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!

@wolf109909 I can't find the tool mentioned, can you please provide a link?
I always use Visual C++ Runtime Installer (All-In-One) to install runtimes, just now I also manually went through every runtime and pressed repair and used the DXSETUP.EXE located in \Apex\__Installer\directx\redist\ to install the dlls manually.
Also booted into a fresh 20H2, installed the drivers, used the link above and the game started on steam just fine.
Also linked a printscreen, maybe you can see any missing runtimes.

@DDevla VC runtime seems fully install on the screenshot. maybe something around the DirectX part is broken. anyways, here is the software I use to address issues around runtimes:

I uploaded it to my own website for convenience, but please tell me if the connection speed is not good. this server has a maximum upload speed of around 500KB/s.

@wolf109909 I'm gonna go away for a hour or two, so if it cost you money to keep it on the server you can safely disable it. I don't wanna waste your money :D , don't worry about the download speed I have seen worst from my ISP during the pandemic.
Also I was able to start the game on a fresh 1709 so the windows version isn't the issue.

@DDevla It's okay. the money running this server is paid by players of my Garry‘s mod community server if you know that game. And I pay it annually so adding files to it doesn't cost any. feel free to download it! if it's too slow I will upload it to public cloud services like one drive or google drive.

@DDevla your welcome! always remember to use DDU to clean the driver before reinstalling it!
