Update 2.1.0 the game crashes to desktop at launch at the EA Logo intro

problem solved for me, but more by chance: harddrive was overflowing and played up a little, so needed to install a new ssd, wiped everything steam and/or EA related off the old harddrive and the C: drive, put it all on the new drive, works! The so called "customer service" here is beyond sad, I would have never gone to such drastic measures if I didn't have to anyway, so having the game back is none of EAs credit, just pure coincidence.
