Grid Legends Steam account link issue

Hi there,

I've recently bought Grid Legends through my steam account, but i've been unable to get the online features to work. For some reason the game doesn't count as linked ingame neither in the EA App on windows. I've tried to use the internal button for account linking in the game options, but it does not work (nothing shows up.) I've unlinked and linked steam back again and it also does not work. This seems like a recurring issue, please help.

Additionally, I have other games linked completely fine from my steam library, like NFSHP Remastered, NFSMW (2012) and Titanfall 2, all of which i've bought through steam and linking worked seamlessly.
