i can run the game fine but when it loads it’s unable to connect to ea servers even when i have full bars. it’ll let me in sometimes for 10 seconds max in my own garden then kick me again i’ve tried restarting my computer restarting the game restarting my internet and cleared my steam cache i’m still looking for more methods.
A very minor assist for the leveling issue(?)
I wanted to post this as I noticed many have been struggling with the leveling not transferring on the multiplayer to the backyard. Me and my friends found a way to fix it, in a sense as its not really a true problem solve but more or less letting you get your levels in the backyard. Unfortunately our way of getting the levels into the backyard were when we joined off each other, letting those who joined the host get their levels then returning to their own backyard to promote. I wish I could provide better answers on helping those trying to get their levels in the backyard and promote but this is the only way I've seen it work for the current situation. Hopefully this can help some people.
Steps EA could take to revitalize Garden Warfare 2
Step 1-Microtransações Step 2-Crossplay + better anti-cheat Step 3- New maps or Regular seasonal events With this, EA could create Garden Warfare 3. There are many players across different platforms and a community that has been alive for years. EA could generate profit by taking the following steps that the community is asking for. This is not a dead game. 9K players on steam pc (ea app and origin app 6k) console players "servers full"URGENT: Help! My account level has been forcibly altered by cheat programs!
*snip* Dear EA Support Team, I am writing this letter to report an urgent and serious issue: My account for "Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2" was targeted by an external program user, resulting in my account level being forcibly raised to the maximum level and preventing me from upgrading my character skills. Time: At 2:00 PM on December 20, 2025, when I turned on the computer, I discovered Question: When I logged into the game the next day, I found that all the characters had been modified and upgraded to the maximum level from the server's background using a special method. The level labels for all the characters were also increased to 5455. All the characters were at the maximum level and were unable to gain experience for upgrading their levels. They all showed as negative numbers. Nature: This is a malicious act where, through special means, only the user's name or email address is required to modify the game data stored on the server terminal, thereby retaliating against normal players. Evidence: This is the screenshot of my gameplay on Friday and the situation after I opened the game on Saturday afternoon. Everything is garbled. This incident was not caused by any of my own illegal actions. Instead, as a player who is deeply passionate about this game, I was maliciously retaliated against by external programs. I earnestly request that the official conduct an investigation into this matter and restore the normality of my account data. I have great love and trust for EA and PopCap Games, and I sincerely hope that the official will not be discouraged by such vile behavior and treat all the innocent players who are affected by this harsh method with indifference. Today, if we remain silent, there will be many more normal players affected by this vicious method in the future. I firmly believe that EA will stand on the side of justice and protect the community. Thank you for your time and understanding. I look forward to your response. (CM: Edited to remove additional language. Please post in the language of the board.)Levels from multiplayer doesn't carry to backyard
When I gain levels on a certain character in multiplayer matches, the progress doesn't carry into the backyard. Like I pushed my party corn to level 9 and electric brainz to level 5 and got upgrades, but when I returned to the Backyard Electric Brainz AND Party corn was back at level 7 and 2 and the character upgrades were gone. Is there any way for this bug to get patched?
