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

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.
