Battlefield Hardline & 3 launching error

Hi there y'all!
Recently, I got many of the Battlefield saga games for PC through Steam.
Since then, have already tried a few, as BFV, 4 and 2042 without issues. On the other hand, for BF Hardline and BF3 I've been experiencing en constant launching error which won't allow me to play the games so far.
I've contacted EA support, which sent my request to a "specialist" team. We've tried a lot of things together already, nonetheless, the issue still remains. When I open the game, either through Steam's app directly, or within EA, it tells me to open EA's app. Which, I have installed and open as due. When there, by clicking on "play" campaign, it loads an anti-cheat thing, that no says "completed without error". Then, nothing happens. It simply coses up and back the initial place once again. I've tried cleaning cache, checking the files state within Steam. Uninstalling both the game, EA App and Steam. Re-installing them all. Changing browser. Also been mentioned to go check some compatibility issues. Still, nothing happens so far.
I don't fully get why EA support has literally prompted me to post the issue here, according to them I'll be contacted to solve the issue, still a bit odd of a system.
That said... anyone might have experienced the same thing? I play on Windows 11.
I'd appreciate any help with this.

    I have same problem. BF4 works OK, but not Hardline.

    Hello trippymaggot​,

    They say this when they are not able to resolve the issue. Have you tried launching the game from inside of the EA app without using Steam?

    Hm, I see... A bit odd, on their behalf, that the cannot solve an issue like this, I mean... Who else if not?

    Yes, I have. Sadly, believe me when I say that I've tried every potential conventional -so to say- way of resolving the issue, even a bit further by chatting with support. Still with the same thing yet so far.

    No trouble with BF4. It's BF3 and Hardline for me. Well, now that you mention it... Not the same thing but on BF4, each time the mission requires you to go into the water, the game goes wild crazy. The map and controls collapse completely and I begin to sink in the ocean tens of thousands of meters deep. Which, obviously forces me stop to quit the game. I could not play it anymore as I've been stucked there... It's terrible...

    Try the following steps, I can't think of anything else that is causing the issue.

    Click “view site information” next to the Battlelog URL, then open “site settings” and change “apps on device” to “allow.”
