11 years agoPVZ GW Locking up PC
My PC plays the game just fine, but will lock solid everytime now before I am able to complete 10 rounds of Garden Ops... Now, the strange part...I was able to play just fine on really old ATI drivers...
Great job at testing different things.
The only thing that really catches my eye is the Athlon 2core... what you describe isn't as frequent but I've seen some other people with freezing issues with lower end 2 core CPUs (i.e. lower end Core2's and athlons).
------------------
Maybe some here will help:
Open Notepad.
Copy and Paste this:
RenderDevice.ForceRenderAheadLimit 1
PerfOverlay.DrawGraph 0
PerfOverlay.DrawFps 1
PostProcess.DofMethod 0
PostProcess.BlurMethod 0
PostProcess.DynamicAOEnable 0
PostProcess.DynamicAOMethod 0
Render.VSyncFlashTestEnable 0
WorldRender.TransparencyShadowmapsEnable 0
WorldRender.MotionBlurEnable 0
WorldRender.MotionForceOn 0
WorldRender.SpotLightShadowmapEnable 0
WorldRender.SpotlightShadowmapResolution 256
WorldRender.LightTileCsPathEnable 0
RenderDevice.Dx11Enable 0
RenderDevice.Dx11Dot1Enable 0
RenderDevice.Dx11Dot1RuntimeEnable 0
RenderDevice.VSyncEnable 0
RenderDevice.TripleBufferingEnable 0
GameTime.MaxVariableFps 30
Save it as "user.cfg"
You cannot have user.cfg.txt
enable "View Extentions of Known File Types" from Folder Options in Control Panel
Put it in your PvZ directory
\\Origin Games\Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare

MaxVariableFps = make this 60 for 60 fps cap.

If you want to contact EA:
Tried the above and didnt see a difference. Any other suggestions?
ye,do not use ati cards ^^
ok ok joking
had to do this ^^
I swapped the ATI for a GEFORCE GTX 660 but the issue persists.
Anyone else have an idea on what might solve this?
Thanks again,
