Battlefield 1 (steam) is not launching, tried everything

Battlefield 1 not launching at all. I press play (doesn't matter if it's on steam or EA app), it says "preparing game", closes the EA app, then opens the EA app again while stopping the launch of BF1.  After stopping launch it boots up EA app for less than 1 sec with pop up - some features have been disabled because the ea app launched from another application after that it will lauch EA app normaly but still no boot with game.

Everything I've tried:

Reinstalling Battlefield 1 - nothing

Reinstaling, repairing, updating AntiCheat - nothing

updating registry - nothing

Reinstalling EA App - nothing


Repairing EA App - nothing

Clearing EA App Cache  - nothing

Verifying Game File Integrity on Steam  - nothing

Updating my graphics drivers - nothing

Changing compatibility modes of both Battlefield 1 and EA App, Steam (Windows 8 and Run as Admin in every combination) - nothing

Changing Battlefield 1 config file - nothing

Checked Windows Defender - nothing

Checked Firewall - nothing

Changing EA App installation path - nothing

I did everything 

Battlefield V and 2042 works fine.

I have 2 copies of BF1. One is on EA and second is on Steam. I downloaded BF1 from steam and it just wohnt boot. now i cant even boot up that copy from BF1.

Yesterday I once boot up that game and played for 4 hours. After i closed game it didnt boot up back.

Please help me. I really want to play that game :(

    So I managed to boot up BF1 but everytime i want to boot it up i need to do clean reinstal off graphic drivers from NVIDIA GeForce. I have RTX 3070 8GB. Can you please try to fix this bug?

    Have you tried moving or deleting the Battlefield 1 folder out of the Documents folder?

    If you move it you'll have it as a backup. It contains all your mouse, keyboard, video, and sound settings.

    That is funny that it can crash pc. Yesterday i contacted EA support. They will give that case to dev team and they will hopefully try to fix it but for now they dont have fix. Also support told me to create this thread for dev team to search for this common problem so hopefully some dev will answer to this thread and fix this issue.

    Sorry for the necro but I'd like to bring the following resources to your attention, as they helped me.

    steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3390830962

    From a reddit post:
    "Turn off ASUS GameFirst. It has some kind of conflict with EAAC."
    "Try repairing the C++ redistributable 2013 and the 2015 one. That’s what the problem was for my friend"

    And lastly reinstall your EA app.

    I'm not sure which one fixed it for me, or if it's a combination, but yeah. Hoping it helps someone out.

    Hi there. I'm literally experiencing the exact same thing. It's a really strange error. I've already tried everything you tried, and more—I've even looked for solutions on forums and Reddit—but it's really odd because yesterday I was able to play without any issues for maybe an hour or more. Then I closed the game and tried to play again, but it won't let me.

    One curious thing is that I also have the RTX 3070 8G. I’ll try reinstalling the game and the drivers, and I’ll let you know how it goes.
