PvZ Gw2 Won't Launch

Recently, I wanted to revisit Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2, because I enjoyed it a lot previously, but after reinstalling it I can't even start the application on the EA app, after several hours of searching through threads and trying as hard as I can to fix this issue, whenever I click play, it says launching game closes EA app, then reopens it immediately with no error message or anything, how do I fix this?

  • I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing difficulties launching Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 through the EA app. While I can offer some general troubleshooting suggestions, please note that specific technical issues may require assistance from the game's support team or EA's customer support.

    Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:

    • Update your graphics drivers: Ensure that your graphics drivers are up to date. Outdated or incompatible graphics drivers can cause issues with launching games. Visit the website of your graphics card manufacturer (such as NVIDIA or AMD) and download the latest drivers for your specific graphics card model.
    • Verify game files: If you're using a PC, check if the EA app or the game itself provides an option to verify the integrity of game files. This process checks for any corrupted or missing files and repairs them if necessary.
    • Run as administrator: Right-click on the EA app or the game's executable file and select "Run as administrator." This can help ensure that the game has the necessary permissions to run properly.
    • Disable background applications: Some background applications or services can interfere with game launches. Try temporarily disabling any non-essential programs running in the background, such as antivirus software, overlays, or third-party optimization tools, and see if that resolves the issue.
    • Repair or reinstall the game: If none of the above steps work, you can try repairing or reinstalling the game. In the EA app or the game's settings/options, look for an option to repair the installation. If that's not available or doesn't resolve the issue, uninstall the game completely and then reinstall it.
    • Contact EA support: If the problem persists, it's best to reach out to EA's customer support for further assistance. They have access to specific game and platform information and can provide more targeted solutions or escalate the issue if necessary.


    When contacting EA support, be sure to provide them with all relevant details, including the steps you've already tried and any error messages or specific behaviors you've observed. This will help them understand the issue better and provide more accurate troubleshooting steps.

    I hope these suggestions help you resolve the issue and get back to enjoying Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2.
