First screen shot showing I hopefully did you're first recommendations, assuming by 'reaped' you meant ignore and move on if no errors but posting just to be safe.
Second image, "sfc /scanow" did show some corrupt files, and said they were able to fix.
The last file included was the CBS log from the sfc scan
If my ideas mean anything, I feel that port listening thing is v possible as it launches via steam, opens ea launcher, then steam saying its not running, while ea launcher 'preps game' so I think it never makes it back to steam but Idk how to verify that.
After the repair from sfc, still unable to run (unsure if that was a fix tho) but I have yet to restart my pc either.
side note, thank you for the work you do.
The Bluetooth drivers got repaired, so I hope the BSOD issue with them is solved.

This would only be a problem if you or a security software block this ports. If that is not the case you could test by disabling the Windows firewall and test.
(The firewall should not be disabled for more than a test run!)
Repair the game again and try to run it from EA app.
If that don't helps:
- Go here and download "Revo Uninstaller". (The freeware version, Portable version works too.)
- Run "Revo Uninstaller" > Uninstall EA app.
- At the end of the main uninstall, Revo will ask you which cleaning method you want to use. > Select "Intensive" > Browse.
- If "Remaining registration content found" is displayed > Select All > Delete > Next
- When "Remaining Data and Folders" is displayed > Select All (Make sure the "Origin Games" or "EA Games" folder is not in the list) > Delete.
- Restart the PC > Reinstall the newest version of EA app from here. > Test
Still no luck.
I do see steamweb helper starting in the EA launch processes nowThe next step would be to try it in a new local Windows Administrator account.
You can delete this account later on without changing your main installation.
Create a new Windows user account (Administrator) don't use local special characters, use only Characters from the ASCII table
- Reboot > Log in to the new user account.
- Test.
Hello, Im following your guide since I have a smiliar problem with EA App I guess, Im interested in another game (NFS Payback bought from Steam) but Im still following your suggestions as I cant really launch the game. I already purchased NFS Heat before February, but no problems there, played it fully.
After connecting Steam to EA App, I click on "Play" after few seconds a messagge appears "Preparing game" then nothing happens, no error. Just briefly EA tells me that some functions have been disabled since I launch the game from another platform (same happens if I launch from EA App).
While looking at Task Manager, for few seconds NFS process appears and disappears right after.
I tried all basic solutions (uninstall/reinstall game and EA App, tried clear cache, App repair, Updating and all your suggestions since now, but Ill try once again to be sure).
I thank you for trying to help, If there's something more I can try please let me know.
Did you tried the new Windows User Account?
Good news, I successfully launched and played NFS Payback on the 2nd admin account, this means I made some mistake or something is missing from my main account. What to do now?
This means that some data in your main Windows account is corrupted.
The activation of the second Admin account might solved that problem if you are lucky, so test on your main account as well after restarting the PC.
If that isn't the case you have two options:
- Move your main account to the second account.
Best way is to copy your user account folders (Documents, Music etcetera.) to the Public folder on your system > Log in to the new account > move the data from the public folder into the user account folders of the new account. - Preform a repair install of the OS.
- Move your main account to the second account.
