Product: Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for NeighborvillePlatform:PCPlease specify your platform model. PCPlease provide your Xbox gamertag or PSN ID. (Optional) In what game mode did the bug occur? Main HubSummarize your bug Sometimes when you switch characters you suddenly lose your character model, also losing the abilities, shooting, turning or moving. You can still jump for some reason.Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Not sure, it just happened out of nowhere really. My guess is having somewhat above minimal game requirements has to do something with it.How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)There's a rare bug when you respawn you lose your character and the ability to do anything.This bug has no workaround, once it happens you HAVE to quit the game.

It’s not a rare bug for me it happens almost every time I change characters in the home world

I also have this problem. It happened in the homeworld when I switched teams it couldn't load any of my character models and I had to force quit.

Has happened to me on multiple occasions on the PS4.When opening the game menu and selecting "respawn" and also when entering and changing characters in the Changing Booth.Any character selected, other then the one you were using immediately prior to the bug will not load, abilities will not display or will only partially display. Primary weapon will not fire and movement is not possible.You may reenter the game menu and reselecting the last character which successfully spawned will allow that character to spawn properly, but only that character. Using that character to change your Giddy Park settings to "Private" and then reloading Giddy Park allows for new characters to spawn properly.

This glitch is happening to us in home world
If we switch from plants to zombies or go to changing booth or try to switch in any manor 75% of the time. We are getting sick of restarting the game! I laughed when I saw it was a rare problem more like it rarely doesn't happen. it's annoying I hope they fix it makes my son quit after a few restarts. Getting old and we just got the game a month ago. Just had a new internet provider hooked up hoping that would help but still the same definitely a problem with the game.

This happens to me too. I have tried quitting and reopening the game but it won't be fixed. At this point the game is unplayable for me. I do hope they fix this because I was looking forward to this game, but this bug is preventing me from even playing.