Dear Development Team of Plants vs. Zombies International Version:
The following is an AI translation due to my limited English proficiency; some inaccuracies may exist.As a loyal Chinese player, I have had a lot of fun while playing the game. At the same time, I have also found some areas that can be optimized, and I hope to contribute my ideas to the further improvement of the game. 【We really, really need these optimizations! It should be appropriately centered on users. Thank you very much for taking the time to read my feedback. I look forward to continuous improvements in the future to bring a more excellent experience to users. Thank you!】 Bugs that need priority handling In Plants vs. Zombies 1 HD for iPadOS, I encountered such an issue: when entering the game with an internet connection, it crashes and fails to launch. I have to disconnect from the network first to enter the game, then reconnect to the internet to play. In the iPadOS version of Plants vs. Zombies 1 HD, I encountered another problem: under a stable network connection, the data of the unlocked "Diamond Beghouler" achievement and "Smashin" achievement are saved locally, but they can never be automatically synced to the Apple server. As a result, these two achievements are shown as unlocked in the local game but remain in the "unlocked" state in the achievement list of this game in Apple Game Center. I have tried two solutions: first, recreating the game account; second, uninstalling the game, reinstalling it, and playing from the beginning. However, even if I unlock these two achievements again in a stable network environment, the relevant data still cannot be synced to the Apple server. I have contacted Apple customer service before, and they said they couldn't solve the problem and suggested that I contact the game developer. It's worth noting that all achievements in the iPhone version of PvZ 1 can be synced to the Apple server normally, and in the iPad version of PvZ 1 HD, all other achievements except the two mentioned above can also be synced normally. Therefore, I judge that this problem may be caused by the software itself, not by Apple. 【If you don't quite understand the content of the description, you can refer to the attached photo!】 In the Android and iOS versions of Plants vs. Zombies 1, issues such as lag, frame drops may occur after connecting to the Internet, and problems like missing music and sound effects may appear after watching ads. In the iOS version of Plants vs. Zombies 1, there is an error in the display of an achievement icon on Apple's server: Apple's server incorrectly displays the icon of "The Stuff Of Legends" achievement as that of the "Smashing" achievement. 【If you don't quite understand the content of the description, you can refer to the attached photo!】 I. System Adaptation and Interface Optimization New Perspective Options It is recommended to provide three visual effect options for all game interfaces: "Ultra-high Perspective", "High Perspective", and "Low Perspective". Different players have different needs for the display of game screens: the high perspective allows players to obtain more comprehensive battlefield information, while the low perspective may focus more on local battles, meeting different strategic planning and visual preferences. Multi-language Adaptation Currently, there are a large number of players from different countries and regions in the international version, especially a huge Chinese player group. To meet the needs of global players, it is recommended to add support for multiple languages, such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Hindi, Malay, etc. This can not only eliminate language barriers, enable players to better understand the game content and instructions, but also significantly enhance the game's attractiveness and competitiveness in the international market and promote the globalization development of the game. Recommendations on Promoting Full-Platform Ecosystem Layout Currently, Huawei HarmonyOS Next boasts substantial market potential. It is recommended to advance the full-platform ecosystem layout in the following directions: Establish a cross-platform cloud data interconnection system to fully cover the following mainstream operating systems and devices, and achieve full-region availability on corresponding app stores: Apple Ecosystem: iOS, iPadOS, macOS, visionOS, tvOS – available on the Apple App Store in all regions; Huawei Ecosystem: HarmonyOS PC, HarmonyOS Mobile – available on Huawei AppGallery in all regions; Android Ecosystem: Android, Android TV – available on Android app stores such as Google Play and Amazon App Store in all regions; Microsoft Ecosystem: Windows x86, Windows x64, Windows Arm – available on platforms including but not limited to Microsoft Store and Steam. Core Value: By realizing real-time synchronization of data such as game progress, save files, and personalized settings, we eliminate barriers to device switching, create a seamless gaming experience for users, and further enhance user retention and brand competitiveness. II. Visual Effect Optimization Solve the Problem of Darkened Color When Shadows Overlap When the shadows of multiple zombies or plants overlap, the color of the shadows will be darkened, which affects the beauty and visual effect of the game screen. It is recommended to fix this problem so that the shadows maintain a normal color display when overlapping, making the game screen clearer and more natural, and presenting a better visual experience for players. Handling of Obstacles After Level Victory When the level is won, all obstacles, such as tombstones, arcade game machines, ice blocks, etc., should automatically break and disappear. This can make the game interface cleaner, highlight the players' sense of achievement after victory, and also make more clear preparations for the next game, improving the players' gaming experience and feelings. Display an indicator before planting a plant Before planting a plant, a red or green indicator showing the plant's effective range will appear. If the plant is to be planted on an unplantable tile, the indicator for its effective range will be red; if it is to be planted on a plantable tile, the indicator for its effective range will be green. For example: When planting a Cherry Bomb on a plantable tile, a 3x3 green range indicator will be displayed beforehand; when planting a Cherry Bomb on an unplantable tile, a 3x3 red range indicator will be displayed beforehand. For example: When planting a Peashooter on a plantable tile, a green range indicator covering 1 row ahead will be displayed beforehand. If there is a slope in front of the planting tile, the green range indicator for the 1 row ahead will be shortened. When planting a Peashooter on an unplantable tile, a red range indicator covering 1 row ahead will be displayed beforehand. For example: When planting a Puff-shroom on a plantable tile, a green range indicator covering 5 tiles within 1 row ahead will be displayed beforehand; when planting a Puff-shroom on an unplantable tile, a red range indicator covering 5 tiles within 1 row ahead will be displayed beforehand. Additionally, when dragging a plant card slot onto the grid, a white "cross" marker will appear on the interface. Currently, although this marker can cross normally, the grid cell at the intersection has a significantly darker white tone. It is recommended to adjust the white tone of the grid cell at the intersection to match that of the non-intersecting grid cells, so as to enhance visual comfort. 【This feature can be referenced from Plants vs. Zombies 3】 Display an indicator before planting a plant Before planting a plant, a red or green indicator showing the plant's effective range will appear.

