Here's what I did :

    Hey @Terryopoulos001,

    Are you using VPN? Have you tried using a different browser, without any extensions? Does your email(s) or Steam or EA username have a lot (a lot!) of characters in it, with many _' or .'s?

    1. Best solution is to stop buying EA sports games
    2. Tell EA to revert back to origins

    Hello,

    I have the exact same problem. I cannot link EA and Steam accounts neither from steam nor web in private. I always get the "Something went wrong..." message.

    I tried to reboot everything and reinstalled EA App but nothing works, not even emptying the cache.

    My Steam account is not underage, I changed my account name to a two latin letter name. I do not use a VPN.

    Please help, I've tried everything on this thread and a few others I found online and nothing seems to allow me to link my account and access my games.

  • Thank god, the EA support was giving me straight up lies about my account being already linked to an "unkown" EA account. Checked with Steam support, had no connections to EA. The problem was too long name for me as well.

  • Dude THANK YOU. Ive been trying for 2 hours with live support and those people straight up lied and said my steam account was linked with an "unknown" ea account jesus this company. EA is a serious garbage company.

  • Your comment is so helpfully. Thank you so much.

    I tried so many times without success and now it's working.

  • thank you so much you saved my life I hope you succeed in life you genius.

  • YOOO THIS WORKED i had a long * steam name with my twitch id and everything, changed name to something simple, linked and worked!

  • Well. This did it for me!
    Thank you very much 🙂
    What a prime example of quality coding when some special characters can totally mess up programs functionality.
