Origin game won't launch (GRID Legends)

Hi! I recently claimed GRID Legends on Amazon Prime Gaming whilst it was given as a free full version game on Origin. It says that if we have claimed the game, we will have the game permanently. I have successfully claimed the game, it's already showing up on my origin library, I have installed the game completely. However, every time I opened the game, nothing happens, origin closes for like 10 seconds and it re-appears after. I tried running other Origin games such as NFS Heat and NFS Payback which I bought from Steam and it worked fine! I have tried everything from:

- Running Origin and the game as administrator
- Try repairing, verifying, and updating the game via Origin
- Turning off Origin In-Game Overlay

- Running Origin on offline mode
- Reinstalling the game

- Completely removed Origin and all of its components (including from registry editor)
- Try running the game using an older version of Origin
- Updating graphics driver
- Stopped all background processes (including origin)

- Try using a clean/safe boot

Meanwhile, I have compatible computer requirements to play the game, I also have the newest version of DirectX12, the newest graphics driver, windows is up to date, and plenty of space. Can someone help me? I have reached out to EA but they haven't responded yet.

Here's the video to show you guys what happens every time I run the game

*Please note that the video is from yesterday. I uploaded it just to show you guys what happens exactly every time I try to run the game*

    @zorro19551   Frustrating ain't it!  Especially with GL patch V3.3 out today!

    Whenever I have had such game launcher issues with Origin pc, here's my solution is that usually resolves it;

    1) Disable Origin overlay in both its own Origin app settings and then also GL game properties via library.  Exit Origin.  (You can enable it later once GL's actually ran successfully.)  In W10 task manager [Ctrl+Shift+Esc] ensure no Origin tasks whatsoever are shown, if they are, close 'em!

    2) Then I go here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170  and choose the X64 download.  Run as Admin, and eventually you should see:

    Reboot pc.  Now (using latest suite of uncorrupted C++ redist's 🧙) run Origin pc, run fully downloaded and updated GL v3.3, report back here.

    Worth a go whilst you await... EAHelp? 🤐  Up to you.  I had AmzP GL running fine within minutes, and perhaps my solution may help you get racin' too! 🥳

    ps - You can all google for the correct MSVC++ files yourselves if you are frightened by the above MS link!

    pps - I don't try and use EA Desktop App beta pc anymore, life's too short.
