[Pc-Steam] - Unable to launch game from Steam. Given"failed to launch game"error

I am unable to launch my Steam copy of Titanfall 2. After attempting to launch it the EA app will appear and spit out an error (image linked)

last time I can find confirmation of playing was in January of last year but didn't play much after that due to the server issues. My first attempt at playing the game again was around 2 weeks ago at which point this issue began

Attempted fixes

-Deleting & Reinstalling Titanfall 2

-Deleting & Reinstalling EA app

-Repairing file integrity

-Clearing EA app cache

-Clean booting computer

-Booting Titanfall 2 with Admin privileges

-Booting EA app with Admin privileges

I've never received a proper error code either so I don't even have a code to add to this

    Hi @Atroniac, Can you check and confirm the older Origin client is not installed on your device stilled?

    @EA_Illium Origin is currently not installed on my system

    The only other bit of info I have is this info that pops up when I hover the game in the ea app however I can't find any other copy of titanfall on my system

    Hi @Atroniac Thanks for this information!

    To check are you installing the game on your C driver or another drive? 

    If seems EA app is seeing some file as incorrect or possibly corrupted. After you uninstall the game, have you tried running anything like revo uninstaller or CCleaner to ensure it is wiped from your PC before restarting and trying to reinstall?

    @EA_Illium yes during previous conversations with ea support they've had me use revo to make sure Titanfall is wiped (pic from revo uninstaller where titanfall should be if it were installed)

    HI @Atroniac Thanks for the update, 

    We might be running into an issue with the EA App itself. We can try the additional steps mentioned in our thread here

    If not we may need to provide your EA app information there as well.
