Can Steam players and Origin players play together?
Question in title. Please assist. Thanks.

I believe yes because Steam version requires linking an EA account to access multiplayer.

That was removed, actually. But yea, they should be able to play together.
Unfortunately I cannot confirm this. A friend on Origin tried to join my game (I'm on Steam) and vice versa. We could not find each others games in the lobby. How is this supposed to work?
If it is possible for Steam Players and Origin Players to join, I would like to know if there is any way to identify who's using what.
I can't use the Steam Client, and any IP Addresses associated with Steam tend to crash my games (assuming they even get that far). I would need to be able to filter out Origin Client Lobbies and prevent Steam Users from joining my games, as to not crash my Router.
It's been a thing in my case for years, and nothing will fix it (requires calling the ISP and going through a lot of menus and so on over a phone for hours). Steam got Black-Listed on my Router years ago, due to some Hacking incident involving the Steam Client and another User I think. Ever since, people using Steam on their systems have found themselves knocking my Router offline every time they join me Online (hard enough getting a stable game of Battlefield 4 with other users have both Steam and Origin active at the same time).
