Anthem taking forever to launch

Hey all! 

Just recently I have encountered an issue where Anthem takes around 5 minutes to open (after pressing play from EA) to then sit at a black screen in windowed mode for around another 5 minutes, finally I get onto the main menu (fullscreen) only to press [space] to play, where it stutters my pc and the game (audio bugs out, game freezes) for it to continue loading. Finally after all that it starts loading normally, only to bring me back to the main menu, saying I lost connection. If you need additional info lmk cause I have tried every fix under the sun and nothing is working.
