"Connection Failed" With Error Code 1:86001S:51002S:57019S

Thank you EA. I bought the game at launch, but without using a VPN which gives me over 400 ping the game is impossible to play. Even casual modes have become unplayable because of constant lag, and Portal modes in the evenings are also no longer playable. This is the first time I’ve encountered a game with issues like this. What surprises me is that I can play other games with ping under 40 without any lag or connection problems and without a VPN. I had heard jokes and negative comments about EA before, but I thought they were exaggerated. After buying this game, I realized that even small companies manage to fix problems better than a giant like EA. Unfortunately I can no longer refund the game because I believed the issues were temporary and would be fixed soon, but since release nothing has changed and there have been no updates or notes addressing these issues. After checking online I found out that many players have the same problem. It really feels like this is not a full release but a paid open beta with microtransactions and no ability to play normally.
