Game doesn't launch at all (EASY ANTICHEAT BANNER and closing)

After i hit play in Origin, i see Easy Anti-Cheat banner and then after some couple of seconds it closes and Origin pops up back and it doesn't open the game itself. 

UPDATE 3: I guess this is it boys. Time has come to go and play some other games and don't look back. They released a patch for Apex Legends i get instant error - "Unsupported CPU - CPU does not have POPCNT!". The solution comment is sticked here, so read this guy below. I'm out, peace.
Gonna play Tyranny.;/ 
 

Does this game require SSE 4.1 instructions? This is my rig I’m trying to play on:

Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 2,66 GHz

NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 650 MSI 1GB

4Gb RAM

WIN 10 x64 Pro latest update

UPDATE/ATTENTION PLEASE: Guys, please stop spamming this thread with talking that you are having the same issue. Just please click the button on Original Poster - "I have the same problem". This thread is just too dificult right now to navigate and find a helpful solution! Whining in replies that you are having the same problem is not going to fix the issue. We just need to wait for Respawn and their patch to fix old processor support/or maybe they do not even intend to do it. So anyways, please reply in this post only if you have some solution to fix this problem. Thank you, no offense.

UPDATE 2: added my DxDiag.txt

  • There was an update and it finally implemented an error message. 


    I got: CPU does not have POPCNT!

    I run a q8400...thats it, seems like no Apex for us, who run old CPUs.

    POPCNT was implemented for Intel CPUs with the first i5/7 processors in 2008 (Nahalem structure).

    The wiki article about it (chapter 3.3): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSE4

    It´s a bit of a shame, my CPU is from Q2 2009 but it just has the wrong microstructure :/
