Am I The Only 1 Who Is Experiencing Mic Issues In GW1 On PC...? 🤨🤔🙄🤦♂️😒
Well, guys, the title says it in a nutshell, but I should provide a little more details, which I'm going to right now... 👇 As of a few days ago, my mic is no longer showing up in GW1, & for that matter, the same goes for other people I have noticed who are in the same session as me. I have done some troubleshooting of my own, in case any of y'all are wondering: things like trying to repair both the EA App, AND the game itself, making sure my mic works fine in Windows --(Which it totally does. I have verified that myself a few times.)--, also validating that I have ALL the latest updates & drivers installed (Which I do.), no issues with file integrity, or infections... The list could go on, but needless to say, I was QUITE thorough, which I make it a point to be, since I can be rather fussy about keeping things working properly, & that certain things function the way I expect them too, which includes software. It was rather disappointing to see that despite my best efforts, it didn't help, even though I'm fairly tech-savvy. Before this even happened, things were perfectly fine, but I can only theorize that maybe this is a weird glitch of sorts? 🤔🤷♂️ However, I still WOULD like to know if anyone else out there has noticed, & been experiencing this same issue, or if someone knows something. And while on this part of the subject, if it IS a glitch, then I sincerely hope that someone on the EA support/development/maintenance team can look into this, get the issue resolved. 🤞 If any of you happen to need more details, or wish to know anything else, be sure to ask, & I'll get right back with you. Thanks in advance to whomever can help! 🙏🙇♂️😊
DO NOT SHUTDOWN GW1 ON PS3!
I am going to begin this with a very obvious point, This game is most likely the best version of garden warfare to play in 2026, The lobby’s are full there’s a active player base in every game mode during any hour of the day. So this begs the question why do it to the PS3 version? Some may say “vulnerability” during my whole 5 years of playing this game on my ps3 console I’ve experienced 2 hackers each time all I did was report them: Then never saw them again. I never experienced problems with people supposedly grabbing IP’s as all they have are internal ones. That can’t do anything without being on my Network. besides this is a kids game and most people who do mess around with cheats play once and get bored since it’s a KIDS game. With this being one of the most active ps3 games and an experience not only for me but everyone! Especially children in less fortunate areas who want to turn to play a mid friendly game just for it to be shut down soon. Just pathetic anyone lets starts a protest against it on these forums and social media. #SAVEGW1PS3Keep PlantsVsZombies Garden Warfare online on the PS3
Even now, 12 years after release you can jump in and find people playing, full lobbies, and that same magic that made us fall in love with the game in the first place. It’s still so active, and it feels like we’re losing a home. What hurts the most is that we haven’t really been told why. It feels like the plug is being pulled on us without any real explanation or a fair chance to show you how much we still care about this game. Please, don't just erase all these years of memories. If there’s any way to keep the servers running, or at least give us a clear reason why this is happening, the community deserves that much. We aren't ready to let go of GW1. Please listen to your players. We're still here and we're still playing. #SAVEGW1PS3KEEP PVZ GW1 ON PS3!

For context It's the only way a lot of people can play the game. Not to mention, it's still active that you can find full lobbies of Gardens & Graveyards and Team Vanquish, and sometimes other modes. Please EA, consider revising this shutdown.
Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 1 will be shutdown on April 28, 2026 on PS3.
I'll be honest, I think this is a mistake. It's very strange that they decided to do this on the PS3 because Garden Warfare 1 on PS3 is still an extremely active game even today in 2026. (Not to mention that, unlike the Xbox 360 version, you can still buy things since the store is still active.) Whenever I logged in, I could find full lobbies with people, some even using voice chat every day. I'd even say there are more people playing GW1 on PS3 than on PS4, Xbox 360/One, and heck, even more than GW2 on PC. I even got the PS3 version to get the platinum trophy last year: https://x.com/i/status/1889893304600502681 I think this marks the beginning of the end for Garden Warfare 1. The PS3 version was definitely the most active; I don't see people abandoning GW2 or BFN on PS4/Xbox One/PC to go back to GW1, and there simply aren't many people on Xbox 360 these days.
PvZ GW2 on PC once again unplayable due to influx of hackers
As some of you are aware, Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2 just turned 10 years old. The celebration that happened yesterday ended up attracting the attention of many hackers on the PC platform, who had made it so that every lobby was unplayable (everyone in the lobby would have 1hp and be invisible). This effectively made multiplayer not an option for anyone playing on PC and locked a major portion of the content of the game away. Multiple people have also gotten outright “banned” due to a leveling exploit applied to someone’s EA account that has been previously done before. It is not known exactly how this is done on such a scale like this, but it overall has ruined the PC platform’s experience as we know it. Popcap Vancouver is no longer in service, this I know. They don’t have the team they did before to be able to uphold the game to the degree they did before. But at the same time, PvZ GW2 is a game that is still sold, still offered as a functioning product, and still enjoyed by thousands. EA, something, anything, needs to be done about this.
