Just jumping in concur with Turbo.
I'm experiencing exactly the same thing under the same conditions. With the CH executable, I get the server error. When I use Steam integrity verification, it is finding one bad file and redownloading it.
The only way to get online in the game (and therefore save progress) seems to be to use the game's genuine executable (which causes EAC is run) after the file has been repaired using Steam integrity verification without ever using the CH executable.
From my experimenting, it appears that using the CH executable at any point right now causes a game file to corrupt and creates the server connection error from that moment forward, even when trying to start the game normally.

a simple google search brought me to this:
steamcommunity.com/app/2183900/discussions/0/4852155593257774089/
so it has nothing to do with the trainer.

Tons of respect Devil, but I have been able to replicate with 100% consistency my ability to connect to the servers.
Every single time I attempt to connect to the servers after repairing the file which steam integrity verification identifies as bad, I am able to connect quickly and easily. Even on relaunches of the game.
Every time I try it after running the CH executable, I get the error. Regardless of which executable I use.

Unfortunately, I am also having exact same issue with above post.
i cannot fix this if the developer have made it this way and it's not my fault that some people kept cheating online which pushed the developer to implement this new anti cheat.
so don't expect any fixes, trainer is going to be the way it is already, blame our competitors which enabled the trainer in multiplayer mode and the people who followed them and abused it.
Wow this is pretty hard to hear.
The reason I paid for Tier 7 was because of Space Marine II as I knew it would need constant updates with every patch.
