issues with linking switch account to EA

10go7mc5w9vg  When you had started playing on the Switch, the game should of made you create an EA Account to link your Nintendo Account.

You would use the EA Account it had you create to then link all your platform accounts in that EA Account's settings, (which is found under the "connections" tab).

I think I started playing before that was needed. for information, I started playing right before fuse was introduced

10go7mc5w9vg  If I recall correctly, both Fuse and the Switch was added in Season 8, (where the Switch had required all players on the Switch to link an EA Account).

This would mean that the account you are going to want to sign into to link your other accounts, would be that same EA Account, (which if you are using that EA Account right now to access the forums, the account you would be signing into, would be your 10go7mc5w9vg account, which you would sign into via your EA Account's settings page).

Note: All Apex Legends game progression is stored on the EA Account, (which is why it was required to link an EA Account in order to play on the Switch).

to be more clear, when I opened it yesterday, it gave me a prompt to log into an ea account, but then after pressing A twice (to check the terms and conditions and then to proceed), it just went back to the main page and let me log into the game without doing anything else.

10go7mc5w9vg  Since you had linked an EA Account to play on the Switch previously, when you had redownloaded the game, it most likely had loaded your Apex Account via the linked EA Account that was associated with the Switch Account.

If you don't remember what EA Account was used to link to the Switch, you should be able to contact EA Support about being unable to sign into your EA Account directly.