Optimization of Game Operation and Functions In-level Sun Purchase Feature Addition During a level, players are allowed to turn the tide of the battle by purchasing sun through watching ads or using coins. The purchase button will appear as a "plus sign" icon next to the sun value, enabling players to reverse the situation in critical moments. Below is the sun price list: 1st ad watched: Grants 500 sun 2nd ad watched: Grants an additional 700 sun (on top of the 1st ad’s reward) 3rd ad watched: Grants an additional 1,200 sun (on top of the 2nd ad’s reward) 3,000 sun: Costs 1,000 coins 7,000 sun: Costs 2,000 coins 12,000 sun: Costs 3,000 coins "Mallets" Function Optimization During a level, the method to obtain "Mallets" (for turning the tide of battle) is not limited to coin purchases—players can also gain Mallet uses by watching ads. A purchase button in the form of a "plus sign" icon will appear next to the "Mallets" button, allowing players to reverse the situation in critical moments. Additionally, Mallet uses can be acquired in the in-game shop either by watching ads or using coins. Below is the Mallet price list: Each ad watched: Grants 1 Mallet use (players can select the desired Mallet type); a maximum of 10 ads can be watched daily to obtain this reward. Discount rules for bulk Mallet purchases: Purchasing 2 Mallets uses: 15% overall discount Purchasing 3 Mallets uses: 25% overall discount Purchasing 4 Mallets uses: 30% overall discount Purchasing 5 Mallets uses: 40% overall discount Note: There is an inconsistency in the original text (stating both "2 uses = 15% discount" and "2 uses = 50% discount"). If following the original intent strictly, retain the 50% discount for 2 uses and adjust other tiers accordingly to avoid contradictions. Under the acceleration state within the level, the duration of using the "Mallet" will not decrease due to the acceleration effect, which makes the player's experience of using the "Mallet" during acceleration more in line with reasonable logic. When the "Mallet" is used, all zombies are in a static state, while plants can still attack zombies normally until the effect ends. Experience Optimization of the "Speed Up" Button When tapping the 「Speed Up」 button, add the same interface animations and audio feedback as in the international version of *Plants vs. Zombies 2* to make the level experience more engaging and eliminate monotony. When zombies approach the house, nearby zombies will trigger a red flashing alert visual effect, and the 「Speed Up」 button will automatically reset to 1x speed, further amplifying the tension! Mechanism for obtaining Lawn Mowers by watching advertisements After the user finishes watching the advertisement for the supply Lawn Mower, the Lawn Mower for the corresponding row will be replenished and placed back in its original position in that row. This ensures that the Lawn Mower is only activated when a zombie comes into contact with it, rather than being activated directly in the row. Achievement Function Expansion By completing and activating the corresponding achievements, you can unlock exclusive rewards, adding a stronger sense of ritual to every accomplishment. The above are some of my suggestions and feedback on Plants vs. Zombies International Version. I hope the development team can seriously consider them. I believe that through continuous optimization and improvement, the game will become more exciting, attract more players, and bring a better gaming experience to everyone. Optimization of Hypnotic Mushroom Tactics After a zombie finishes eating the Hypnotic Mushroom, the zombie will be healed to full health. The above are some of my suggestions and feedback on Plants vs. Zombies International Version. I hope the development team can seriously consider them. I believe that through continuous optimization and improvement, the game will become more exciting, attract more players, and bring a better gaming experience to everyone. Thank you, the development team, for bringing us such an interesting game. I look forward to the game getting better and better!

