Can't start the game, being asked to reinstall even after reinstalling twice

Question

Basically title, I'm unable to start the game and I'm hit with an error saying, "There is a problem with your game's setup. Please reinstall your game." Naturally I reinstalled but this didn't resolve the issue, I tried again but no dice.

I've tried launching the game from Steam and EA but both give the same error message. I've also tried verifying the game's files but that didn't change anything either. I'm not sure the issue as I've played the game before, months back, on this same PC.

You will see similar posts throughout EA Forums. You need to install using the launcher for the company you bought the game from - sound like Steam in your case.
Then, you need to always launch from that company's launcher (not directly with EA app).
Your apps may be confused at the moment, so you may need uninstall the game, EA app and Steam and then reinstall Steam and then the game (from Steam).
