STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order™ – Linux (Proton) Guide

1. About the Game

STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order™ is a third-person action-adventure game developed by Respawn Entertainment. It follows a Padawan abandoned and forced to complete their training, develop new Force abilities, and master their lightsaber, all while avoiding the forces of the Empire.

2. Status

Proton. While playable through Proton, the game is not natively Linux. The status on ProtonDB is “Gold,” indicating generally very good compatibility.

3. Tweaks & Workarounds

  • Problem: The game crashes or freezes when opening certain menus, resulting in frame rate drops and crashes.

  • Solution: Trying an older version of Proton, such as GE-Proton10-20, seems to work for most users, both for the game and the EA App.

  • Problem: The EA App blocks Steam Input.

  • Solution: Switch to ProtonGE and launch the game with the following launch option:

"/home/[USERNAME HERE]/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Proton 7.0/proton" run "/home/[USERNAME HERE]/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Jedi Fallen Order/SwGame/Binaries/Win64/SwGame-Win64-Shipping.exe"; killall -9 SwGame-Win64-Shipping.exe # %command%

  • Problem: The game hangs on startup or shortly after.
  • Solution: Edit the EA App configuration file located in the game’s compatdata folder. Modify the following line: cmd=(%command%); cmd[-1]="$STEAM_COMPAT_INSTALL_PATH/SwGame/Binaries/Win64/SwGame-Win64-Shipping.exe"; "${cmd[@]}"

4. Verdict

STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order™ is highly recommended on Linux via Proton. Despite some initial challenges, user reports indicate a generally very good gaming experience with the right Proton and EA App configurations. A clean installation and carefully chosen launch options are essential.
