HiI wanted to share a problem with Plants vs. Zombies 2 and its updates...So, plants vs. Zombies 2 says "in order to play arena or penny's pursuit, I have to update the game". So then I click the mode and it says " update plants vs. Zombies 2? " and I click yes and it now prompts me to the update page where I can update plants vs. Zombies 2.But it doesn't show the option to update plants vs. Zombies 2 it just says " open " and so I can't play either Arena or penny's pursuit on plants vs. Zombies 2Extra info:- I am on IOS - Use an iPad with not the latest version of the app store ( also doesn't let me update the app store )Please if you can help with this issue I will happily take the advice from this communityThank you 🙂

JUST NOW, when i want to play PVZ 2, i can't play PENNY'S PURSUIT and ARENA. It says that i should download new Version. But it's weird because on the Play store, there's no option for update. It's says only "PLAY". Not update. I try to refresh the play store few times. I also restart my phone, and try use a wifi. But it didn't work.

I've tried to uninstall and reinstall the game but still can't play Arena and Penny's pursuit.

I got this NEW UPDATE IS AVAILABLE glitch in my game where I was about to play the arena but it is stated that I need to update but when I got to Google Play, it does not have any indication that I should update something.I tried to uninstall the game yet nothing happened. I was so frustrated since I wanted to get the Gatling Pea since I am busy for a couple of weeks and then this happened. And I was able to play the arena a couple of day ago.

Hey @fv1toxh07r8l Can you check for device updates and connect with a different network to see if this continues?

Suddenly the app, today, starts to ask for update to play arena, but it's already updated and there isn't any update available in the Play Store. How can I proceed to play Arena again?Thanks, André

Regional server slow to sync, update will be available later.
If you want to access Arena, please check the Hints and Tips section.

As @eieio_31310 has pointed out, you can still access arena through the main screen, tap on the picture then the red cross ❌️ and you should go directly to arena, (sometimes it goes directly to arena, sometimes a banner for other plants pops up).

But it still does not solve the main problem. Not possible to access it in general.

Many people have this bug while game devs don't seem to want to help
