Steam account linking restriction help

URGENT: Steam Account Linking Restriction Until September 2027 After Troubleshooting FC 27 Connection Error

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for help with an issue involving EA SPORTS FC 27 on Steam.

I’ve been unable to connect to EA servers. The game launches normally, but immediately displays an error saying it cannot access EA servers before reaching the main menu.

I’ve tried numerous troubleshooting methods, including:

• Reinstalling FC 27.
• Testing a different internet connection.
• Creating a new Windows user.
• Testing a different EA account.
• Checking EA background services.
• Verifying Steam game files.

During troubleshooting, I decided to unlink my Steam account from my original EA account to see if that would resolve the issue.

However, when I attempted to reconnect it, I received this message:

“Your Steam account BigBux242 can’t be linked to an account until 2027/09/30 due to linking limits. To play online, sign in with a different Steam account and link it to your EA account.”

I had no idea unlinking my account would result in a restriction lasting until September 2027.

I now have two problems:

1. My original FC 27 connection issue remains unresolved.
2. I cannot reconnect my Steam account to my original EA account.

I would really appreciate assistance from an EA Community Manager or someone who knows whether this restriction can be reviewed or reversed.

I would also like to know whether my original Steam–EA connection can be restored.
