PVZ PS3 keeps freezing

Does it find a map before it freezes? What game mode are you searching for? Are you able to join any servers at all?

It goes straight to a map image and sometimes i can hear other users on mics.

so im guessing its connected to the server.

It usually does it on gardens and graveyards online. sometimes on others but usually on that mode.

Are you on wired or wireless?  It sounds like it just isnt connecting very well for you.  Also what country are you located in?  

Hi

My english is not perfect: I'm from Spain, and I just hope you understand me and I can make my point.

First of all, my connection is not the best, but I can play all the online games I want, like GTA, Call of Duty, and many more, without any issues, lag or low FPS.

I'm on a slim 200GB PS3, I have a wireless connection, the modem is about 10-15 centimeters from my PS3, and it freezes almost continuously when loading gardens & graveyards. This issue has been present since the beginning of the game, though, it was not every time. From some weeks till now, it's really hard to connect. Today it's been like 5 times trying to connect to g&g, and freezing. 5 times in a row. I hope you understand my frustration on this. I have realized that most of the times happens with the gardens and graveyards mode, and most of all, on the Dave mansion picture (which now I hate, as when I see it, it's like  'oh my god, please no, please no!'.

I only had a crash being ingame once, before christmas, but never more. It only happens trying to connect for the first time. If I play more matches in a row, it never freezes on loading.

I love the game, it's quite good and congratulate you for it, but, this makes my game experience annoying. I want to play, and I can't :,(

My PS3 user is Onyria, I have level 123 right now and the album complete (just to, maybe, give you some ideas on why this could be happening).

Thanks and, overall, good job Popcap

Hi

I'm deeply sorry for the forum post nigromance, but as this keeps happening after a long time, and there were no answers at all, and just happens on Walnut hills, I just wanted to know if there's any planned update to fix this. Is there any? This morning happened to me 3 times in a row, and it's quite frustrating to turn off the ps3 from the console button each time.

Please Popcap, I love this game but everytime I join a game at wal nut hills I find myself praying to not get frozen.

Thanks

Wired connection is always best, especially for a Multiplayer game such as Garden Warfare.  Lots of people have complained on Walnut hills and we keep trying to make it happen here, but have not had the crash, we are trying!

Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it, 
though, I play GTA Online, and Call Of Duty with a wireless connection and this never happens on those games.
Also, I don't play any garden ops anymore: at least, the only serious bug at G&G is that one (others are minor). But on special (Edit: garden ops) ops.... I always have to reset the PS3 from my system button, abandoning my friends, and having to excuse myself, while my PS3 makes more noise every day thanks to all the shut downs I've had to make.
I said to all my friends that I don't accept any special ops invitation because special ops is filled with bugs. I haven't completed any special ops in about 3 months, because sometimes it gets frozen, sometimes the server rejects me (the EA servers: I keep connected to PSOnline at every moment, and if I check my ping and my FPS, they 're perfect)
I'm eager to see any update on this. I still love this game, but I keep seeing updates for PVZ2 on ipad, while this game seems forgotten: I have 1.600.000 credits and dunno where to expend it! DLCs? new envelopes? new maps? at least, new snack-based chompers or scientists? nothing!
It's sad: because I see many people playing this game, there's always a g&g to join, or to switch. But no updates at all.
As I say, I love this game, I'd rather buy any DLC or expansion you make, but after more than 1 year, this is quite disappointing for a PVZ game, in terms of content.

Are you saying the friends are in the same game as you, and they're not experiencing the same issue?

Yes, on Garden Ops, and many times on G&G.
Though, it's been months since I don't complete a garden ops, and not because we die or anything: because it throws me away from the server, and yes, it throws me out from the game and my friends stay at the same session sometimes: some other days, like today, it throws away 2 or 3 persons, staying maybe 1 person at the session (the host maybe, if there is?).
As I also say, this doesnt happen with the rest of online games I play at the same console.
Also, today the Walnut hill bug at G&G happened to me 3 times in a row, and I just desisted.
Could you place a token at my user id to check error logs or else?? It's just incredible that your QAs are not being able to reproduce the bug, when it happens to me almost every day I play:

As a user, I just want to be able to join a G&G session on Walnut Hills, without having to reset my PS3 from the system button when it gets frozen on the loading window.
- My client is installed at the console, I downloaded it from the PSStore.
- My level is 149 and I have 1.800.000 credits to spend.
- My PS3 is a slim 200GB version, from 2 years ago + or -.
- I play with headset, 'Tritton' brand.
-The bug only happens on joining a G&G session: if Walnut Hills comes later on the session, it loads perfectly.
-You can guess the bug happened when the loading white flower icon stops moving.

Thanks

Of course, when it's 'on joining' a G&G, I'm not at the same session, but sometimes I'm with them at any game, then the people starts leaving the session for any reason, maybe at a moment we're just 2 vs 2, and we decide to try to join another game: I tell them to join me when I reach any, and then the bug is there: my friends see me disconnecting as I can't do anything else but shutting down the system, and later they tell me that I leave without waving bye or else. They leave too, and the game is over because of this.... magnificent bug. This has happened to me many times.

Ok, let's suppose I re install the client:

will I lose my XP level?
