Game Crashes
I've been playing the game since it was released on PC and am max rank now, but yesterday after Origin updated the game crashes righta way when I start it. I tried un-installing the game and Origin...

So I finally got the game to run again and it wasn't easy.
First I had to download "Display Driver Uninstaller" to remove every trace of my AMD drivers. It also removes drivers for other video card types. Download at your own risk. Then I re-installed it from the website in the link above. I also re-installed Direct X in the PVZ folder.
Now my problem is my analog doesn't work on my controller so I still can't play ☹️, but I want to thank everyone for the quick responses.
What kind of controller?
There may be settings in Devices & Printers you can switch over.
I spent about 20 seconds testing a controller because I play with Keyboard/Mouse.. but I used PS3 controllers using the Xbox360 driverset and it worked as expected (as far as the computer was concerned it was seeing an Xbox360 controller).. I didn't test with the several other ways to hook up a ps3 controller.
Its a PS2 Dual Shock controller, but it was old and the analog on it wouldn't set so it was probably failing. I just used my PS3 controller which I had sitting in a closet. However, now when I summon a drone and use its primary weapon it cancels out and explodes. Not sure why when my buttons were set the way they were before.
Re-installing my video drivers and using another controller has worked wonders for my game. The game moves much smoother and my crosshair doesn't move around when I'm firing at a target.
