Battlefield V failed to launch from Steam EA play

Hi, i have a problem with EA play bought on Steam, where i downloaded Batllefield V. 

I downloaded Battlefield V on Steam, tried to launch it, and once it openes EA app, there is an error message saying it "Failed to launch game" (An error on our end caused launch to fail. Try again a little later). 

There are two things i discovered that might help resolve the problem. 

1) Altough i have EA play activated on steam and i have account linked, i dont have it in the EA app.

2) I can login to my EA account by two different e-mails which seems weird to me, so i thought it may cause the trouble because the primary email for EA isnt the same for Steam. Can´t change the primary email so it would match, because the email adress is already registred (that one i use for steam).

I dont know what to do next, and i found only unresolved threads, so i hope it wont work so i can rip my hair out of my *.

  • Okay i finally solved it, for everyone having problem with this, just dont launch the game with steam "Launch" button or what is it (engllish is not my first language so im not using it), just find the steam directory ([your drive with the game]:\Steam\steamapps\common\Battlefield V), find bfv.exe, launch it and it works.
