[PVZ GW2 PC] Friends Stopped Appearing on the Backyard Globe

PC and EA App user here, just today some friends stopped appearing on the Backyard Battleground Globe despite showing up as in game on the EA App overlay, I have had a few friends who don't show up on the globe before this actually, but it has now happened with my main group, I think it may have something to do with me losing connection to my internet while on the globe, really hoping for a fix to this, I haven't tried reinstalling the game nor app yet.

  • It can be frustrating when your friends stop appearing on the Backyard Battleground Globe in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. While I don't have access to specific game information or accounts, I can offer some general suggestions that might help resolve the issue:

    • Check your internet connection: Ensure that you have a stable internet connection while playing the game. Inconsistent or interrupted internet connectivity can sometimes cause issues with friend lists and online features. Re-establishing a stable connection may help restore your friends' visibility on the Backyard Globe.
    • Restart the game: Try exiting the game completely and then relaunching it. This can refresh the game's connection to the server and potentially resolve any temporary issues.
    • Verify game and app updates: Make sure that both Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 and the EA App overlay are up to date. Developers often release updates to address known issues and improve compatibility, so installing the latest updates may help resolve the problem.
    • Reinstall the game and app: If the previous steps don't work, you can consider reinstalling both the game and the EA App overlay. This process can sometimes help fix any corrupted files or configuration issues that may be causing the problem. Before doing this, it's advisable to back up any game data or progress to ensure it isn't lost during the reinstallation process.
    • Contact customer support: If the issue persists even after trying the above steps, it's recommended to reach out to the game's customer support. They can provide specific assistance based on your account and game details. Visit the official Plants vs. Zombies support website or forums to find the appropriate channels to contact customer support.
    • Remember to provide them with specific information about the issue, such as your platform (PC), the game (Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2), and any other relevant details. Screenshots or videos demonstrating the problem can also be helpful.


    I hope these suggestions help resolve the issue with your friends not appearing on the Backyard Globe. Good luck, and I hope you can enjoy playing the game with your friends soon!
