Re: [Old Report] Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 Cannot Connect To Servers Error

Hey, so I recently came back to the game on PC and everything was fine. When I first downloaded it, it ran perfectly and there was no issue. The next day, I attempt to relaunch it and suddenly, it was crashing on the startup loading screen on the "Connecting to EA servers" part. The game simply closes itself down and there is no error message or anything. I've verified the game file integrity multiple times through Steam and it consistently states that 3 files fail to verify and have been reinstalled, but I still get the crashes. When I've relaunched the game after the verification, I noticed it reruns the install script for the EA anti cheat, so I'm betting that it has something to do with this, (I'm thinking it might not be a crash but rather it's forcefully just closing the game down for some reason) but I honestly don't know. I've not found a forum that is helping, but I've seen many people have crashing issues after this anti cheat update I've been looking into. Im still very confused because in my case, one day it was fine and the next, it's shutting down. Help would be much appreciated.

    Update: It's working now. I had to restart my PC multiple times. Maybe something to do with the background processes? I'd assume it was a PC issue but my specs are more than fine for the game and drivers are up to date with no component issues so I'm ruling that out.

    Hey @DaOne579 

    Thanks for informing us that the issue has been resolved. It's difficult to determine the cause when it's resolved through a system reboot. It could have been a system issue or something running in the background.
