Battlefield 1 won't launch

I bought Battlefield 1 on Steam a year ago and it ran smoothly with no problems. However, when I tried to install it again recently, I encountered an issue: the game wouldn't launch and just kept validating on Steam while the EA app showed 'Preparing the game'. I waited for the validation process to finish three times and reinstalled the game twice, but neither of these solutions worked.

Then I open the game directory files and launch the game from there. The EA app just shows me this kind of error message.

    The only thing I can suggest is reinstalling both your game and the EA app on a different drive. This issue is fairly common, but it’s usually resolved after a full reinstallation.
