Crashing on Startup

@SERPERNTINE

Does a crash error box come up?  What does it say?

Please post your DXDiag here:

If not on Windows 10, please also check Reliabilty History for PvZ.exe crashes

What does the Fault Module say?

Okay I went to check the crash thing it says but nope this time it works ._.

But usually when I start it up it just says PvZ GW2 has stopped responding... Nothing else.

 Well I got the DxDiag just in case

@SERPERNTINE

Here are some ideas maybe:

Force the game to use Borderless:

Documents\PVZ Garden Warfare\settings\PROF_SAVE_profile

Edit with Notepad

Borderless:
GstRender.FullscreenMode 2

GstRender.FullscreenScreen 1

-------

You could also try setting all the games settings to default by deleting the GW folder in Documents.  It will recreate to default settings on next launc.

-----

Try going to nVidia Control Panel and defaulting the Global 3D Properties.

I do not believe your computer has an active Intel HD530 IGP but to be safe make sure the game is using the 980m by doing this:

nVidia Control Panel -> 3D Settings -> Program Settings -> Add Program (PvZ) -> High Performance Processor

----

I don't see any crash errors in the DX report for GW but it does have a lot of DllHost.exe -> OLMAPI32.DLL

DLLhost I believe has to do with .Net redist files (may be relevant).

OLMAPI32 I believe is mostly associated with Outlook in Office (probably not relevant?)

You may try some things like:

SFC /Scannow

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Re-running the game's .Net installer from:

Origin Games\Plants vs Zombies\__Installer\vc\vc201XUpdateX\redist\vcredist_x64.exe

Select Repair
