Child EA account can't access FC26 online — stuck in AI support loop
My son's EA child account (linked via Nintendo Account, Switch ID: yessir674) can't access FC26 online features on Nintendo Switch 2. Error: "You have lost your online connection... reconnect to EA Servers." Confirmed not a network issue — works fine on his sibling's account, same network, same router, same day.
I recently withdrew and re-granted Nintendo Account consent for the EA link, which may have left the account's online-service authorization in a broken state — it signs in but can't reach online features.
I've tried: EA Help self-serve articles (no fix), the EA NextStep chatbot multiple times (loops back to troubleshooting, never escalates to a human), and the phone number previously shared on these forums (now invalid). I cannot find any working path to a human advisor.
Could a moderator or advisor please help directly, or point me to a working escalation path?
