Can't play an EA game via geforce now due to quitting a couple of times in one day - eviltoast

I’ve been getting into mass effect trilogy finally, and since I don’t own a gaming pc, I like to play through GeForce Now.

Well, just now I had some things come up a couple of times a row and I quit my game a few times, and now I can’t continue because of some sort of lock mechanism against playing on multiple computers…?

Did not know this is a thing, but I have a few vacation days and wanted to get this series properly started, so it’s a little bit annoying. Who knows how long I have to wait?

Ugh…

Edit:

Talking with EA support, they informed me that the wait is 24 hours. Jesus christ that is long for something like this. There goes my vacation day opportunity…

Edit2:

Wow! The customer support really pulled through, suggested they request a password change on my account from their side.

Turns out, this seems to toggle that flag, and I could now start the game! Hooray! Akash, my man, you saved the day! Cheers 🍻

    Update: It seems requesting a password change from support side toggles the flag and lets you start the game again.

    Unsure if this works multiple times, but at least for me, it worked, and this was my first time this happened.

    Worth a shot people! If you ever find yourself on a similar situation

      Good to know you figured it out. It’s still surprising one affects the other, and that situation happening in the first place. Yet, I remeber EA was one of the studios not completely happy with cloud gaming in the past, so with lower priority they could not looked into a case like yours and adjusted their DRM beforehand.
