Squadrons won't even launch

I bought the game on steam and and got a new pc and now the game won't launch after the easy anti-cheat load screen. Every driver and the system is up to date and the game just won't work. I'm just furious rn because part of the reason why I built this new pc is to play squadrons on high graphics in vr and now I can't play the damn game.

My pc specs:

i7-10700

16G RAM

RTX 3070

This guy on youtube has the exact same issue and people are saying they have the same issue in the comments. I don't get why this issue hasn't been fixed yet.

Here's the link for said video.

If there isn't a fix soon, I'm refunding.

    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.

    SOLVED (for me at least)

    Go to the game folder (for me it was C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\STAR WARS Squadrons)

    Find the EasyAntiCheat folder and run the EasyAntiCheat_Setup.exe

    Then choose to repair installation and it will launch.

    You may need to repeat this if it fails the first time

    I added EasyAntiCheat_Setup.exe to my firewall all access list and Squadrons started working ( using windows fw and nat enviroment )

    It did not asked automatically networks access when installing or fixing installation.

    I'm closing this thread to stop it from being necroed.

    If you have any issues with Squadrons, please make a new topic about your problems and what kind of steps you have tried to solve them.
