[PC] Unable to Access Mass Effect: Andromeda Online Services

Hello,

I'm reaching out for help regarding access to the online services of Mass Effect: Andromeda.

I used to play the game through the EA Play subscription, which has since expired. Some time ago, I purchased the game on Steam instead, and my Steam account is correctly linked to my EA account (confirmed in my EA settings).

Instead of receiving an error code, I simply get the following message in-game:
"You are not authorized to access the online features of this title." As you can see (in French) in the attached screenshots.
I am then redirected to a general troubleshooting page, which doesn't apply to me because:
- I'm not using a proxy or VPN.
- My game is fully updated.
- There are no error codes (such as 5800 or 10044).
- And my network connection is stable.

However, I still don't have access to the online features (such as multiplayer).
From what I’ve read, it seems that in some cases, a manual intervention from EA support may be required to restore online access when transitioning from EA Play to a full purchase on Steam.

Could someone please assist me with this issue?

Thank you in advance for your time and support.

  • Sonoda_91 Hey, have you set up a case with Live Support yet? They have a specific process for ME3 and MEA for this exact issue. It isn't something that basic troubleshooting will resolve. Someone has to go into the EA account and look at it.

    Hello, after reading your message I tried contacting support and this time it worked (It didn’t yesterday, which is why I created this topic 😅)

    My ticket has been created and I'm now in queue !
    Sorry for the trouble, thanks for confirming it wasn’t on my end and I’ll update the topic once the issue is resolved.

    EDIT : Issue resolved after contacting support, I can now access the online services again. Thanks ! ✅
