I have managed to get it to work, my steps were:

Uninstalled Steam version.
Removed all steam version inbound rules in windows defender
Reintalled Steam Version on my C: Partition so that game path is
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\Glacier Event\
Do not run the game after intall

Go to Windows Defender
manually add 4 Inbound rules
1 TPC for bfevent.exe Profile Public
1 UDP for bfevent.exe Profile Public
1 TCP for EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher.exe Profile All
1 UDP for EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher.exe Profile All

Make sure that path to execs are all lowercase
so in my case it was:
C:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\glacier event\bfevent.exe

That fixed it for me
