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 🍻

    I can’t play EA games because In 2023 they archived my account for “inactivity” with playtime in 2022. The only option is to delete my purchase history and save games… I wish people would stop giving them money.

      This is why I support gog. The future is here, you own nothing and have no rights to what you’ve purchased. Pretty much anything can be turned to a brick when the corp decides it’s time or they want you to buy something new.

      That’s weird. I just logged into my ea account from 2012 after not touching it for 5 years and it appears everything is there. Adding a recovery mail just to be sure now. LOL, it’s so old it doesn’t even have a name and shows as a 25 digit ID on the website.

      EDIT: dude below is right: GOG all the way.
