Titanfall 2 won't start PC

Hello I bought TF2 on steam (alongside Battlefield 1) and it won't start. Pressing play on steam opens the EA launcher, where it loads saying "preparing game" for a minute before just showing the TF2 page. The EA launcher itself doesn't have a play button, stating "Deluxe edition accessed through Steam" (also trying the .exe did nothing new). What makes this stranger is that although both TF2 and Battlefield 1 are EA launcher games that I bought together, BF1 launches up just fine.

I've also tried verifying the game cache/files on steam. Uninstalling/Reinstalling the game. Manually deleting the files and reinstalling the game. Contacting EA support (steam support doesn't handle games that open through the EA launcher). Waiting a few months in case the launcher needed a patch or something.

I don't want a refund, I want the game to launch. Do you have any ideas of things to try or ways to contact an actual person to ask them about this?
