[Steam] - Dragon Age Inquisition won't launch with EA app

I bought the GOTY version on steam and cannot play it. The EA desktop app doesn't launch it. I've tried many "fixes" and none of them worked.  EA_Blueberry Edit: merged some threads into this one ...

@Nyakuya Kaspersky is known to have a lot of issues with games period. Not just EA games. Have you disabled it to test it?

@My 2 cents:

Game does not start in similar way, as already mentioned few times before: EA app closes and instead starting the game, nothing happens, just EA app pops out again after few seconds. And thats it.

I tried to run it from Explorer, by double clicking on .exe file and got [The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)] error. Well i have all my .NET Framework and DX up to date so that message is just BS.

And in the end i tried one more thing and (yes i admit) downloaded the game from torrent, and what do u know. Pirate game works normally.

So logical conclusion: Its EA app that is obstructing the game.

    Well since you throwed the first stone I will throw the second.
    I also downloaded it by torrent to check if the problem was the game or the EA App. To no one's surprise, it was EA App, because the torrent downloaded game worked perfectly.
