As ifStar Wars Jedi: Survivor’s performance issues weren’t enough, multiple tech reviewers are currently being blocked from playing the game due to EA’s Denuvo DRM protection, which is assuming they are sharing the game between multiple users when in fact they are testing it on multiple PCs they own.

Daniel Owen, a well-known tech content creator,recently posted on his YouTube communityto discuss the issue of the EA Origin client detecting “Too many computers” accessing the game and suggesting that he tries again later. The reason for this error in his case is that he switched graphics cards between GTX 1060 and 4090 on a 7800X3D test system, and then tried to open the game on another computer with Ryzen 5950X and RTX 4080, ultimately resulting in the game being unplayable on any of his PCs for 24 hours.

Digital Foundry’s Alexander Battaglia is apparently suffering from the same issue, as heposted about it at a similar timeyesterday. That said, the dilemma is not new or specifically related to Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. It has always been present in any game accessible through the EA Origins app, and many fans have experienced login hardships due to hardware changes or multiple PC installations beyond the known five-PC limit, with no solution other than to …wait.

At first glance, waiting for a day might not seem like abigproblem, especially for regular players who don’t have a lot of PCs or graphics cards, but what’s causing the outrage (at least onRedditandTwitter) is the connection between the restriction and Denuvo’s DRM protection. The 5-device/24-hour thing is actually because of Denuvo, which is already implemented in Star Wars Jedi: Survivorjust like its predecessor Fallen Order.

It’s not confirmed whether Denuvo is the main cause of the ongoing Star Wars performance drama or not, but many players already believe that it might indeed bethe main culprit behind the whole thing. Furthermore, Star Warsreportedly only allows 2 devicesto install the game at a time, making the problem more apparent than ever. EA has yet to comment on this specific issue, but promised that it’s currently working hard to address the issues reported by players regarding the PC version of the game.
