Re: [Steam] PvZ Garden Warfare 2 Deluxe Edition not launching

Hi @vertitacial, Buying the game wouldn't cause an issue if it was on sale. It is the same game as a full-price purchase. The only difference is that someone cut the price on the store. The actual download is the same.

    It's just bugging me that people with the same problem as me also got it while on sale. It may just be a pure coincidence, but that's why I'm confused. If it was a pure coincidence, then it's probably just my specs or something, but it isn't. I'm just completely lost, but I'm gonna try something and just hope it works brb

    Hello @EA_Shepard , I finally got the game to work in an odd way. I just got my ethernet cable, and it just decided to work when I opened it. If anyone else that stumbles to the same problem, try an ethernet cable. Don't know how but it worked so im not complaining

    And that was short-lived. My game now doesn't work, but I got another error message. This error message reads, "This file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. Please install an app or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Apps Settings page." I had tried to open the app through the file location, and I got the same problem that I had initially. @EA_Shepard if you can, please help me out. There's at least an error that we're able to go off of.

    Hi @vertitacial, Do you have the game, Steam and the EA app all on the same drive?

    Stuck in preparing is a very different error than not connecting to the servers, which they are looking into. Can you attach a screenshot of the error(s) you see when you launch the game on Steam?

    I don't seem to be stuck in preparing anymore, but I'm getting this error now. I had reinstalled, and it worked perfectly until I shut down my computer. Once I shut down my computer, it does this error, and I'm not trying to reinstall every single time just to play this game.
