Hi @solopalyms,
Bluestacks is not supported so I never really looked into it but I haven't heard about anything about game studios disabling games on purpose for that platform. Since it's an emulator it should work like it does on Android. Maybe the game is not compatible anymore with the most recent version of that emulator? I really don't know though.
well, pvz2 used to work on bluestacks 2 without problem. the restriction came much later.
and i'm pretty sure it must be the people of popcap / ea who have placed some kind of lock on the application. if i launch bluestacks and open pvz2 as soon as the emulator allows, the game will load without problem, it will display the menus without incident and it will let me go as far as to choose a level. but eventually the entire application just crashes and closes. if i try to open it again, this time it won't go past the popcap banner at the beginning, no matter what.
i already sent an email to the ea email address listed on android's play store and got an automated reply directing me here, so, what gives? would you know who else can i contact about this?
Hi @jljhiiwejfnfsk,
I'm going to be blunt and you're going to hate me for saying this, but please remember that Bluestacks and emulators are not supported: The game is developed to work on Android and iOS.
There's no conspiracy. The studio didn't lock out Bluestack players on purpose. The studio is working to resolve issues on Android and iOS devices, but ultimately it's the responsibility of the emulator developers to ensure their app work with games developed for these platforms.
If you play on an iOS or Android device and the game is not working, please contact the support team for further assistance.
Hi Zoe,
i don’t hate you at all, at least i got a reply.
that’s all i’ve managed to read after writing to the bluestacks support, to you and to the google play support: not supported.
my trouble is impossible to solve, however being ignored makes the situation even worse.
i’m glad i got to cause a reaction anyway.
amico,
saluti.
hello to everyone as well.
i want to report that i have been able to solve the issue i had with pvz2 on bluestacks. i never got a solution from the people at ea or at bluestacks, but some weeks ago i had to do a complete reinstall of the operating system in my computer and as bluestacks was deleted i had to reinstall that program again. once i reinstalled bluestacks again, all applications, including pvz2 have been working perfectly. so, the issue lied with the operating system, there was never any kind of block from ea or any issue with bluestacks.
amico, vuoi deve tentare la stessa strategia, prima eliminare bluestacks e dopo fare un reinstall. google effettivamente salva il vostro progresso.
