How do I fix this launcher bug?

Heya, everyone.

Ever since August 19 I keep getting booted from the launch menu for no apparent reason. It displays an error that reads "Please close interception before launching the game". I first got this after trying to join a match. While the match was loading, I was shown a Network error that kicked me from the game and sent me to the main menu. It was the first time I ever got that, but I didn't think much of it. So I closed the game and tried to relaunch it to see if that would fix it.

When I tried to relaunch the game, the launcher started displaying the aforementioned error. I've tried everything I can think of it, and it's clearly not something on my end, since I've been playing the game with no issues thus far. I'm almost convinced it's related to Easy Anti Cheat, since I've read online that it tends to take issue with any external programs you might be running. Also, suffice to say, I've never cheated nor have I ran any form of program to give me an advantage while playing.

I verified the integrity of the game files, uninstalled and reinstalled, deleted the Anti Cheat folder, tried to repair it as an admin, cleared Steam cache and it's still not working. I've run out of ideas and I'm kinda upset that I'm stuck not being able to play the game nor claim rewards because of somebody else's mistake. 

I would have liked to submit this as a ticket, but since you require the Cloud ID and there's no way for me to launch my game, I'm forced to make a forum post here. I just want to play the game like again normally, like I was able to until today.

If anybody's got any solution, I'd greatly appreciate it. I've read online that several people seem to be in the same position since that fateful day, so I can't be the only one.
