Hello, I wanna gather people who might have the same problem- I have seen a lot of posts about this online on Reddit and such too.
Apparently, it has happened after the new anticheat was introduced- I do not get an error or anything similar, the anticheat splashscreen loads, dissapears, and the game closes- both on Steam and EA. The EA app then opens again but with no error.
I have tried SO many morbid fixes like running certain things as administrator, clearing cache, reinstalling the whole thing multiple times... It has become very frustrating and so I gave up with these random fixes, I should not be a technician to play this game.
Anyone else got issues simply launching it? With or without error? Possible fixes or responses from EA?

It's not the same if you can run the game for at least a couple of minutes.
Try reinstalling Origin or at least doing an App recovery.

I think I found the solution, I went to the game's folder, and turned on the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and I clicked on windows 8, I started the game and it worked...I will give you the steps, maybe it can help:
1. From BF1 settings ( in steam ) click "Browse local files", if you can't find it copy this to your file explorer {C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Battlefield 1} (Change the drive letter based on where did you installed BF1).
2. Find bf1.exe and right click on it
3. Then go to "Properties" Then "Compatibility" and press "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" button, and select "Windows 8"
4. Apply and run the game.
I hope it work for you guys, wish you a great game time...
