I also had this problem, this is what solved for me.
I had previously uninstalled punkbuster due to some issues I was having with other games, so I downloaded it from this link https://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe

I hope this work for as many people as possible, as I was all day trying to find a solution without any results, until a friend of mine suggested that I could be having those issues because of punkbuster.
I also changed the installation drive where my game was installed, and then clicked on the install option on Origin. I think it then recognized the game was already installed by Steam.
