I had this issue,
It appears if you have any Razr Keyboard or mouse or headset software running, the DA activation exe wont run/complete running.
If you stop any running Razer processes, DA launches fine, just you cant use your keyboard or mouse macros. (not sure if any other third party apps from other peripheral makers will cause problems, but might be worth disabling them all if your having problems.)
in the end i got a DA crack and cracked my copy, now it launches fine and i can use the razer software, so stupid case again of ligit owners have massive , unanswered problems, caused by DRM and people torrenting the game and stealing it playing fine.
(Not the first EA product i have had to do this with, and i doubt it will be the last, but i will at least crack a copy i have paid for, not steal a copy outright)
Finally, tried the Razer workaround and that worked. Just took the time and posting here to say thanks MarkDBorton. Weeks of not playing because of this bug (nevermind the wasted time with EA support). Installed origin for this game, but just not worth it, after I'm done, that's it origin & all are getting removed from my system.
