I had a couple of edited replies posted but never mind that. After trying @0isc8mrmgr08 's suggestion I did some testing and the results are thus:
DA:I launches successfully in Steam, EA app, via Frosty, via FrostyFix, or any combination thereof. I even changed the launch options in the mod manager to work through Steam instead of EA. The game launched and a character was loaded successfully with and without mods. No other PC user account was used. All executables were run as admin.
No surprises then. As we all knew that the problem was EA App and not our PCs.
The game worked before EA App, and not after EA App, is just simple to deduce.
Thank you for testing it and sharing your results. It's way more than what EA is doing.
