Bug in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor causing pre-order bonus loss

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, an action-adventure game released by Electronic Arts on April 28, 2023, has been causing players to become frustrated due to a bug that causes them to lose their pre-order bonuses. One player complained on the company's official website, claiming that they had lost their Hermit lightsaber components after pre-ordering the game.

EA employee confirms issue and offers temporary fix

A representative from Electronic Arts confirmed that the development team is aware of the problem and is working on a permanent solution. In the meantime, the same EA representative has provided a temporary solution. The solution proposed is to restart the game and reload the save file created when the player received the pre-order bonus.

This is not the first time the game has encountered issues since its initial release. Players have reported a variety of performance issues, most notably on PC, but it appears that console players are also affected. The game's user reviews on Steam have mostly been negative, with players complaining about glitches, crashes, and poor optimization.

The impact on the gaming community

The problem of pre-order bonuses being lost due to bugs is not new, nor is it unique to Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. However, pre-order bonuses are frequently a major early selling point for games, and losing them can be disappointing for players who have invested in a game before it is even released.

The future of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

The permanent fix for the pre-order bonus bug has yet to be announced by Electronic Arts. However, the company has assured stakeholders that it is working hard to resolve the problem as soon as possible. It remains to be seen whether the game's other performance issues will be addressed as soon as possible.

Despite its early issues, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has received positive feedback for its engaging storyline, difficult combat, and stunning graphics. Many players have enjoyed exploring and discovering the game's open-world environment. If the game's issues are successfully resolved, it has the potential to become a beloved addition to the Star Wars gaming franchise.
