I'm also running Windows 7 and encountered this error, but I was able to get the game working by installing ReShade.  

I found it through the following page:

https://steamah.com/star-wars-squadrons-how-to-play-on-windows-7/ 

Just be careful when attempting to download the ReShade installer.  I almost clicked on a "WebNavigator" download.  

Like the page mentions, I just used the default options when installing for Squadrons.  And when get game starts up, use the "Home" key to hide the ReShade bar.

Good luck.

      @Pole_named_Paul What worked for you ? The ReShade(#8) or #9 - which i can't see ?

        @Nosferat83 They're basically one and the same - the link used to lead to instructions how to set up ReShade, sadly I don't have ReShade anymore since I switched to Win10 and the link doesn't work. However, I can say at least that ReShade worked for me like a charm.

        ...Shame about the K+M controls though, those made me hate the game.

    I am getting a message telling me I need to log in or have permission to view the page. Since I am logged in, I know it is not that problem. Just to be clear, I too am running Win 7 on PC and can't get the game to run and now I can't even view the fix!
