    Thanks, LeTanuki91​. You are correct! 

    After downgrading my NVIDIA drivers to 572.83, the game launches without issues! I was able to download the old driver here https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/drivers/, if you ever wanted to try downgrading.

    Hopefully future releases are able to support the game again. Not sure if this issue should be raised on the EA side or NVIDIA side
