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…

    I see EA is out of ideas for naming their games, and has started naming their game "DisplayName field¨.

    This seems like an obvious bug with the licensing check in the game, or maybe an oversight by nvidia. (bug because one would think it would be adjusted for geforcenow) Why dont you contact nvidia customer service? Ive never used geforce now, but their shield departement is really good.

    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).

    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.

    Do you have any PC at all? Mass Effect should even run on weaker PCs.

    But yeah, these kinds of problems are why I won’t bother with cloud gaming. Have you contacted support?
