Steam account & bethesda.net account linking problem
I followed the instructions on the website regarding how to link your steam account with your bethesda.net account. Yet it refuses to log me in, even worse it tells me that either my password or name is wrong. I can just fine login on the website and the bethesda launcher without any problems. So this must be a Fallout 4 issue. How can I solve this problem or is that login system borked?:steamsad:

I can not upload my mods like this, yes i know the nexus (6 years). But i want to upload it first for Console before some one decides to steal my work. Console mods, worse choice ever!:steamfacepalm:

It was when it necroed. But Steam has always had back end issues with linked accounts, along with people forgetting the most basic issue being multiple accounts (some already linked)

Valves back end third party support has always sucked, but people don't think about that. It's why a couple companies simply have products where it activates the launcher... because the account linking breaks too often for them.

I also can't link my Bethtesda account to Steam. Has anyone found a solution yet? I think this is a problem with Fallout 4 and Creation Kit......

Go to Bethesda.net. Log in. Click on your account and select "Linked Accounts" and see if its there. If it's not, go to the bottom of the web page and find "Support."

Follow the links and open a ticket.

They claim on Reddit that if you're trying to get your free copy of Fallout 76 that as long as you have a ticket in before the 12th, they will still honor it.

Did you have a throwaway or one use account? If it was logged in when you linked, it'll be on that. Your steam account should show links too.

You may need to copy your profile link (the full url to your profile page which has the ID in it to give support to see if it's linked to another account)

I gave them the URL to my profile and asked if they could check which account I have assigned to steam. They still don't want to answer. And tomorrow the time for a free copy of the game on Steam is running out....

FO76 now has it's dedicated thread here in Steam. You might find help from people fighting with the same issue from there.