I've been playing Garden Warfare 2 for about a year now, and I've loved every second of it, but recently I've been having some problems with the XP system. Anytime I level up a character in multiplayer (or at all for that matter) it reverts when I go to the backyard. The same can be said for quests. It's almost infuriating, and it's another thing I worry about in this game where you can be shadowbanned for being slightly active in the community. I am unaware if this problem exists on console, but I'm feeling it on PC.Character levels not saving - very frustrating
Hello EA forums, I've had super commando on advanced for the few months now because everytime I get him to level 10 to get promoted to elite, I head back to backyard and his levels been reset to 6! Every time. It's really made me contemplate quitting this game because of the lack of support and numerous technical issues.PVZ GW2 Bugs/Issues I Have Noticed
Okay so let me start this off by prefacing that I used to play this game a bunch on my Xbox when I was younger, there weren't any bugs or issues like this when I used to play. Now that I am playing again on my pc I have noticed several big problems, one being how much lag the servers have, I mean this when I say it but I sincerely believe the servers are almost unplayable, I mean I will rubberband into a ZPG when I am VERY far away from it. Also when I play any game whether its mixed mode or turf takeover I will level up and not receive any of the levels upon returning to backyard, I still keep the upgrade if it is put on a character but this is a serious issue. Another problem is the amount of hackers/cheaters there are in the game, I will run a game of turf takeover and suddenly everyone is invisible and gets one shot by ANYBODY in the lobby, making it some weird invisible one shot gamemode that just sucks and ruins the fun for most people. I've also ran into many MANY people playing as bosses from the backyard/garden/graveyard ops, this is a tremendous issue as it ruins the core aspect of the game, like how am I supposed to push on great white north as a zombie when they have a mystic flower boss and spawning in the extra mystic flower AIs. It makes the game much more difficult to play and its usually if not almost always another person playing as the boss. Another thing mentioned recently within the community is people getting levels added to their characters via a script, the people keep these levels but they don't get the upgrades, this is a really big issue because they could end up falsely banned for something they didn't even do and it ruins the gameplay for them since they can't even level characters or get their upgrades. The big thing people do and the big objective in most peoples eyes is reaching rank 5455 by mastering every character and this script is ruining the whole point of it. Please Electronic Arts and please Popcap do something about the state of this game, as there has been a huge influx of players due to the popular streamer online known as Jynxzi. The state this game is in is truly heartbreaking to me as it has been a long time favorite of mine and millions of other people worldwide.Could Battle For Neighborville be revived/updated?
I know this is kinda random, but the game is soo good. Sure people are bent out of shape over varients and stuff, I'm not and alot of players live it. I think the upgrades and character variety work well. Anyways, if the game continues to get updates (which years of content was planned) it can really live up to it's precursors and shine to the more majority of the player base. There's still alot of people who play the game because it's a good game and what you've done with it is amazing. I think alot of players would be happy if the game got updated, whether it be veterans or newbies alike.Something bugs and suggestions for pvz replanted.
SUGGESTIONS (Switch 2 1.40 ) Starting off I feel like there should be a stinky the snail for the mushroom garden and the aquarium garden. There should also be a zombatar because I love customizing and I know many people want it back. Also I think after the feastivus update we should be able to keep the Christmas skins as a customization. Also there should be air raid (ds) mini game. And Bomb all together (ds) mini game. Also home run derby (ds) mini game if possible. I also feel there should be optional purchasable skin packs with 4 skins charging up to 8$. BUGS (one) I have my wisdom tree currently at 624 I still have not unlocked dancing zombies.Levels won't carry over between multiplayer and the backyard
So I've been playing a lot of Garden Warfare 2 on PC lately but only today have I ran into a big issue. When I gain levels on a certain character in multiplayer matches, the progress doesn't carry into the backyard. For example, I was Elite 7 at the beginning of the day on Mob Cob and got him to level 10 whilst playing on Zomburbia. When I returned to the Backyard however, Mob Cob was back at level 7, and all of the other characters I had played during my session such as Rock Pea, Z7 Imp, and Ice Citron. Is there any way for this issue to be fixed?
