DEV ANNOUNCEMENT: Tomorrow's Update, Downtime and PC Technical Update

October 1st Update and Downtime

Tomorrow’s update will cover a lot of items including:

  •         Battle Arena
  •         Lawn of Doom Festival
  •         Ops Phase 2 (Wave tuning, Elite Bosses)
  •         Character balancing
  •         Town Center Free Roam Region (Zombies)
  •         Many, many bug fixes!
  •         And more (check out our Trello board for a sneak peek): https://trello.com/b/x7uUvrqG/pvzbfn-tracker

This is a very substantial update and means that servers will be going down tomorrow at 11 AM PT for an estimated 4 hours (until 3PM PT) so we can implement this large update.

PC Technical Update

While there are some network and performance optimizations in this patch we have an additional PC update coming soon to improve performance & stuttering and will be releasing it once we feel confident it has been thoroughly tested. 

Moving Forward   

While we have improved optimization, know that we remain committed to listening to your feedback and continuing to work on improving our game across all platforms.

    @SimsTime As I understand it shouldn't be very long before that update, but we'll let folks know when there's solid info. 

    @aussiemate12ka4 Can you post about your issue - including your system info and the steps you've taken already - over in a dedicated thread? Hopefully we can get some help there to get you into the game. 

    Thanks.

    Not yet. Unfortunately I was in the public area of the game with other players, and there was still Stuttering. The way is to wait.

  • my problem is that when i go into the game and continue instead of going into the phase where major sweetie comes  it show another loading screan and after a bit it says i have been disconected from ea servers and i still haven't got into the game
