Linking new Steam account

Is there another way that i can link another steam account to my previously Steam-linked EA account? i just unlinked my old steam account because i had no access to its recovery mail and i forgot my steam password. I just create a new steam account and am now trying to link my new Steam account to my EA account but it seems like it failed to link them together
Is there another way of doing this? i just really wanted to play the game but i couldn't open the game through my new Steam account, and i have been playing this game with Steam since the beginning so..

    Hey @friendlystick,

    Unfortunately an EA account is only able to be linked with one of another type of account in its lifetime, so if you've linked a Steam account previously, you won't be able to link a new one. We have an article with a bit more information here:

    https://help.ea.com/en/help/account/unlink-gaming-accounts-from-ea-account/

    You may still be able to access your save data if you launch the game through the EA app however, as progress carries over between the two platforms.
  • @EA_QueenBee thank you for your fast reply.
    i'm having fps optimized config files for apex in steam and i litterally can't play the game with 60fps without those cfg files. is it possible to modify the config with EA version? i tried to play the game without fps cfg files and i barely couldn't play the game so..

    @friendlystick,

    You should still be able to play with your optimized config files via the app, that shouldn't be an issue. 🙂
  • 我也遇到了类似的问题。我的一个 Steam 帐户没有发布。我想用另一个 Steam 帐户登录,但这是不可能的,非常苦恼,我也看到很多 APEX 玩家,我想我想要同样的问题。
    那么,经理,你能试着满足我们的需求吗?我们真的需要玩APEX。如果你使用EA平台,我会再次下载APEX,这太麻烦了。你能不能让问题更简单,让EA的账户重新关联不同的STEAM。我希望 EA 平台可以做到这一点。

    Why would they not allow to link a new account any other platform can link new emails phone numbers and so on but EA has to be extremly difficult for no reason as always.

    Hi, I have the same problem and I would really like to have both linked together, I love to keep my achivements in EA and also Steam at the same time. These options from EA make it unable to be possible, is there really not another way for us to link a second account ?

    Sorry for another request but I think it would be great to be able to do this, I woulnd't even mind starting over if it means resetting the game. Thank you!

  • So because i linked the wrong steam account (as i have 2 under different emails and forgot which one was which), i cant unlink and relink the right one? its just impossible? why is that, it wouldnt be a problem but the EA app rarely works as indented.
