@ApfelSkai actually this could be one of the main issues for some, I do remember for me at least that when I tried the first time to link my account when I logged out and then the next day it wasn't linked so I re-do it maybe that could be the problem, nevertheless we gotta keep pushing this up since this is an account issue whatever happened with the steam authentication went a little further into our accounts and since we're not getting a refund (EA support left that very clear) we can still find new stuff that may have caused this issue and help them fix this for us faster!
Thanks for coming up with that I totally forgot I actually re-linked my account couple times because it didn't stick the next day!

I can confirm that the steps provided by @xIdyeIx worked for me. I am now back in the game on my original account!!

OK, this has worked for me in helping several people.
Open Origin and log out of your main account.
Log back in with 2nd account.
Start the game and go to "Link account with Steam"
make sure that page is up,
sign out of origin,
sign back in with your original account,
click "Link with Steam" and link it to a 2nd throwaway/non-main account and game should load.
The purpose is to get the "Link with steam account" page to generate a link to pop up to get you to the steam portal.
This has worked for some. Not all.

I have the same infinite loading issue, however it already happened the first time i launched the Game at all, so i didnt even have the chance to link my steam account... Creating a new origin account also didnt work... I've attempted every ""solution"" i could find, nothing worked. EA Support goes into Bot-Mode as soon as you mention youre stuck in loading screen even if your problem differs from what most others experience.

Thanks @DeadOnTheInsidex - I just tried that, and sadly, it did not work for me.

You created a whole different/new Origin account and it still will not allow you to enter the game?
