Crashing Game

This is more like a workaround than a question. Idk where to post it. So, i'm posting it here. Moderaters, please move this to appropriate thread.

PvZ2 crashes on startup if your battery went dead while playing the game. The only soultion to this is uninstalling and re-installing which quite sucks since the game is now 350MB.

I recently found a workaround on Android devices.

Follow these steps once your game starts to crash on start-up. 

1)  Plug your device into computer and open Android --> obb. There'll be a folder named    com.ea.pvz2 ....       Copy that to your computer.

2) Next, open Android --> android. There'll be a similar folder there. Copy it to a different location.

3) unplug your device and un-install the game.

4) Plug your device back in and copy the folders in computer to original folder.

5) Connect to GPlay and open PvZ2 page and click install.

6) You'll download around 8MB file and after installing, you'll be good to go. 🙂

PS: When you log into the game, connect your g+ account with PvZ 2 since it can restore your progressed data on other devices too. Hope this works for everyone

    I was playing yesterday night on my Nexus 4 when my phone run out of battery and it switched off without even showing the message warning of it. When I turned it on and tried to resume the game, I found that I had lost all my progress, the game wouldn't show my username anymore. 


    I' m freaking out cause I've been playing the game for a year and a half and I had managed to buy all the new plants with my gems and bought some others with real money. Is there anything I can do to recover all my progress? I've tried with this workaround but it's the same, when I run the game my previous username is not there. I can see my achievements and all the Play Games stuff though...

    Glad I am not the only one that had this issue! However I am really mad it happened!!!! 

    Same exact thing, was playing when my tablet lost all of the battery, charged up logged back in - all the profiles was gone! 

    I do sync with Google+ however, I don't see my saved game progress when signing back in.

    The same thing happened a few weeks back when my son my playing, I just assumed he deleted all the profiles - he told me the battery went dead and they all just disappeared. 

    Any solution for this?

    Hi,

    I lost my users, not my progress. How can I restore the older users?
