    @HexaTropgros Hey i fixed my problem guys! try starting origin as an adminstrator and then go to your gamefiles and open there the PVZBattleforNeighborville.exe as an adminstrator 🙂 I'm super happy that it worked i hope it does for you all too!

Did they ever fix the problem with non-ASCII characters in user names or is that still crashing on startup?

This game is so low quality

Its 2025 and it still has this issue, did they even update it since release?

I used this method to change my username:

  1. Use the netplwiz command to change the username for the profile

  2. Use the "wmic useraccount get name,SID" command to find the correct SID for my account

  3. Open up regedit, and go to this path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\<SID>

  4. Edit the "ProfileImagePath" to the correct username

  5. Go into the C:\Users and rename the folder to the correct name.

  6. Run this command mklink /d "Full path of old profile folder name" "full path of new profile folder name"
