I managed to get my game working after constantly getting dx error and failure to launch for the last 4 days... for me, I right clicked the desktop shortcut for EA app. From there at the bottom there is a button for open file location(for me it took me to C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\EA Desktop. right click the eadesktop.exe app for the launcher and go to the compatibility tab. Half way down should be run as admin box . Make sure thats clicked. Do the same process for the game shortcut itself( my game was installed on d drive). I cant say for sure that this will work for you as well but i hope that if at least one person gets the games running from this, then im more then happy i was able to help.
*NOTE*
Things I did try included but had no success

Windows update was up to date
Ran hard drive tests to make sure it wasnt drive failure
Used Commant prompt "sfc /scannow" to check for windows corruption
