Supporting Linux would help revive Plants Vs Zombies saga
Hello EA team, I’m a long-time Plants vs. Zombies fan and I’m really happy to hear that the team wants to revive the PvZ saga. However, I find it disappointing that Garden Warfare 1, Graden Warfare 2 and Battle for Neighborville are still not playable on Linux, even though Linux gaming has grown a lot in recent years thanks to Steam Deck and Proton. Many multiplayer games now work perfectly on Linux with minimal changes, but PvZ GW and BFN are blocked due to anti-cheat or launcher limitations. This prevents a growing number of players from joining the community. If the goal is to bring more players back, supporting Linux (or at least Proton compatibility) would be a great step forward and would help increase the active player base at no extra cost for new platforms. I hope the team can consider this feedback. PvZ deserves a bigger and more inclusive community. Thank you for your time.PvZ Garden Warfare 1 — Proposal for a Low-Cost F2P Pilot (90 Days)
Hello, I would like to propose a realistic and low-risk opportunity regarding Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 1. GW1 is a fully amortized title with active servers and a nostalgic player base, but currently no recent data exists to evaluate its real market potential in today’s ecosystem. Proposal (Low Risk Pilot): Make Garden Warfare 1 Free-to-Play for a limited 90-day test No new content No gameplay changes No heavy development Minimal Live Ops support only Objective: Collect real engagement and monetization data: DAU / MAU Player retention Server activity Cosmetic conversion rate Why this makes sense: Infrastructure already exists Development cost is minimal Positive community and brand perception Clear, data-driven decision after 90 days This pilot would allow EA to objectively reassess the PvZ Shooter license with very limited financial risk and could serve as a gateway for future decisions. Thank you for considering this proposal. EA_Shepard EA_CathPVZGW 1 PS3 CHEATERS ISSUE
A month ago, someone posted a video on their YouTube channel showing cheats for Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare on PS3. This channel contains multiple videos about cheats for games published by EA, and this is not the first time. Our community is no longer asking for radical measures against cheaters, but at least for some action: blocking cheaters’ accounts or taking action against the YouTube channel that promotes cheating. This is within EA’s authority and could help reduce the number of cheaters, especially on older consoles. Please report this channel. The YouTube username is: [Removed - CM] I have also attached a video showing what cheaters do to the game. This video is not mine and only demonstrates a small part of the cheats being used. Please, EA, save PVZGW.SolvedCheaters with the MK Tag in Their Nicknames
Hello, I would like to report individuals with the MK tag who have been using cheats for a long time. Despite numerous attempts to file complaints, there has been no effective resolution. They are utilizing cheats such as immortality, super speed, and the ability to use skills without cooldown. Their actions significantly disrupt the gameplay experience for all players in Garden Warfare. Discussions about them are even taking place on non-Russian GW & GW2 servers. I kindly request that you pay attention to this situation within the game. Thank you for your understanding. Here are their usernames: GoodNea, MK_MortisGuro, rluis1984, RD_MK_AX46, MK_slime_loldddd, MK_bosin70k, MK_DEMONIK_MK2, MK_Tarelka, MK_Bobrovski15, ItsMeM4Th1aS, MK_feveretefa, 4517b8f7c2892c8c, ID_JKkM8, EvilNea, TumX331.Verification issue “Continue” persists
Nearly a day a half later still cannot verify and play my long awaited game from years ago, this issue is bothering me for one I paid PlayStation plus just to get access to the ea servers which is an annoyance on my bill, another is downloading the game and being met with the verifying phase. My email is lined up my code has a green checkmark. When pressing x on continue as well as using the d pad to go down nothing works. Fix this please 🙏Community Request for a Dedicated PvZ Console Team
Hello EA PopCap Vancouver team, I hope you are doing well. I am writing on behalf of many long-time Plants vs. Zombies players to express a respectful community request. Over the years, the PvZ franchise on consoles has built a very loyal and passionate player base, especially around titles like Garden Warfare and Battle for Neighborville. Today, a large part of the community feels that the console side of PvZ lacks long-term support and visibility. Many players would love to see a renewed focus on PvZ console experiences, with a dedicated team that could maintain, improve, and potentially evolve the franchise on these platforms. This message is not a complaint, but a genuine expression of interest and support. There is still strong demand, active engagement, and nostalgia around PvZ on consoles. With the right attention, the community strongly believes the franchise could thrive again. Thank you for your time and for everything you have created with Plants vs. Zombies. We truly appreciate the work of PopCap and hope PvZ on consoles can have a future once again. Kind regards, A dedicated Plants vs. Zombies console player (on behalf of the PvZ console community)Any Future?
Hi EA, I know you get posts like these asking for GW3 or remaster of the older games. My question is wondering if there are any new installments on the PVZ franchise separate from the mobile audience. While I understand that mobile users are making you a lot of money, I think a new fully fledged game with the resources you have for console/PC without any advertised paid transactions (PVZ2) for easier progression (like garden warfare series but it doesn't have to be a shooter). That could be sold for a flat price for players to get full experience (assuming no DLC). And we all know the stereotype of "greedy EA", I think a fully fledged PVZ game that isn't catered for the younger/mobile audience and more focused on loyal fans that have been fans for the creativity and joy that people had with the older games. We see this work time and time again that lead to major profits for companies that make sequels/new games in their personal style that sets them apart from the rest with no catering towards mobile and micro-transactions to make a quick buck. All the community wants is a real game to play with the characters and world that we grew up with. I write out of hope respect (I know that this is a long shot and if you see this there is nothing you can really do) for all of EA and their employees, if nothing happens, nothing happens. Thanks for the memories OWL P.S. PVZ Heros is very thankful for the updates :)Unban 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.SolvedEa, please fix your anti cheat for garden warfare 2
Hi, Jynxzi have recently brung a lot of new players to the game (I just bought the game on pc actually plays on console so ingnore the low level) It is very sad to see a hacker in a full lobby with almost only new player, the anti cheat you added is lacking. The new players will probably get a bad impression of the game when hackers ruin the game. In this case is it a pizza chomper that is complety immortal. Please arrange someone to look into this! Thanks. See the pictures below for proof.Any plans for a Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 1 & 2 Remastered?
Hi there, I love PVZGW1 & 2. I would like to know if EA and PopCap plan to remaster either game. I don't want them to discontinue the franchise! Maybe a remastered version which combines both GW1 & 2 into one game? One where players have a setting option to play a gamemode which could alternate between GW1 & 2 or just one of the two. For example, in Gardens & Graveyards (gamemode set to alternate), the first round would be on a GW1 map (can only play the original GW1 classes and characters), then the second round would be on a GW2 map (can play any class and character from GW2).
