Game doesn't launch at all, no error

After recent update, when I start the game, after the EasyAntiCheat screen dissapears, its shows the hourglass on the mouse for a few seconds then nothing. When I check Task manager it shows r5apex.exe is stuck at 181-184 mb memory usage, 0-0.9 cpu usage and no i/o activity. Even after waiting or force closing the app, it shows no error and I can't seem to find any error log anywhere (or I'm just blind).

I have tried:

  • Game repair
  • Reinstalling the game
  • Reinstalling the game on Origin and Steam as well
  • EasyAntiCheat Repair
  • Updating GPU driver
  • Updating c++ Runtime
  • Disabling Windows Firewall/ Defender
  • "Clean boot"
  • sfc /scannow

Setup:
Intel I5 3470
Nvidia Geforce GTX1050
10GB DDR3 RAM
Win 10 x64 Pro 1709 build

    Okay, fixed it!
    Just for funz I installed the Nvidia driver like I normaly would on the fresh 1709, with NVCleanstall and I got the same problem that I have on my main pc, but now it also gave me an error code (Finally). So I removed it and munually striped the Nvidia driver and everything was working again. Did the same thing on my main PC but I used DDU just for safety measures, and the game finally started.

    Conclusion:
    F*ck me for being a performance freak and using 3th party&non proprietary softwares and also kinda f- easyanticheat for not giving me an error log in the first place.

    Special thanks to @wolf109909 and @EA_Illium for helping me!
