Everytime I start up my garden warfare I get a notification about how it couldnt recieve my saved data.

I think that this person deserves a "Bump" since he had this problem for a couple of weeks now.
Bumped thread.....
Thank you. Whenever I go to my customization and I customize my plants/zombies it doesnt save either. It shows my rank and money and everything else works fine. I have played this game for 100+ hours and have had no problem before. I have a quite powerful pc too, I play this game on ultra with a resolution of 1080p no problem, while running my second monitor. Here are my specs...
Graphics card: NVIDIA GTX 770 TI
Motherboard: Gigabyte 970A-DS3P
Cpu: Amd FX(tm)-6120 Six-Core Processor 3.50 Giga Hertz
Amount of ram: 10 Gigs
Windows 8 64-bit Operating System
Display: 2 Asus VE228H 21.5' 1080p MonitorsIf there is anymore information you need to figure out this problem be sure to tell me. Thanks ahead of time!
It seems to me that this would have to be network related and not your hardware.

The only thing I can think to try for your end that isn't network related is to RENAME your Documents/PvZ folder. It'll create a new one on relaunch. If it doesn't fix it, delete the new one and replace with the old one if you had non-default settings and don't want to set it up again.
Along the same lines... Copy the Origin Games/PvZ entire folder somewhere else. Open Origin and uninstall it. Close Origin. Copy the PvZ entire folder back. Open Origin and click "download" it will skip downloading and jump straight to installing. I would assume this would rewrite any files that are user based with default/stock values.
I assume you've tried repairs from within Origin, that'd be the quickest easiest thing to try first.

As I said first though.. it seems like it's something blocking a specific server the one that is responsible for serving up profile info. Possibly extra firewall software or software running that is mistaking it (maybe it updated rules automatically). Try closing things like that to test, narrow it down and add exceptions if that's the case.
Possibly change DNS to 8.8.8.8 // 8.8.4.4 (google dns)
To test you could sign up for a free trial of a VPN service. Most of them offer a segment of time to test it with no CC or payment info needed. This could help narrow it down if it doesn't do this when connected.
If you have a fancy router that has traffic shaping (marketed for gaming priority), I've heard that causes weird problems when it doesn't work right. I use something much different than a consumer router but I tried to do some traffic shaping of sorts and ended up with just a big mess that I ended up scrapping.
Perhaps try puting your IP/MAC in your router's DMZ to test. If it works then a port isn't forwarded or uPnP isn't working correctly.
I tried both of the top solutions but it didnt work and I dont know what you mean about fixing it from the router. Is there any other simple way to fix it that doesnt involve the router? Its worked perfectly fine for over 120+ hours...
