    @in2action Thank you so much! I figured it was only the license file so I just deleted the below file and it worked:

Hey All,

The team is looking into this error again. As the normal troubleshooting steps for this had not worked and affected other titles again, we escalated it back for review.

Once we get an update on it, we will let everyone know!

Cheers!

Hey there, another one having the same issues. Customer support told me to search here....

Deleting the given dlf-file didn't help.

And no way am I going to re-install the game having a 73 Rounds Vasebreaker Record that would be lost! It took me ages to get there =) (no cheating, of course)

Here's a thought that has not come up, I think:

I've bought PvZ way back in the day on DVD but the version I've been playing the last few years was a free giveaway on Origin then.

Could this be a reason the game does not work anymore now we all have to use the EA-App?

My game data is in an Origins Folder on my D-drive, while the EA Data is on C.

Playing the German version. All other language folders in the PvZ-Folder are existent but empty.
