    So I fixed it. Apparently, Squadrons does not recognize non-English path so I just moved it under an English path. EA support didn't help. It seemed that they just followed whatever manual they were given and this wasn't something they checked. Since this game is not exclusively sold in English-speaking regions, I don't understand why this is an actual issue.

@jkspaceferretIt's not the in-game language settings. It's folder under which the game is installed. When you open the game folder in resource manager, you should see its path (the sequence of folders). Make sure that all folders are named in English or the game would not run. I think when you install any game from origin, it wouldn't start if the path isn't all in English. This is probably just common practice at EA. Meanwhile, most non-EA games sold globally like this recognize non-English path and let's just leave it like that.
