    Hi @stefan3801, 

    Thanks for this information, PvZ won't appear in Origin in this case, since the EA Playlist you have access to via Xbox won't connect to that client. Only the EA App client. 

    With the note that it runs fine with other applications closed, we may be running into a resource issue. Can you check Task Manager when playing (when you notice issues) to see what might be running high? 

    Also, we can try running through the following to see if anything improves:

    • Make sure you whitelist EA App and PvZ from any anti-virus
    • Clear EA App's Cache 
    • Disable EA App's overlay (Select the menu on the top left > Settings > The application tab > Scroll down to "in-game" and disable)
    • Reset Windows Host File  
    • Run the System File Checker tool, Then check for Windows and GPU updates

I access PVZ through the Xbox app or EA. I used Xbox game pass to get it. It shows up on the EA app or EA play (I don't know the name) and the Xbox app. Also, it only runs quite well when it's only BFN running and no other apps/windows are open, as well as a few background processes.

    The 1st image is with a normal amount of things running on task manager. This is the video of how it runs with these. I think it's safe to say it will run smoothly without these things. By the way ignore the music it's just spotify 🤭

      I think that it is very good now but if you have any more tips to make it smoother please let me know!
