Can't login to EA account, No dialog box.

[[SUGU]ArcticCowboy]

I've seen a bunch of people with similar issues with the EA login box, But none others where the box just isn't there. I'm running an 3440x1440 moniter and i have tried windowed mode, forcing the windows DPI, but i always have the reconnect button in the top right of my screen, if i press it it says connecting then the box closes and the close button appears in the top right. Can anyone help?

Same here. Won't connect to EA. Followed the EA steam support thread, installed origin as suggested, no change, doesn't connect to EA. Annoying not to have the online features.

the same problem, do you have any solution?

[derekcfoley]

same problem here. Online multiplayer is impossible. Seems to be an odd problem with the game trying to log into origin, even though its launched via steam. It never gives the option to log in. Even when you log in separately via the origin app or in a browser etc. EA don't seem to understand the issue either, I've spoken to 2 different support people, who insist that my steam account is not "linked" to my EA account, and the game never lets me do that!

I got through this issue by blindly typing my email address and password. So when you launch the game, it says connecting then the screen goes black and you see close on the top right corner, I initially starting typing my ea account email address, then press tab and typed my password and then hit enter. That for me didn't work. so I hit close, opened the game in offline mode, then from the main menu, hit reconnect and did the same steps. After a few tries, I managed to login. Hope this helps.

1)go to https://help.ea.com/,
2) if you are already logged in press log out,
3) then press log in
4) select continue with steam
5) and then follow the instructions on the screen to re-link link steam (xbox, etc.) account and origin account

This works, just remember to enter EA account email you already made origin account with so you dont need to create new account.

Thank you very much! This worked like a charm! You saved me from wasting tons of time!

Blind typing of login/pass worked lol

This garbage was the reason why I uninstalled on the Free Weekend right away. Imagine actually paying for something this broken. Pfffthh.

thaks roller,it did the trick

[derekcfoley]

Roller. This isn't working for me unfortunately. I'm still seeing the "Please Reset your password" box (origin I think) every time I start Squadrons. When I click close and reconnect, I get the usual Error 4,975

MrMasterv13 - What was showing in the game when you did this? All I keep getting is a "Your login credentials have expired, reset password box from "origin" inside the game itself
