EA FC 26 Crashes upon start up

Have had the same issue every fifa playing on PC - splash screen loads then disappears and takes me back to EA app screen - then the EA app crashes. My current version is on steam - I’ve done the below 

safe boot from bios, repair game files, cleared cache both on my computer and in ea app, disabled start up apps, removed any USB devices, deleted the game/ea app and reinstalled, turned off smoothing on nvidia, changed permissions on windows to make sure it isn’t conflicting with the app, updated drivers for GPU/processor/windows/motherboard, lowered graphics settings on start up through steam app. 

I have had no luck with launching the game - please provide real feedback on how to even load up ea fc 26
