Steam/EA App Games no longer launching

So recently on 10/09/2024 is when the issue first began. I go to boot up Dragon Age Inquisition from my EA Play subsrciption on Steam. Doesnt boot up but instead loops a boot up sequence constantly closing and opening but never launching the game. I look up methods that have worked before and none have worked at all for me. So today I thought to myself well maybe its just Dragon Age. Nope, turns out it must be every EA game because I cant even launch the Battlefield 2042 I bought off Steam either. Except with BF2042 Im met with a prompt from steam saying something went wrong during its launch. I even uninstalled the EA App that downloads for any EA game now and reinstalled it to no sollution or fix. If anyone can help please do. I'd really like to play the new Dragon Age but as of now looks like itll be a refund. Ill link some of the fixes Ive tried as well. Oh also when I tried using the app to report it gave me message pretty much saying the app isnt working right cause we dont take complaints. The whole app recovery thing doesnt work either.

    Hi there, 

    I'm sorry to hear you're unable to launch your EA games. Since you mentioned that there's no error message and the game just doesn't launch, there might be a program conflicting with the games and the EA app. Please have a look at this article to see if there are no possible programs installed on your device causing this issue: Closing background applications. You can also try a Clean Boot to disable these background programs: How to clean or safe boot your computer

    I hope this helps!
