Re: Plants VS Zombies Game of the year edition Windows 10 Error reading user file !

@dcat14I got it to work while preserving some user settings. After the first time running and letting it cloud sync, i disabled cloud sync and then i went to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<usernumber>\3590\remote and started removing DAT files one at a time (had some as old as 2010) and rerunning. eventually found the one bad one and the game would then start.

When you re-enable cloud sync, all the dat files return to that directory so you'll get them all back.  your awesomeness might still be there.  For me, once I got a good run by deleting the bad file, I re-enabled cloud sync and it just started working with all the files sync'd (e.g. didn't have to delete any).  Weird but worked. got my achievements and garden and tree back (and money).

    It has been nearly 2 months so I dont recall but I think deleting those is what sent me back to 0. Course I wasn't patient enough to try one at a time and probably deleted all.

    I do not know if there is a cloud space limit but I'm thinking I had reached mine??

    Not sure. Well back to the drawing board. Tree is around 100 foot and I've beat it like 4 times since then.

    Thanks.
