keep trying took me about 8 or 9 times before it finally launched.
I think the problem is fixed with January 30, 2019 update. Can someone confirm this?
I tried running it as admin but didn't work, even after restart and clearing origin cache, just waited a couple hours and it worked fine from within origin.
I've been having a similar issue. The game will say that it has launched, and then just not launch if I launch it through either the Origin client or the desktop shortcut. If I go to the installation folder where the game's been installed and launch it from there it launches just fine. The crashes that happen while I'm playing though are another story.
