Jedi Fallen Order Won't Launch From Steam

[RickHunter33]

The game won't launch from Steam, where I got it from, and keeps giving me an error "Relaunch your game to continue linking accounts"

So I've relaunched my game SEVERAL times and still get the same damn error.

@EA_Atic I actually had someone else help me figure it out! Steam's family share was blocking the linking to Origin for some reason and I had to turn it off to get it to work.



The solution you suggested I had tried multiple times beforehand but still, thank you for trying to help

Hey @RickHunter33  Do you have Origin installed if yes, try uninstalling Origin and then start JFO from Steam and see what happens.

i have this same issue and tried this same thing, the game said "download origin"

Nice job ea

EDIT: tried the family share thing and it didnt work. when launching the game, origin seems to reload, and then it says im in game, but steam says the game needs to be launched and nothing loads

So this might not be the same issue, but after i bought the game through steam and installed it... it would start but an Origin screen would quickly pop up and then minimize. This would have a process running that would say it had an error connecting my accounts and to relaunch the game.  My problem was fixed by going in the display settings on my computer, and turning down the magnification to 150% or below. I use it on my livingroom tv and when in 4k it tries to magnify the screen for easier reading.  When i lowered this down, the origin page came up and allowed me to log into my account and connect the game. After, i was able change the settings back to normal, and play.

I have been trying to get this game to work for over an hour, and I am so happy I stumbled onto this thread. Your solution of changing the display size worked. Thank you!!

@funkprod Thank you! I looked everywhere for a solution to this problem. Neither EA nor Steam support were any help and the forum fixes weren't working either. I had to turn mine down all the way to 100% but it works now.
