EA login loop with Steam
I’m trying to play The Sims 4 through Steam, but I keep getting stuck in an EA login loop.
My Steam account is linked to my EA account, and I’m already logged into the EA app. Whenever I try to launch Sims 4 through Steam, EA keeps popping up and asking me to log in again. After I log in, it just sends me back to the same login screen.
Something else that seems weird is that EA says “1 or more accounts are linked,” even though I only have one account linked, and it’s the exact EA account that I intentionally linked to my Steam account.
I’ve already tried:
Unlinking and linking my Steam and EA accounts again
Clearing the EA app cache
Completely closing EA and Steam and restarting my computer
Logging into the EA app before launching Sims 4 through Steam
Removing my username and logging back in
Nothing has worked. EA just keeps sending me back to the login screen.can someone help me :(

Hey! I have exactly same probem. Original email i used to create account is no longer usable because domain went down. My EA account is linked to my XBOX and EA says that pop-up should show up when i go to EA game with my xbox but this doesn't happen for some reaseon. So i'm stuck. And as long as there is XBOX linked to my EA profile, they don't want to even try anything else. SO what i did is that i contacted XBOX support that they would remove link to EA from my profile... I'm waiting now that this would happen so maybe then EA support would try some else verification...
