Can't launch on Steam from Main User on PC

If I try to launch the game on my main user account on my PC from Steam, the game will crash at the splash page, before the actual application opens. This was an issue for me back in the beta. The solution I've found is to create a new user and play that way, which does work. But I don't want to swap users every time I want to play the game.

The only other thing I've heard of that causes it, is that if you are signed into your Microsoft account on your user account, that is an issue. I've signed out of it, and it's still an issue.

It doesn't make sense that I have to create a new user to play the game on my PC.

Can I please have help?

    I am having the exact same issue.  I have tried every. single. fix. listed on the internet and I still cannot launch the game where it was working fine before.

    Updated literally everything (BIOS, chipset, GPU drivers, fresh windows 11 install, verified secure boot) as well as setting to compatibility mode/launch as admin.  reinstalled the game twice as well as Javelin AC.  Defaults for (or lack thereof) overclocking, PBO off, default CPU clock speed, XMP on and Off - still nothing.

    What the hell I was playing just fine for 50+ hours and now I cannot launch?!  Please help EA PLEASEEEE

    Same here! On Steam, click start, see splash screen, Then closes. Green start button comes back.

    Tried repairing EAAnticheat..Did nothing.

    This needs a fix now or I need a refund. Everything worked for 55 hours prior to today's update.

    Same here. Was like that in beta from EA app, and continues to be an issue for full game on Steam. Crashes immediately after splash screen for main Windows user. Signing out of Microsoft account does nothing.
