Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order became an instant fan-favorite when it launched back in 2019, and its highly anticipated and critically acclaimed sequel, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, has finally launched and is now available for all to play. However, Cal Kestis’ return isn’t without its problems, as players have begun to report bugs, glitches, and other launch issues they’ve experienced while starting their new adventure in a galaxy far, far away.
Thankfully, Respawn Entertainment has committed to fixing bugs and improving performance in patches that are scheduled to come “in the weeks ahead.” Until then, though, it’s important to be aware of known bugs and their potential workarounds so you can do your best to avoid and mitigate them. In this article, we’ve documented every issue and fix we’ve seen so that you know what to look for and how to deal with these problems when they occur.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor — Top bugs and launch issues
These are all of the biggest bugs and issues impacting Star Wars Jedi: Survivor players. While everyone won’t experience them as they play, a large number of players have reported their presence and have been affected negatively by them.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor PC performance issues
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’s PC performance has proven to be less-than-stellar at launch, with many outlets reporting big framerate drops in open areas and large battles. If you’re experiencing these, try lowering your settings and/or restarting the game.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor screen tearing
If you’re experiencing lots of screen tearing in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor on PC, try turning on V-Sync and see if that solves the problem. Also, if your monitor supports NVIDIA G-Sync or AMD FreeSync, there’s a very good chance that using it will eliminate screen tearing. If neither of these solutions work or you’re experiencing screen tearing on consoles, you’ll need to wait for a patch from the developers.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor cutscene bugs
Some have reported that the game’s framerate nosedives pretty hard during cutscenes, and that objects in the scenes distractingly “pop in” as well. Unfortunately, there’s currently no fix for this issue, so players will have to wait for a patch.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor crashing
If you’re experiencing crashes while playing, there’s unfortunately not much you can do beyond resting at Meditation Points as much as you can. This saves your progress, and will hopefully mitigate your lost progress whenever your game crashes.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor HDR not working
Some players have reported that HDR is broken in their game, with it causing most things on-screen to become pitch black and glitchy looking. You can try restarting or reinstalling the game to fix this, but simply turning HDR off will also stop the problem from happening until Respawn deploys a fix.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor HDR settings revert
If you ever experience a crash, there’s a good chance that your HDR settings will be reverted back to the default options. Sadly, there’s currently nothing you can do about this beyond correcting all of your settings each time.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is finally here, and for fans of the galaxy far, far away, it’s undoubtedly one of the best Xbox games around. It’s available for $70 on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows PC, PS5, and PS4.
