I have tested both ways and there is no change.
Yesterday I tested to install the game with the original DVDs. The installation went well and I was able to launch the launcher but the launcher is too old and it cannot find the server.
I have also read that newer Intel processors have problems running DRM protected games. Is this the case with SWTOR?

I have a 12700K and Bafrost a 12900K
support said the issue with the new Intel processors is only affecting games with Denuvo protection , swtor isnt one of them.
maybe attach a dxdiag per https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-Technical/Guide-Posting-a-DxDiag/m-p/4832663/highlight/true#M70799 see if crash reports shed anything further
Here is my Dxdiag
and the launcherdiag
