PvZ GW2 wont launch / stuck in title loading

also tried:
- clearing cache of EA APP
- using EA Javelin Anticheat installer
- running game as admin
- repairing vc redist's

verifying files via steam says "3 files failed to validate and will be reacquired".
after that i started the game and the issue wasnt fixed.
I verifyed game files again and it again said "3 files failed to validate"

LIKE HUH?

im getting this as well

by launching via steam i also encountered the possibility of the infinite loading screen so it doesnt matter if i launch it via steam or EA app since it either closes after the anticheat popup or goes into infinite loading in general

Support told me that i tried every possible fix they know and that they will relay it to the software department (game hasnt recieved updates in so long) and that they dont have an ETA for me.

2 days ago I installed the game and played after a long time with no problems, but yesterday i had the same problem as the first scenario you mentioned, yesterday i managed to actually make it load after turning off real time protection, i just tried it now again and worked first time

after trying it a bit the server regions show a unusually high ping, and trying to connect to multiplayer lobbies either says that it couldn't find a lobby or has problems connecting with the session, however singleplayer modes seem to work just fine

turning on real time protection after opening the game didn't seem to do anything

Tried turning off everything in windows defender and verify game files again but sadly didnt fix it

still not working
