[Steam] DA:I Wont Launch Due to EA app Closing

Hi, I'm writing here because I've read all the solutions and my DAI still can't run because the EA app starts it and closes it again. I followed the steps to install mods and after that this started happening to me, I reinstalled the game and nothing, it even asked me to give the game permissions to start when I already started it as administrator.

I've also already added the folder to the antivirus exclusions.

Can someone please help me, I've had this problem for two days, neither DAO nor MELE give me these problems.

    If this problem started to happening after you installed Mods it is likely that the mods are still present in the game folders.

    Hi, I was able to fix it, I had to delete a folder that contained the word "DIR", it seems that the problem is the Frosty mods, but I have installed those mods with a current video and step by step, I don't understand why it breaks the game.

    I tried both and nothing works.

    I don't know why it doesn't work for me, I installed the mods with guides and step by step. DAImods works perfectly.

    This is a pretty good YouTube tutorial on how DAI and Frosty Mods work together.

    I am a bit out of the loop regarding DAi modding, the only games I modded in the last 2 years is BG3 and the Witcher, so I don't know if FrostyFix or DatapathFix are still necessary for modding Frostbite games inside EA app. 
    They where necessary because EA app was not handling command line arguments as Origin did.

    That's exactly the video I used to install the mods, but when I started it from Frosty it told me the game was starting from another path or that it needed administrator rights which Steam and EA have.

    I can't say why your Frosty mods don't work.

    Might be the easiest to clean reinstall the game (Make sure that the entire game folder is gone) and start from scratch.

    Make sure the Frosty mods work before you attempt to install DAI mods.
