Game stuck on infinite loading screen

(Steam) My game is stuck on an infinite loading circle every time i launch. This has been happening for a few days. I've tried: restarting game, restarting steam, reinstalling, verifying file integrity, clearing steam cache, changing DNS settings, running the game as admin, unlinking and relinking my EA account, all had no effect.

I have a feeling it's happening because of something weird with the Steam/EA account link, because a couple days into this i did actually manage to get into the game and the only thing different I noticed is there was an EA account popup telling me to login with an email code, and then I got to the lobby. Haven't seen that popup or gotten past the infinite loading screen since, and I don't know how to trigger it again. Please help so that I can spend thousands of dollars on wonderful EA products
