  @LordVader626 Are your Battlefield 4 and Battlefield 1 installs through Steam as well or is that through Origin?

Yeah, that’s likely the main issue if the older Battlefield titles and BFV aren’t tied to the same EA account, the in-game hub won’t be able to connect them properly; once everything is under one account it usually sorts itself out. I’ve seen similar account-linking fixes discussed in communities, and even resources like CRK Codes can be handy for finding quick tips and shared solutions.
