@F4celessK1ng Is Steam, the EA App, and the game all installed on the same drive? Do you have more than one? I have an SSD for Windows and an HDD for everything else.
By what you said it sounds like a permission issue somewhere. Did you disable your antivirus, and add exceptions for the game into the firewall?
Sometimes permission like UAC Controls within Windows or that Window permissions pop-up happens when Windows is locked down prevents it. Especially if the game is closing down.
Can you attach a DxDiag for me?
@EA_Shepard
I have 2 drives, C: is an SSD for Windows and other programs plus some games i want to run faster. D: is an HDD for the more general stuff
the EA App is currently installed to my C: drive, Steam to my D: drive. I've had DA:I installed to both drives while trying to troubleshoot (currently in the D: drive)
The only Antivirus I have atm is Windows Defender, and I disabled it for this, though I never specifically added an exception.

@F4celessK1ng Can you uninstall the EA App from C: and reinstall and default it to D: same location?

@EA_Shepard Just reinstalled EA App to the same drive, no change in result I'm afraid
EDIT: wait, seems we can't change the install location of the EA App? Just where games install to, an interesting design choice.- EA_Shepard3 years ago

@F4celessK1ng When you click on the install, you have to edit the install manually. When you click on install there is a customized setup
Then you change the location of the location to match the same drive as the games as normal. You just change the drive letter and keep the rest the same.

Can confirm as well as multiple comments in other past threads that the app itself cannot be installed to a custom location. The only install location change options are for the games themselves.
