    Hey @OleTroutMouth have you previously owned BF3 on Origin?

    When linking the accounts through Steam, are you sure that you linked the correct EA account?

    It could be a case that you have multiple EA accounts and may have linked a secondary one.

    If you purchased the game on Steam and need a product code then you will need to reach out to Steam support for this: https://help.steampowered.com/en/

    Hi @EA_Darko, I haven't owned BF3 on Origin before. I haven't been able to get on my computer for a few days and just now Origin picked up BF3 & BF4 on my account. 

    I think it took a while for the games to process through Origin or that I just needed to restart my computer. I verified that my Steam and Origin accounts are linked together. 

    Thank you for finding the time to respond and help me out.

    Regards,

    Ole Trout Mouth
