URGENT: Content Creator's GW2 Account Sabotaged by "Level 46" Hack. Help!
My Garden Warfare 2 account was subjected to a targeted hack that has left me unable to access multiplayer. Starting around 23:50 Beijing Time on the 27th and continuing for about two hours until the end of my livestream, I returned from a multiplayer match to the Backyard only to find all my character levels had been abnormally reset to "46." Additionally, two unauthorized "313 Level Reward Sticker Packs" appeared in my Sticker Shop. Since then, I've been completely locked out of multiplayer. During the session, I initially played on Asian servers but encountered a "lobby switcher" hack in the very first match (as seen in my stream recording BV1R4sSz5EaG). I then switched to the West Americas servers, where I played for about an hour and a half without noticeable issues—until returning to the Backyard around 01:16 Beijing Time on the 28th, when the damage became apparent. The "Level 46" reset is a known unofficial method used by hackers as a form of retaliation or "account blocking," previously observed in community-led anti-cheat efforts. It is extremely unfortunate that I have now become a target of this malicious act. If we choose to look away today, when disaster strikes us tomorrow, there will be no one left to speak up for us. My channel on Bilibili (https://space.bilibili.com/39507722) has been dedicated to creating gameplay videos and reviews for the Plants vs. Zombies series since 2016, primarily focusing on the original PvZ and Garden Warfare 2. To date, my videos have accumulated over 4.366 million total views across the platform. My most popular Garden Warfare 2 reviews—featuring the Peashooter and Foot Soldier—have reached 162,000 and 124,000 views respectively. Through my content, I've helped attract tens of thousands of new players to the game, and I’ve built a meaningful presence within the Chinese PvZ community. I've also contributed to the development of a well-known "PvZ1-2 hybrid Pak" mod in China—a project that many players recognize. I have poured my heart into supporting this game and its community. It would be devastating if all these efforts were cut short by a malicious hack. I sincerely hope that EA does not overlook a dedicated creator like me. This incident occurred in the early hours of October 28th, Beijing Time. To support my case, I have included the live stream recording from that day. The video evidence clearly shows my account was functioning normally prior to the incident and can help identify the malicious activity. I strongly urge you to review it: (https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1R4sSz5EaG)2.5KViews188likes72CommentsUnban from Save Corruption (Ban Exploit) in PvZ: Garden Warfare 1
Hello everyone, If you’ve encountered the "ban exploit" issue in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 1, you’re not alone. This problem has been known since at least 2021 and is caused by malicious players corrupting your cloud save data on EA servers. What does the ban exploit look like? For EA: Hackers inject corrupted data into the cloud save of a player. When the game client tries to read that corrupted save, it crashes due to an invalid response from the EA server. For players in GW1: When launching the game, it freezes at the "Connecting to EA servers" screen and never loads. You can only close it through Task Manager. Example video showing the bug: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suVhZ9P5mMc How can you fix it / get unbanned? We need only one thing: your EA ID. You can post your EA ID here on the forum, but there’s a risk it might be overlooked due to the volume of posts. To help victims more efficiently, we’ve created a dedicated Discord server where you can drop your ID. Once the unban (save fix) is done, your ID will be removed from our list. Join the Discord server here: https://discord.gg/mMRqb2vpT9 Note: Unbanning may take a couple of days depending on the queue, so please be patient. Please help us spread the word! If you know other players affected by this issue, share this link and invite them to the server. The more attention this gets, the more players we can help. Thanks for reading, and stay strong out there. We’re doing this for the community.SolvedGW2 BACKYARD SERVERS

Hi everyone! I’ve been replaying some of the older Plants vs. Zombies games and was wondering — do you think EA might ever bring back a classic-style PvZ game with updated graphics but the same original gameplay? The nostalgia is real, and I miss the simplicity of the first one!Unable to pruchase Plants vs Zombies GOTY
I have noticed recently that I can't purchase Plants vs Zombies GOTY on Steam. I have the suspicion that this game hadn't been properly marked and thus is hidden for people in Germany. SteamDB also doesn't indicate a region lock for Germany. After asking on social media like Reddit and scouring the Steam discussions, I can rule out that this is an issue on my end. I just want to own PvZ GOTY on Steam and I'd love to see it back in the store.PvZ GW2 Private lobbies are basically impossible now?....
Every time I try to invite a friend to a backyard or even a private match lobby in GW2. It never works. I've tried allowing private and public in the firewall settings of my PC. I've tried a VPN... I'm tried changing regions... I've tried literally everything. But the only way that I can seem to play with anybody on this game that are my friends is only multiplayer? Why is that? What is going on with the private lobbies and matches? It's literally impossible to get them to work... Does anybody have an actual answer to this god forsaken problem?
