  • i was finally able to contact support and my issue is resolved.

    For anyone having the issue where it wont let you select what platform you are on, it may be because the game you are trying to get support on is not in your library and you need to select a game that is if you ahve one.

    In my example, i had purchased ME legendary edition from Steam but couldn't link it to my EA play as someone had hacked my EA play and linked it to their own steam account. as the game was in my EA play library yet i ended up going through my old copy of ME andromeda to get help.

    Hope this helps some folks in the future
