Plants vs Zombies Garden warfare 2 steam won't launch

Hi

I just bought Plants vs Zombies Garden warfare 2 for my laptop and as soon as i launched the game it keeps crashing and telling me i have to reinstall the game,

after 3 reinstalls the game still didn't launch.

It probably has something to do with this laptop of mine being new and i do not know how to fix it.

Please help me.

  • Hello @Flimsygamer 

    Please try and install Visual C++ and DirectX from "__Installer"  folder, which is located in the main game folder. After installing, please restart your laptop and try running the game.

  • has anyone found a fix yet? i rally want to play but i have the same issue. it just sucks

  • I had  a simiar problem once and the solution was to create a new user in Windows and install the game under the new user. My files were corrupt under my old user and there was no fixing it. Not an ideal solution and a hassle to have to switch users to play the game, but it got the game running. Good luck.
