Error 216

I downloaded the game today after a year-ish break and I'm getting a 216 error.

Here's what I did:

  1. Restarting PC and my router,
  2. Changing to Ethernet/Adapter (I normally use a wifi adapter because I live on a rent flat and I can't move ethernet here, for testing purposes I used a cable - didn't work),
  3. ipconfig /flushdns /iprenew,
  4. Reinstalling both EA launcher and the game,
  5. Changing the ping site from Germany to Virginia and vice versa,
  6. Bashing my head 30 minutes trying to connect to the game,
  7. Playing arcade for 5 minutes and then finding a multiplayer game,
  8. Deleting my settings in "Documents",
  9. Resetting windows network settings,
  10. Using a VPN.

I use PC, win10, my specs are more than enough for this game (3050, i7 12700k, 32ram, 1tb ssd)

Any ideas on how can I fix it?

    Little update that I forgot to include in the OP: I tried EVERYTHING that is suggested on EA support sites/forums, browsed through youtube and reddit. Ports are open
