What’s crazy is it took them this long to figure out we want action rpg type Star Wars games. Hasn’t EA been sitting on the rights to use Star Wars in games (exclusively I might add) for like the past decade and it’s now they’re finally making good games. Thanks to respawn.
Would be great if they finished the one they just released!
Patch 7, figured I'd give it a go as there's been many patches. It still crashes very frequently. I don't have a top-notch PC but the components either match or exceed the 'recommended' settings. Seeing lots of people with 4090 also having lots of crashes.
Man, I keep hearing of the game running awful and crashing all the time, but that just was not my experience. I played it from day one. And yeah, the game did crash once and there were stutters in the wide-open areas of Koboh, but those were like half a second and while running around. My rig is no beast either, it's a 5600X and a 3070. As a general rule, at 1080p Ultra, I was getting a stable 60+ fps.
I'd be interested & grateful to know the answer to these qs, on your system... I imagine there are indeed some systems running it fine. Maybe this info can be helpful. Imo, it's a combo of a massive, beautiful game that's not been very well optimised for all PC use cases (which I accept, is a bit of a Sysphean task but other games seem to manage it).
Does your game do the 'compiling system files to improve performance' everytime you start it? I installed on my fastest m2 SSD, with that 'compiler' it takes me almost 10 mins to get into the game proper.
Do you run any overclocking software?
Did you buy the game via Steam or EA (or somewhere else)?
Which launcher do you use (I launch via Steam, going to try bypassing and launching direct from EA today)?
Look, I know Jedi Survivor had some problems. To me, I was able to overlook them pretty easily, so I ended up with a fun action game in a world I enjoy.
They shouldn’t get a blanket pass here at all — they need to be better about releasing non-buggy games. But I still want them to keep going because the games are fun.
