Fix 1: Update your graphics driver
Your graphics card (GPU) is the most important component when it comes to determining gaming performance. If you’re using an outdated graphics driver, or the driver is corrupted, you’re likely to encounter game issues. So, you should update your graphics driver to see if it fixes your issue. There are two ways you can do this:
Manual driver update – You can update your graphics driver manually by going to the manufacturer’s website for your graphics product, and searching for the most recent correct driver. Be sure to choose only drivers that are compatible with your Windows version.
Automatic driver update – If you don’t have the time, patience or computer skills to update your graphics driver manually, you can, instead, do it automatically with Driver Easy.
Driver Easy will automatically recognize your system and find the correct driver for it. You don’t need to know exactly what system your computer is running, you don’t need to risk downloading and installing the wrong driver, and you don’t need to worry about making a mistake when installing.
1) Download and install Driver Easy.
2) Run Driver Easy and click the Scan Now button. Driver Easy will then scan your computer and detect any problem drivers.
3) Click the Update button next to the graphics driver to automatically download the correct version of that driver, then you can manually install it (you can do this with the FREE version).
Or click Update All to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers that are missing or out of date on your system. (This requires the Pro version which comes with full support and a 30-day money back guarantee. You’ll be prompted to upgrade when you click Update All.)
If you need assistance, please contact Driver Easy’s support team at support@drivereasy.com.
4) Relaunch your game to test your issue.
If your game still won’t launch, then go ahead with the fix below.
Fix 2: Run your game as an administrator
STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order may not be able to access certain game files on your PC if you’re on a standard user account. To see if that’s the cause of your issue, try running your game as an administrator to give it high integrity access. Here is how to do it:
1) Exit Steam.
2) Right-click the Steam icon and select Run as administrator.
3) Click Yes.
4) Launch your game from Steam.
If this doesn’t work for you, then go ahead with the next fix.
Fix 3: Verify the integrity of your game files
If STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order still won’t launch, you may have one or more corrupted game files that conflict with the game. Try verifying the integrity of your game files on Steam to see if that’s the cause of your problem. Here is how to do it:
1) Run Steam.
2) Click LIBRARY.
3) Right-click STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order and select Properties.
4) Click the LOCAL FILES tab, then click VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME FILES.
This could take several minutes. Wait for the process to be complete. Then, relaunch your game to test your issue.
If your game is still unplayable, move on to the next fix.
Fix 4: Turn off unnecessary programs
Some programs on your computer might conflict with STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order or Steam, causing your game to fail. So you should turn off unnecessary applications during gameplay. Follow the instructions below:
If you’re on Windows 7…
1) Right-click your taskbar and select Start Task Manager.
2) Click the Processes tab. Then, check your current CPU and memory usage to see what processes are consuming your resources most.

If you’re on Windows 8 or 10…

Fix 5: Stop overclocking your CPU
An unstable overclock will crash your game and the whole system. If you overclocked your GPU, that may be the issue. So, you should set your CPU clock speed rate back to the default to see if it fixes your issue.
If your issue continues to occur, go to the next fix.
Fix 6: Increase your virtual memory
Windows will dip into virtual memory for temporary file storage when your computer runs out of RAM. If you don’t have enough RAM and virtual memory, you may not be able to launch your game properly. Try increasing your virtual memory to see if it fixes your issue. Here is how:
