PvZ GW2 - Levels Resetting When Going to Backyard - Steam
As about a week or so from writing, there has been a bug where when you return to the backyard from any other gamemode, your level will either reset or regress significantly and as time goes on, it's getting worse. Originally there were work arounds to this issue but they no longer work. My most recent fix that has stopped working was that, I had to close the game without touching anything when returning to the backyard, validate my steam files, and then return to the backyard. I also couldn't play more than 3 games in a row without returning to the backyard, or my most leveled save would have reset. However, I believe that this is a server issue rather than a locally hosted one, meaning that the player-base can't do squat until EA fixes the high loads that the servers are receiving due to the current influx of players. The issue is also getting worse with level reset because you originally could wait for it to update but that seems to no longer be the case.
I also recall a very similar issue when the game launched on Steam but I can only assume that the original fixes no longer work due to the fixes that someone on the original staff team implemented at the time for the original bug. We can only hope that EA will actually act on this game and put someone on to fix it because, as of writing, the Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare staff and developers have all left for other projects. We can only pray to god that EA recognizes and fixes this.
I have no known fixes for this issue as I've stated, my original fix has stopped working, saving in the globe no longer works, or the waiting in the character select for a few minutes, has all led me no-where. I've reinstalled the game on multiple drives, edited some files, and I'm constantly validating on steam. If anyone has any other fixes that they know of, or a relatively new one, please include below.
Thanks, and God speed.🙏
