I'm sorry to hear about your issue with SWB2 ☹️

Hi, I didn't see your message earlier unfortunately but I have since upgraded to a GTX 1060 (and still getting the same issue). The only antivirus I use is Windows Defender, and I have already made sure that Battlefront 2 is allowed on my home network. I have also tried running the game as admin, running origin and the game as admin, clearing my game cache, reinstalling the game, repairing the game and I still cant get the game to work. I will try to completely disable Defender in the mean time and report back with any news.
Thanks
