Unable to launch Madden with Epic Games and EA App

I just bought Madden 23 through epic games store. I click install, and it installed the EA app. After installing the game, it wont launch. 

Epic games still says "install" underneath the game

EA app launches it and just sits there. 

I have turned off UAC, antivirus and Windows defender. Done all windows updates. Graphics card update. Confirmed EA is linked to Epic. 

Epic will not process a refund so I'm stuck with a broken game that won't launch or communicate EA and confirm it's installed. I even tried multiple hard drive locations. Currently both are installed under drive C. I cleared temps, reinstalled. Still no luck.

    I just installed the EA app and Madden 23 last weekend. It deleted my Origin account for this new EA app. I open EA app, go to madden 23, click on play.. EA app minimizes.. curser goes to a circle for a few seconds.. then the EA app reappears.. nothing happens.. won't play Madden.. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, redownloaded, uninstalled both EA and Madden, reinstalled.. checked Anti virus.. its all allowed to pass through firewall etc.. Tried opening as administer etc etc.. 

    Sucks i pay money for a game I can't even play... 

    all of my pc specs are within requirements to play this game.. there is some kind of bug either on the Madden or EA app ..
