SOLUTION:
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyAntiCheat and delete the .sys file
the game should now work!
Sorry old post but I just solved it as I just got the game last night and fits time loaded it and figured I'd post for future Googler's. Believe it or not on my first troubleshoot attempt!
it's the Firewall guys/gals, some reason the EA Desktop isn't added to the exception list nor even in the drop down to quick add it. You have to locate and path it manually and add to fire wall exception, NOT the game. The EA Launcher, oh and the EasyCheat.exe needs to be added.
Then open an viola! Game loads... And guess what!? it auto prompts to allow the Squadrons.exe to be added to the firewall allow list, an im sitting in menu as I type this.
That's the fix!!!
Tried everything, but this worked.
I added Easyanticheat and origin to my Inbound and outbound exemptions, and it worked immediately!
Well done!!!
