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 🍻

    This is such a tragedy. DisplayName field missing from registry was one of my favorite games growing up.

          Nah, it’ll just be called Display name missing from register again and the fans will have to attach a year to it to distinguish it from the original.

            You see… The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different levels in ‘DisplayName Field Missing from Registry.’

      I torrented it at first but enjoyed it so much that I ended up buying DisplayName field missing from registry once I had a stable job and some extra disposable income
