Game won't start - PC

Followed most of the steps I found to fix, nothing helped.

My game was running fine just a few days ago. All I did was make a new admin account on my PC, and reinstalled the game and now it doesn't work at all.

  • Updated Drivers
  • Cleared Steam Download Cache
  • Disabled G-SYNC
  • Verified game files
  • Cleared EA App cache
  • reinstalled the game, reinstalled EA App
  • Disabled Firewall
  • Gave admin access to the game and launcher for all users
  • Disabled nvidia, discord, and steam overlays

I have a 4090, 13900k, 64GB RAM, 1.5TB available SSD storage. Should have absolutely no issues :/

    @Rokebo73 I ran into issues because for some reason I didn't have an easy anti cheat folder.

    I got frustrated so I just gave up and completely reset my PC. The game seems to work again now.

    Thanks for all your help along the way though!
