When I try to start Plants vs zombies, I always get the same error message. It says I haven't activated the game, even though I was able to play it normally on Origin. I also have some ingame time. Any way to fix this?
better than EA assistance. and i'm not paid
I have the English version of this game and am sitting with exactly the same problem. Uninstalling and re-installing doesn't help at all, And installing another language and then reverting back to English also doesn't work.
How can EA not have a game-breaking bug like this fixed after more than 3 months?!
We have had the exact same problem here, and literally nothing works. The so-called customer service is nothing but a merry-go-round where nothing is solved in any sense of the word whatsoever. They just send you in circles, often asking for the exact same information repeatedly, such as "verifying your account," and each reply has nothing to do with whatever you had emailed before. Some people told me the game has been "sunset" and will not work, others said that isn't true...the right hand has no idea what the left is doing. It's a complete joke, and the BBB is full of similar complaints.
I finally gave up and purchased a disk. Only problem for us is that we can only install it on an older laptop, which runs slowly and the game freezes. So essentially, we can't play at all anymore. Which is a huge bummer. It has been 4 entire months and absolutely nothing has been resolved.
I haven't even purchased any more items for my Sims because I am afraid of losing my purchases and never being able to recover them again.
At the Moment? Right now we have october and this Bug still persists... my 5 year old wanted to play and can't... we didn't have this bug in Origin...
@Gorgha @CptnButtscar @HecticBru @Darmaniwolf @QTGRRL Hi guys, are you all from England or America?
