I just ran into this same problem. I'm on a Win 11 pro rig /w 32GB of RAM and a 4070 Ti.
Tonight, I picked up a bunch of the BF games I didn't have on Steam (but on Origin/EA). I reinstalled them all from EA to Steam (BF1,3, 4 and Hardline). I've played them all, but wanted them on Steam for ease of use, trophies, controller support, etc.
All of them worked except for BF1 and V, both are hard freezing my PC when I launch either one, if I had to guess, like most here have, it's something to do with the anti-cheat because it doesn't even get to the point of initializing the video to create a window.
There's clearly a real issue here that is beyond the control of the user, so what is being done, because EA is actively selling these games right now and they are obviously busted for some users.
