Game will not launch because of Easy Anti Cheat error code 10022 (0xC0030004)

I have 26 hours into Star Wars Squadrons (largely including playtime from the alpha test). I played a few hours at launch and recently returned to the game to play the single player.

 

So on about Wednesday night this past week I played through about 10 missions of the single player story. I planned to finish the story the following night, but I ran into the Easy Anti Cheat launch error 10022 that Thursday night and was not able to launch it.

 

For further hardware context, I changed my motherboard and CPU between launch (Ryzen 2600, msi b450m gaming plus) to new ones this past week (Ryzen 5600x, msi b550m bazooka) and then got a new set of RAM today, going from 3200 mhz ram to 3600 mhz ram (because I thought I was having other hardware issues but apparently I just had to re-apply my thermal paste).

 

Today I have been trying my hardest to fix this EAC issue, and have tried practically every fix I can find:

 

 - Repaired and reinstalled EAC from the EasyAntiCheat folder in Star Wars Squadrons and the EAC folder in Program Files x86

 - Ensured Windows was updated to latest version

 - Ensured Nvidia drivers are updated to latest version

 - Clean installed Nvidia drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller

 - Tried starting EasyAntiCheat through services.msc

 - Repaired corrupted system files using sfc /scannow

 - Added EasyAntiCheat and Star Wars Squadrons folders/exes to virus and firewall Windows Defender exclusions

 - Scanned my computer using both Malwarebytes (free version, have it turned off when launching game) and Windows Defender

 - Exited all obvious background programs

 - No RGB software opened

 - Rebooted a million times

 - Repaired files in Origin multiple times

 - Reinstalled Star Wars Squadrons

 

Hardware:

 - MSI B550M Bazooka

 - AMD Ryzen 5 5600x

 - G. Skill CL16 3600Mz RAM

 - EVGA RTX 2070 Super XC Ultra

 - Sandisk 128 GB SATA SSD (Boot drive + Origin launcher installed)

 - Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 TB + ADATA XPG 240 GB M.2 NVMe SSD tier drive connected via AMD StoreMI (Star Wars Squadrons installed here)

 - Corsair Vengeance 750W PSU

 - 2 Monitors (144 Hz + 60 Hz)

 

I've read up on the internet of supposedly other people having this error in other games and have not gotten a fix in months. I really would like to find a fix to at least finish the story. It is mind boggling that I can't play the single player portion because of multiplayer anti-cheat software issues.
