Most of the time this is caused by third party software, specifically antivirus software. Pause your antivirus and see if that allows the game to launch. If it does, make exceptions for all MEA and Origin folders.

Not sure how anti virus or firewall can be blamed for this when it's apparently something wrong with the Origin client. The debug log has info in it, yet no one at EA had asked for that kind of information or tried to troubleshoot this what-so-ever. They just keep sending "suggestions" on fixes, some of which, like the anti-virus stuff has nothing to do with the problem.
I am hoping and wishing that someone at EA will actually care about this problem and do something about it, but not gonna hold my breath.....

@STAR74MARS To be completely certain that no third party software is interfering, you may want to try to launch the game after performing a clean boot. This restarts your PC with only essential software. https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/
I don't have much experience with the EA app myself because it was still lacking some features when I last tried it. Do you have the same problem when using Origin?
If nothing else, could you post a DxDiag file? Maybe that reveals a clue.
I had problems launching the game too at first. I did not seem to do anything.
I had to force close it to attempt it again.
One day however I forgot to close it down. Went for coffee, when I returned It had a warning about not being able to load savegames from online. After that it started normally.
