When EA replaced Origin my PvZ gives a "failed to user write file" error

When EA app took over Origin, my PvZ game broke. It gives me a "failed to user write file:.

I was told to clear cache in the EA menu. I did so. It didn't work.

I have Win 11 and on a PC. I really want it fixed please.

  • I went to the Plants vs Zombies exe file in the folder (click plants vs zombies game, click manage > view properties > browse)

    right click plants vs zombies.exe > properties --- click the 'compatibility' tab and check the box down below next to "Run this program as an administrator".

    You'll probably get a pop up on launch saying it needs permissions to run the game but I confirmed that dialog from EA app and when I launched the game again I was able to buy from the shop.

  • This didnt work for me, other than re-installing the EA app is there anything that can be done. I am running Win 11 64 pro, if that helps

    Were you able to get this resolved? I'm having the same issue.
