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 🍻

      Not OP, but I typically only pirate games if they’re unavailable for purchase in a more legal way. Like PS2 games, for example.

      Most of the modern games I buy these days are from developers I genuinely want to support and see more from, like Atlus or Vanillaware.

      And, no, I use uBlock Origin.

      Well no, I just stay away from proprietary software. For the internet I use ublock origin.
