Can't Open Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare

I am having issues opening Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare, and i need this fixed. I have tried running the game in origin, running it as administrator, changing the language settings for the game, but nothing is working. I also tried to do a clean boot but that ended up disabling most things on my computer so i couldn't even open the game.

I'm sure some people have found solutions to this problem but I haven't. I just want to play the game. I was able to play it when i first bought it for PC but a few months later I try to play the game again which is when the issue came to my knowledge. I'm able to open the other PvZ games (although I bought those on Steam) but I cant open this one.

If anyone has a solution or anything to say then please do so.

    I dont get any error messages when I open the game. I'll just click play, it says its preparing the game, the window goes away for awhile, and then the ea app opens again like i just closed the game.

    Perhaps its has something to do with the activation ui because in the task manager it pops up briefly and when i tried to open it in origin the window appeared briefly but then closed immediately.

    I also attempted to open a different game i own from the ea app (not steam) and it worked like a charm.

    I have the same problem. When I try to open the game I get a Crash Report Window. I contacted support and gave me several tips including repairing the anti cheat software "picnic", running without the steam overlay, running as an admin but, still nothing worked.

    They said they'll escalate my case and to also report the problem here. Someone please help if you've found a solution.
