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 don’t necessarily agree with the guy you’re arguing with, but are you really claiming you not only have to play games, you have to play a particular game? That is the most neckbeardy thing I’ve ever heard. Forget touching grass, touch better priorities.

      Sometimes yes. Elden ring is excellent and I’ve played every one of those games. Who makes another elden ring that is actually good? It’s nonsense to claim that some of the games are no good and not worth playing. It’s easy for management to ruin a good game.
