Repetitive prompt of updating EA Anticheat when launching PVZ:GW2

PVZ:GW2 exits at splash screen and a prompt shows up asking me to manually update EA Anticheat.

However, I've uninstalled and re-installed anticheat for the game using the installer and it does NOT work. The same prompt will still pop up at splash screen and the game exits.

Is there any way to fix this issue? I can't load into the game.
