Hi,I have linked my EA account with Steam and it is showing as linked on the EA website.However, I was trying to import friends from Steam and it was asking me to connect the account again.I have done so and logged into steam from EA desktop. Once it has logged in though, I see the following error from steam:{"error":"external party error","error_description":"state is invalid","code":106123}Has anyone come across this before? I'm not sure how to correct this one.I have tried unlinking Steam from my EA account to no avail. I have reconnected them in the meantime as I do want them paired.Thanks.

Hey all, If you use the Continue with Steam option when launching EA Desktop you should be able to import your friends as a workaround currently. This issue is still under investigation and a more permanent fix will be implemented when available.

I am also having this issue. Has anyone found a fix for the find friends function on this app? I'd really like to be able to play FIFA with friends.

Hi everyone,

We tried importing friends through Steam and ran into the exact same issue. It doesn't look like there is an issue on your side so we will be investigating what's causing this.

Thank you for letting us know!

That's a negatory on the workaround...

Hi @TIHIEINIFIB, @HoodedWarrrior

Is this still happening now? The fix for this issue should be live as of last night.

The approach above seems to have worked for me. I signed out of EA Desktop and then signed back in using my Steam account. The Steam service is now showing as being linked.
