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 🍻
Genuinely curious since my games stack there automatically. Is it a good launcher? I’ve never looked into it more than updating my graphics cards.
You may be thinking of the GeForce Experience app.
Ah, I can see how this could happen. Each time you log on you get a different VM and EA didn’t think about that before tossing the game up on geforce now (assuming that’s how it works; never used the service. If you installed the game yourself then I guess it sucks that’s how their DRM works).
Well I don’t think this is true, I used proton and still got this error
Did you happen to run it with different versions of proton? Each version would possibly be identified as a different “system”.
I think not
Piracy is completely justified.
How would that help in this case?
Not having to deal with EA’s bullshit
OP said they don’t have a gaming PC, meaning something capable of playing games at full spec
Pffft, just download some more RAM. You’d download a car, wouldn’t you? 😂
Piracy is never justified. The solution is to not buy or use games from EA if anything.
In our society piracy is always justified
Fuck every last one of these corporations
How so? You are supporting them using their software.
Not paying them means you are not supporting them
If you even use the software you are supporting them. The only way not to is a complete boycott
*their
But it doesn’t support them when they don’t see income from it. You don’t even register as a number on their side, likely
You are still supporting them by using a product from them. It doesn’t matter if you are paying or not.
Cloud gaming is trash
