order on Steam then you can link your Steam and Origin account by following the steps in this help article: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/star-wars-jedi/star-wars-jedi-fallen-order/star-wars-jedi-fallen-orde...

That guide sadly doesn't tell you how to actually launch it through Steam -> Origin. It just tells you to launch the game through Steam and then sign in on Origin when it opens up. That however does not launch the game. That only brings up a new Origin window telling you that you need to activate "unidentified game" first to play it, asking for a product key. Steam does not provide such a product key when purchasing the game.

Hey @Labargoth are you trying to redeem your code to Origin?

 

I linked my accounts when I got the game and don't recall being asked for a product code. I just had to enter my Origin account details.

Activate "unidentified game" issue for Origin games bought through Steam usually happen if you have active VPN on your system.

Shut down the VPN then restart both Origin & Steam then run the game from Steam, a window to link Steam account to Origin account will pop and then you can play the game.

 

However if you don't have VPN then so far I can only suggest "Run as Administrator" both Origin & Steam

I have an active VPN on. I disconnected from the VPN, restarted steam and origin as you said, but I am still having the same issue.
