Yes, same issue here in North America. Tried many of the same fixes but SWBF 2015 only. Keeps just trying to connect to server for multiplayer and gear but never successfully. Many other games connect fine. My friends and family have the same issue. Seems similar to what happened in 2022 and again in 2024. Took EA a while to figure those out as well.
