Battlefield 1 0x000007b error. Game doesn't start

Hi. I just bought Battlefield 1 from the Steam sale and I'm trying to play it. Whenever I launch the game I get the error in the attached screenshot. I've been trying since last night to fix it, to no avail. So far I tried the following things:

- Reinstalling the C++ redistributables, all of them.
- Reinstalling Battlefield 1 or EA App
- Clearing the EA App cache
- System file checker (sfc /scannow)
- Updating the .Net Framework
- Running as administrator
- Running the game in compatibility mode
- Running chkdsk
- Clean Boot
- Looking for the "ActivationUI" folder in RegEdit (didn't find it)
- Whatever else the people on youtube suggested

Nothing worked. Send help. I have attached my DxDiag to this as well.

    You can try:
    1. Click Start, and then click Run.
    2. Type Regedit, and then click OK.
    3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\ActivationUI.exe
    4. Delete this whole folder.

    There is no ActivationUI in my "Image File Execution Options" folder.

    I did look for this before, i forgot to mention it in the post.
