Battlefield V Won't Launch, Stuck In A FIle Validation Loop That Does Nothing.

I've been trying to launch Battlefield V for the past 18 hours. Every time I do, a message appears from origin that says "Preparing Game". The message disappears and steam validates the files. After roughly a minute or two of that, the green "play" button appears again.

Every time I try to start the game, it starts the same loop over and over, nothing happens, and I'm still stuck at the loading screen. Manually validating the files does nothing, repairing the ea app doesn't do anything, which was what people where suggesting for battlefield 2042's validating loop issue. Reinstalling Battlefield V did nothing other than waste 5 hours of my time, Clearing the download cache of both steam and ea desktop did nothing.

Nothing I'm doing seems to be working, it almost certainly has to be an ea app issue because the game won't start without it. The app will run momentarily, then stop completely while steam validates the files, which does nothing.

So, if anyone has had this issue and has a solution not mentioned here, I'd love to hear it. Because this is ridiculous.
