Dear Development Team of Plants vs. Zombies International Version:
The following is an AI translation due to my limited English proficiency; some inaccuracies may exist.As a loyal Chinese player, I have had a lot of fun while playing the game. At the same time, I have also found some areas that can be optimized, and I hope to contribute my ideas to the further improvement of the game. 【We really, really need these optimizations! It should be appropriately centered on users. Thank you very much for taking the time to read my feedback. I look forward to continuous improvements in the future to bring a more excellent experience to users. Thank you!】 Bugs that need priority handling In Plants vs. Zombies 1 HD for iPadOS, I encountered such an issue: when entering the game with an internet connection, it crashes and fails to launch. I have to disconnect from the network first to enter the game, then reconnect to the internet to play. In the iPadOS version of Plants vs. Zombies 1 HD, I encountered another problem: under a stable network connection, the data of the unlocked "Diamond Beghouler" achievement and "Smashin" achievement are saved locally, but they can never be automatically synced to the Apple server. As a result, these two achievements are shown as unlocked in the local game but remain in the "unlocked" state in the achievement list of this game in Apple Game Center. I have tried two solutions: first, recreating the game account; second, uninstalling the game, reinstalling it, and playing from the beginning. However, even if I unlock these two achievements again in a stable network environment, the relevant data still cannot be synced to the Apple server. I have contacted Apple customer service before, and they said they couldn't solve the problem and suggested that I contact the game developer. It's worth noting that all achievements in the iPhone version of PvZ 1 can be synced to the Apple server normally, and in the iPad version of PvZ 1 HD, all other achievements except the two mentioned above can also be synced normally. Therefore, I judge that this problem may be caused by the software itself, not by Apple. 【If you don't quite understand the content of the description, you can refer to the attached photo!】 In the Android and iOS versions of Plants vs. Zombies 1, issues such as lag, frame drops may occur after connecting to the Internet, and problems like missing music and sound effects may appear after watching ads. In the iOS version of Plants vs. Zombies 1, there is an error in the display of an achievement icon on Apple's server: Apple's server incorrectly displays the icon of "The Stuff Of Legends" achievement as that of the "Smashing" achievement. 【If you don't quite understand the content of the description, you can refer to the attached photo!】 I. System Adaptation and Interface Optimization New Perspective Options It is recommended to provide three visual effect options for all game interfaces: "Ultra-high Perspective", "High Perspective", and "Low Perspective". Different players have different needs for the display of game screens: the high perspective allows players to obtain more comprehensive battlefield information, while the low perspective may focus more on local battles, meeting different strategic planning and visual preferences. Multi-language Adaptation Currently, there are a large number of players from different countries and regions in the international version, especially a huge Chinese player group. To meet the needs of global players, it is recommended to add support for multiple languages, such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Hindi, Malay, etc. This can not only eliminate language barriers, enable players to better understand the game content and instructions, but also significantly enhance the game's attractiveness and competitiveness in the international market and promote the globalization development of the game. Suggestions on Promoting the Ecological Layout of the Whole Platform Currently, the Huawei HarmonyOS Next system has enormous market potential. It is recommended to prioritize the in-depth adaptation of products to the mobile and PC ends of this system. At the same time, a cross-platform cloud data interconnection system should be constructed to comprehensively cover mainstream operating systems and devices such as Apple (iOS, iPadOS, macOS, visionOS, tvOS), Huawei (HarmonyOS),Google (Android, Android TV), and Microsoft (Windows x86, Windows x64, Windows Arm). By achieving real-time synchronization of data such as game progress, saves, and personalized settings, the barriers to device switching can be eliminated, creating a seamless gaming experience for users, and further improving user retention rate and brand competitiveness. II. Visual Effect Optimization Solve the Problem of Darkened Color When Shadows Overlap When the shadows of multiple zombies or plants overlap, the color of the shadows will be darkened, which affects the beauty and visual effect of the game screen. It is recommended to fix this problem so that the shadows maintain a normal color display when overlapping, making the game screen clearer and more natural, and presenting a better visual experience for players. Handling of Obstacles After Level Victory When the level is won, all obstacles, such as tombstones, arcade game machines, ice blocks, etc., should automatically break and disappear. This can make the game interface cleaner, highlight the players' sense of achievement after victory, and also make more clear preparations for the next game, improving the players' gaming experience and feelings. III. Optimization of Game Operation and Functions In the accelerated state, the duration of the item "Mallet" does not shorten In the accelerated state within a level, the duration of using the item "Mallet" will not decrease due to the acceleration effect, which makes the player's experience of using the item "Mallet" during acceleration more in line with reasonable logic.
Needing to reactivate my license?
So, I've had Plants vs Zombies 1 for the past year now and recently a day or two ago I tried to play it again and when launching the game, a prompt appeared telling me to reactivate my license or buy it again since it's not on my EA account even though the game is clearly displayed in my library and the only game I own is there any way to fix this as support page has not given me any leads and I don't want to buy the game again.
How can you play GotY Edition on a Windows 11?
I am a Steam user of Plants vs. Zombies GotY Edition, and simply, I don't play on a newer device, knowing it's a 32-bit app. However, I have heard that some users can play with little issue on a Windows 11, which makes me question, is there a difference between performance of EA copies and Steam copies?
