Battlefield 5 won't start

Hello!
I have played Battlefield 5 before and there was no problem. Now I switched to the EA app and downloaded Battlefield 5 again except now it won't launch.
I have no idea what it does because the error message file I don't understand. It just opens up the EA app again and there's no short error message. 
And there's this fenomenon that I only got the normal game, but I got every item that I wasn't supposed to get and was supposed to pay ingame money to buy,
instead I had everything. It might be the problem I don't know. I can't link the error message becasue it says: Unsupported extension type.

  • Update. I see I have an answer I just don't know where those settings are. Also I have one solution and the answer but not a real solution. So the problem is that Origin thinks I have a Definitive edition from Steam. I do not know why (most logical answer is that I do, I just don't know where I got it). EA app does not think I have definitive edition and is trying to run it but it obviously won't allow me to. My solution was to download Origin again and now I can run it from EA app too. I don't know still the real solution but this is definetly one.

    Please in the compatibility options try to disable the run as administration if you have ticked in it.

  • I have the filling EA and DICE will never fix that game. But at the same time they keep pouring massive resources on DEAD project like 2042... and hell why they should apply some desperately asked fixes to BF5 - the most successful of all... 

    SHAME on you EA/DICE

    p,s find the topic here for why BF5 do not start's - but you may loose hope...
