STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order™ has had issues in the past due to incompatibilities between the EA Launcher and Steam OS. Most of these are solved by selecting Proton Experimental in the Steam Deck compatibility options. Note that the game requires a constant internet connection.

You'll get some frame drops when entering new areas for the first time as the Steam Deck collects shaders. You can make these area transitions smoother by letting your Steam Deck download any available shader cache updates when you're in between sessions. The stuttering should disappear once the shaders have been downloaded.

Down below, you'll find three settings configurations for STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order™: best quality, balanced, and best performance. Read on for the best Steam Deck settings for STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order™.
