Can't play an EA game via geforce now due to quitting a couple of times in one day
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 🍻
Meanwhile somewhere out there a pirate is enjoying it right now
Can you run pirated games on GFN?
No, for that you need Shadow or some other cloud service that basically is a full PC available for you.
Of course you should transfer it from your machine or similar don't go and start downloading a torrent from the machine.
Is there any more information on these dastardly fiends?
I don't think so but it's very likely whatever title they're trying to play has been cracked
Worse, a console gamer. It's £5.99 right now on PSN. Barely worth pirating for that.
