BF II not starting

I own both SWBFII and TFII on steam, however, unfortunately, it needs the EA client to run them... I cnanot for the life of me get either running. I've uninstalled, reinstalled the EA App, the games, verified files, checked all drivers, updated as needed. Made sure DX12 was off. Still, no launch. Hit the play button on steam, EA Client opens, then the play button reappears on steam, EA Client, closes, and restarts like nothing was pushed.. Try launching from EA Client, same thing. No errors, client closes, restarts with nothing happening. Super frustrating as it's run before. TF2 has the exact same issue...
