It's been about a month and a half, and I still can't open up PvZGW2. I have checked many websites to help me out, but they all end up not working. I have been looking at other forum posts and stumbled across a couple of people having the same problem. I didn't think much of it, but someone had replied to the forum talking about how buying the game on sale leads to the game being unable to launch. If you got the game while it was on sale, you most likely can't open the game anymore. It doesn't make sense, but people buying the game on sale also had this problem.

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?
