I don't use any antivirus - only windows defender. It's worth mentioning, that in the past I've had dns related problems in other games, that require launchers. In some cases I asked for help technical support of those games, and technicians would spent whole days with me (on discord, skype or whatever) trying to resolve the dns errors, and in every case, they just ended giving up saying that they have no idea what's wrong with my pc and that it's the weirdest case they had ever encountered. So it's not only swtor. What can be wrong? Are there any, idk, connection/dns tests I could run?

try https://www.windowscentral.com/how-change-your-pcs-dns-settings-windows-10
maybe start with google 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
just to add the only thing that can override a dns server is a localhost entry https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-reset-the-hosts-file-back-to-the-default-c2a43f9d-e176-c6f3-e4ef-3500277a6dae

also if you havent reset the winsock on that system https://help.iinet.net.au/resetting-network-adapter-winsock-reset
I've already tried changing dns (tried multiple ones, not only google) and overriding the host file.
I haven't done the winsock reset, so I did it just now (with a pc restart just to be sure) and still no luck.

try type the below similar to the winsock
netsh int ip resetedit - you can check the integrity of that windows install too by
sfc /scannow
The reset was going well untill at the end this appeared:
Resetting , OK!
Resetting , OK!
Resetting , OK!
Resetting , OK!
Resetting , failed.
Accesss Denied.I opened it as an Admin so I don't know whats wrong.
Im running the system scan right now, it might take some time tho.
Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

i am disappearing for the night , post a dxdiag per https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-Technical/Guide-Posting-a-DxDiag/m-p/4832663
will take a look at that tomorrow
The link you sent me did indeed deal with the ''Access denied'' error, ip reset worked, but it didn't resolve my issue.
I noticed that DxDiag has some lines that are in my native language (polish) so if the need arises, I can translate whatever you don't understand.
Thank you for your time, I appreciate it.
Hope to hear from you tomorrow
