Game wont launch

PC - Steam, when i press Play, it opens EA App and starts "Preparing game..." and after some loading it closes and opens the EA App and thats it. Tried opening EA App and launching from there, same issue.

Tried restarting PC. Tried validating/repairing files on steam. Tried clearing settings folder. Tried running as administrator. Tried running from local files. Tried disabling EA App Overlay. Tried allowing every single ea/fc process in firewall. Then last step was just uninstalling FC25 and doing a fresh new install, still same issue.

Also been playing the game for past few weeks, this is first time im experiencing this issue.

    As mentioned in my post, i tried all that stuff and nothing worked, last thing i did was completely uninstall STEAM and EA APP and reinstall and it worked, just a note, when you uninstall STEAM all your games get deleted too, so you have to redownload your library. (Uninstalling FC25 and reinstalling didint work, had to uninstall steam and ea app for it to work)

    Hey there. Please also make sure this is not related to a damaged save or settings file. Try making a copy and deleting the existing settings folder from this location C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\EA SPORTS FC 25 (App Data is usually a hidden folder so it can be changed from the View dropdown.) It is possible that the old one was damaged in some way. You may also need to delete the Personal Settings 1 profile when you launch the game.

    Uninstall and reinstall the Steam and EA app using the default installation patch if possible.

    The same thing happened to me the day before yesterday, I went to play FIFA and when I opened it, it threw me into EA and told me that some application was blocking it, I'll do what you wrote, maybe it'll fix it
