I can't believe it. What the hell were they doing all the time??? I am playing the updated version with the 5k Bulb fix, but I got a daily challenge that is still showing as completed.I mean seriously, you had ONE job?! I assume the fix from 15k to 5k takes 2 minutes to implement, since you only have to change a number, but you even postponed the fix 2 days for it not to work in the end? Are you testing your fixes before you release them?This gets more and more insane from day to day.

Hey PvZ friends, We're sorry for issues you're encountering. We know its frustrating! I just had a pow-wow with smart guys and this is what we believe: We believe the issues with bad challenge statuses has been resolved Unfortunately players who were previously in the bad state are still experiencing the issue We need your help: We believe re-rolling the challenge fixes the issue. We'd love your help to verify this. We believe its not possible to get in this bad state anymore. We're investigating a make-good to the community. I promise any lost progress will be handled generously. We just want this fixed! Thanks, -sl

Yep. I logged in this morning and one challenge was stuck. I've been able to get these done by logging off and on and defeating the appropriate target, sometimes I have to vanquish the listed number, log off, log back on, and then vanquish one more for credit, sometimes it's much easier and I log off and back on and vanquish just one appropriate enemy and get instant credit so you can work around them, but this really needs to be fixed after 2 patches to address it.

@ToastedSarnie I'm not into programming and things like that but I couldn't have imagined that fixing such minor issue (in my point of view) could cause such trouble. Starting to think about the major issues in this game makes me worry about the whole game.

@ippig I know, me too. Not sure even the xp change is enough to stop the frustration. I'm losing the will to live, never mind play the game & my problems haven't been as bad as many other people's.

@TLEsquire Ok, so I was fine last night but this morning my 2nd challenge was sitting there with a completed tick. Could've re-rolled but the whole point of the re-roll, surely, is to get rid of a challenge you don't want to do (& it has always annoyed me that re-rolling doesn't just give you another challenge straightaway). Tried re-doing the challenge & was awarded the bulb, but how much of that is luck, Idk! This is not my idea of fixed! Words truly fail me.

Srsly PopCap, even after the hotfix I got a challenge showing as completed?!

@34975634954957 Several people have said that it is possible to get the bulb and clear the quest by doing the quest if it's broken. That was the state of things before the patch though it didn't always work. Well, maybe after patch it is now 100%, that would be something I guess?

@34975634954957 I've re-done the completed quest & got a bulb this morning, both on my own acc & my son's - but don't know if that's luck of the draw

I've been able to complete them by doing one of the following, note-so far I've only had this for defeat 'x specific enemies', not sure if this can work on other types of challenges:
1) Log off, log back on and defeat one of that specific enemy type. It will often instantly complete even with just the one mob and give me the bulb.
2) If 1 doesn't work, defeat at least enough of the mobs to satisfy the amount (25, 10, etc.), then log off and back on again, defeat one more mob and it's worked.
I've always been able to get these done via one of these 2 methods, but again, I've only tried this for 'Defeat 20 enemies in giddy park' or 'defeat 25 scientists', etc. If you get a stuck one like 'complete 3 PvP matches' I'm not sure if this will work.
This has to be fixed!

@Iron_Guard8 One of the ones I did was 25 Giddy Park vanquishes by Deadbeard, the other Win a game of Ops as any assault class

@Iron_Guard8 For me if it’s stuck I get one of them if it doesn’t work I quit the game reload and get one again and this works every time for me on PS4

@Meadoz Xbox. Sometimes that worked for me, sometimes I'd have to get all the vanquishes & still others I'd have to re-roll. Has been very random for me

To be fair, you can test these changes offline a million times but implementing them (real time) is a different/more challenging story.
I’m thankful to have the ability to earn 5-10 Bulbs per day now and am happy to wait for this glitch to be fixed.
If 2-3 weeks pass and this matter is left untouched, it would be a different story. I have faith this will be fixed in the next week or so. 😊👍. (They’re really listening/trying now!!!)

@Shaun_Popcap I'll re-roll next time I
have a completed challenge instead of attempting to re-do the challenge & see what happens. Thank you very much for posting here, it's appreciated!
