I would like to report a multiplying bug: Before I updated the app, I deleted first the resources so that I could free some space...then after the update I launched the game and noticed that my resources went skyrocket high, after that, I told my friend online about it and when I returned to the game it went even higher, I tried to download the app again but it still high (resources). Please help.

I don't quite understand. What exactly did you delete?
You can read here about the multiplier bug and how players managed to get rid off it: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Plants-vs-Zombies-2/I-got-rid-of-the-multiplier-bug/td-p/9260351
@0pt29uyq7mjw Hi, as a user who experienced this bug, and wrote the link @PowerToss posted, I wanted to ask you:
Have your resources have stopped multiplying?
Have any of your resources have been displayed as 0 after reaching 1.5 or 2 billion?
If your answer to either one of my questions is 'No', then contact EA support and file a case under 'Missing Content'. It worked for me.
Here's the link to filing a case:
It stopped multiplying, I spend some resources then after exiting and again launching the game again it replenishes what I have spent...
It only dispays 0 when i receive a specifoc resource, for example I recieved gold...my gold will become 0.
@0pt29uyq7mjw Then I recommend you contact EA since your data is in danger of being corrupted.
Too late, you will have to tap EA HELP at the bottom of the page to get them to remove the bug and reset your resources levels to what they should be.
@MAGICDAVESHROOM Not supporting hacking, but just wondering if it would be wise to take matters into your own hands and just hack your resource count to bring it back to original levels.
Edit: I in no way support hacking. I have played this game honestly ever since it was released.
The thing about the multiplication bug is that some players forced it to happen on their account by deleting the files "snapshot1.dat" and "snapshot2.dat" in the com.ea.game.pvz2 _row/files/No Backup folder. Deleting those two files will cause your resources to double when you open the game.
Some players who use VPN have had trouble with the multiplication bug because those files won't be downloaded ('potential virus'). Other players had a cleaner app on their device that would delete those files.
I would never touch or manually delete any file because you can easily corrupt your account.
I don't think it's a good idea, firstly most of the players who appear on these forums are newbies who know nothing about the resources doubling bug who love getting free gems, gauntlets, mints and coins right up until the point the game can't handle it and either resets their resources to 0 or even a negative number (a large garg from accounts comes and demands coins with interest).
I, and most of the regulars on this forum don't condone hacking, it's cheating and makes any small victories worthless.
There's a big difference in bending the rules and breaking them and i have cheerfully taken advantage of a lot of them and still do, i wouldn't know how to anyway.
The resources doubling bug is so old EA HELP can dEAl with it very EAsily.
Thanks, @MAGICDAVESHROOM. I don't condone hacking either as it ruins the game for many people.
same thing here, my coins multiplied too much that it became a negative integer and became zero, I don't know how to fix it
