Connection error has occurred

Hi all,

 

I have paused the game for over a year, and ever since I wanted to come back to the game I get this error message from the title.

 

I have changed to mobile network, I have reset the router, I have restarted PC multiple times (this is day 2 that I battle with this problem), I have enabled it through firewall and defender, my ISP cleaned cache. Is there any C++ - like program that I need to install?

 

I am close to never coming back to the game because of this problem.

    Just wanted to update you all on what fixed it for me. I installed the game via Steam and it works now.

    if this occurs at the server select screen it can be a server ban due to a steam chargeback if you have used steam to pay for an subscription

    You will need to call swtor support to ascertain if a ban exists or not

    I have never used steam for this game. I downloaded it straight from Origin, and I still get CC due to security key ( I checked history on my account on their site ). I will try calling tomorrow.

    My account is not banned. They suggested fixes I have already tried. As a last fix there is a fresh instalment of whole OS which is not an option. I guess I lost this battle.
