Respawn Entertainment is in the process of rolling out a patch for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order that addresses some common complaints on the technical side of things, including long load times and texture flickering. The patch is out now on PC, with the PS4 and Xbox One versions coming later this week.

The developer took to the official Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order subreddit to announce the patch, which includes fixes for a handful of performance issues. Without the full patch notes, we're left with just the key changes:

  • Fixed a texture flickering issue that would display on the screen while driving the AT-AT on Kashyyyk
  • Fixed an issue where the input from the arrow keys would sometimes fail to respond within menus.
  • Fixed an issue where Dynamic resolution settings would not save properly.
  • Fixed an issue where the game could become slow and loading times longer than expected.

That last bullet point seems to suggest the new patch addresses framerate issues some players are reporting, but the language is vague enough that it's hard to say for certain. Our own Ben Tyrer wrote in his Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order review that "glitches and framerate stuttering" were prevalent enough issues to warrant mention. It's a good sign that Respawn is taking such quick action to remedy these reported performance hiccups.

Long load times and texture flickering aside, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order has been generally well-received. If you are jumping in, here's how to get your hands on a double-bladed saber early and find different colors.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
