While you wait for the next update, take a look at our fix list for the most common issues beating the game right now.
How to Fix Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order Download Issues
Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order requires quite a large download, so it may take some time to complete. Mileage will vary based on your connection.
We expect download times to improve as the rush to play the game dwindles, but there are some things you can try if your download is taking too long or is getting stuck.
If your game download gets stuck, try pausing the download, waiting a few seconds, and restarting. If that doesn’t work, try canceling the download (not ideal, we know) and restarting.
If the actual download speed is abnormally slow, try plugging your ethernet cable directly into your console or Windows PC. This can speed up the download process especially if your system is far from your router.
If none of these work, you should try restarting your router. Unplug your router, wait a minute or two, and plug it back in.
How To Fix Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order Installation Issues
Again, the game requires quite a bit of space and storage issues can sometimes prevent games from loading properly. If you’re having trouble installing the game, make sure it’s not storage related.
If you’re playing the game on Xbox One, go to My Games & Apps and check how much storage you have on your internal/external storage.
If you are playing on PlayStation 4, you need to go to your console’s Settings and check your free space.
If you’re sure you have enough space, but the game still doesn’t load properly, try resetting your console.

If your game suddenly crashes in a cutscene or other part of the game, you’ll want to restart the game. If it’s still happening, try restarting your PS4, Xbox One or Windows PC.
