Game will not launch on PC

When I try to launch the game I get a small black window that crashes after a couple seconds. All recommended specs are exceeded and the game is installed on an SSD. I've tried updating my GPU drivers and verified the game files with no luck. Windows 11, i9 10850K, RTX 3080 Ti, 32GB RAM.

    I managed to get it to launch by lowering my display resolution from 1440p to 1080p. After the first launch it seems to run fine. I hope this helps anyone else dealing with this.

    Hallo there

    there has been a new update a day ago from the game itself (EA app). Did you install it?

    Do you have an ssd drive? I've installed it on an M2. I've read that on classic disc drives it could be a problem.

    My system is over both min and recommended specs.

    I have EA Play Pro.

    I have sufficient space on the machine. I have reinstalled twice - on an SSD.  I have updated literally everything.

    I have tried every listed answer.  Windows 10, Ryzen 7 3800XT 8-Core, RTX 3070, 32 Gb ram

    I tried editing the display resolution as recommended above - nothing changed, game won't launch

    This game will not launch regardless of what I do, what fix I try, what instructions I follow.  The closest I get is "your game falied to launch - an error on our end caused your launch to fail, try again little later."  this never resolves - so can you please fix the god damn error on your end?  thanks.
