Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 Not Opening

I've been trying to open PvZGW2 for a long while now and nothing has worked. I've tried using both Origins and the EA app but both do the same thing; it closes Origin/EA app for a second, and then it...

    I managed to fix it just now, try doing this:

    Open the start menu and type in "environment variables"


    If you happen to see something that says "GAME_DATA_DIR", delete that.

    What's weird is that "GAME_DATA_DIR" was a star wars battlefront 2 thing, so I have no idea why that affected pvz.

Literally bought the game yesterday worked perfectly fine. Now I cant even get past the launcher. I have a 3050ti and 16gb of ram so I dont think its my pc. ( I also updated drivers, refreshed steam cache, restarted pc, and reinstalled still no fix)

Happens to me too. I know my PC is capable of running it because it did launch once.

    Hi, for me the ea app is the problem. I can tell u. On Origin all runs fine. I ve got PVZ GW2 Deluxe Edition. On Ea ive only got the normal garden Warfare 2.

    And now i can´ßt find no other players 4 munltipayer games. 

    The EA support is not able to help. i want Origin back.

    As you can see on the pics, it says that deluxe is included. But it does not show up at the game and i can still purchase it.

      I'm guessing no one can help an Xbox player who's dealing with this same ridiculous crap of the game not wanting to open. It says it just doesn't connect. I just wanna take over some turds
