go to the ea app's install folder and right click each EXE file, go into their properties and set them to run as admin permanently, then use task manager to end any EA applications such as the EAservice, then try launching the game again, you might get an admin prompt, select yes/continue

you launch the game from steam tho, which then opens the ea app which then lets you launch the game, it does show up in steam right?

regardless the game not launching is a permission issue with the EA app, i dealt with this several months ago with all my ea games on steam. the steps i shared is how i ended up fixing it.

i posted the steps to make it work.

go to the ea app's install folder which is

"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\EA Desktop"

right click each EXE file,

click on properties and set them to run as admin permanently, do this for EVERY exe in the ea app folder.

then use task manager to end any EA applications such as the EAservice,

then try launching the game again, you might get an admin prompt, select yes/continue
