Ban Exploit / Save Corruption
Subject: Save corruption by a hacker (Level exploit) - Need manual account fix. Message: Hello everyone and EA Community Managers. My EA ID is 3loyKycaka. I am playing Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare on PC via the EA App. Recently, while playing in a public multiplayer match, a hacker used a known exploit to artificially inflate my account's level to over 1,000,000. Because this value exceeds the game's limits, my cloud save is now completely corrupted. Every time I try to join an online match, the game disconnects me from the servers because it cannot process this impossible level. I am unable to play the multiplayer mode of the game I purchased. I have already contacted the standard EA Help live support, but unfortunately, they informed me that they do not have the tools to help me and could not resolve the issue. I am writing here because I know that community managers periodically gather lists of affected accounts and send them to the studio for manual resets or mass unbans. Could you please add my account 3loyKycaka to the list for a manual roll back of my progress or a full reset of my multiplayer stats so that I can play again? I have attached a screenshot of my profile showing the corrupted level. Thank you very much for your time and assistance!The servers in GW2 being destroyed has to be addressed.
As many people in the Garden Warfare community are probably aware, there has been a major rise in hacking in PC lobbies recently. Over the last two weeks, I’ve been swapping from region to region testing Turf Takeover and the Rainbow Portal, and the majority of my games have ended with everyone becoming invisible, low gravity being enabled, players having one health, or the match otherwise being completely ruined. It has now escalated even further. In some matches, the second I spawn in, my character is launched into the skybox and the game becomes completely locked. I can’t click anything, open a menu, or leave normally. The only solution is to Alt-F4 the game. At that point, the multiplayer side of the game is basically unplayable. What makes this so frustrating is that EA and PopCap still sell the game, including during sales, while many new players may have no idea how bad the hacking problem currently is. I’ve seen other players post about these issues too, including concerns about hackers affecting player levels, but there still doesn’t seem to be any clear response or solution. That is a shame, because Garden Warfare 2 is genuinely an amazing game at its core. It has dozens of characters, fun story missions, Garden Ops, Turf Takeover, and a ton of replayability. The wacky Plants vs. Zombies style gives it a personality that very few shooters have. When the game works, it is still one of the most fun multiplayer shooters out there. But in its current state on PC, I can’t recommend it for multiplayer. The hacking situation has made the game unreliable and frustrating, and it makes me more cautious about EA and PopCap products going forward. It also makes me concerned about the future health of the Plants vs. Zombies franchise, especially with PVZ3 on the way, if the existing community is being left in this state.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 🙏PvZ Gw freezes when connecting to EA servers.
When starting the game everything seems normal, but when connecting to EAs servers the game freezes and has to be closes using the task manager. I ve already tried everything i could: uninstalling, logging out, changing my account password, deleting the EA app, repairing it from within the app, but nothing fixes the error.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/ZYqS5AE9n8 Note: Unbanning may take a couple of days depending on the queue, so please be patient. Please help us spread the word!

Thanks for reading, and stay strong out there. We’re doing this for the community.SolvedPvz GW Data Transfer from PS4 to PS5
Today I received my new PS5 and I was about to transfer my game data to it but I realized GW 1 isn’t there or in my cloud data storage on my ps4 for some reason. It’s the only one that isn’t there and does anyone knows how to fix this? I don’t want to lose all my data on it after working hard on locking all the characters and getting even the hardest of achievementsPvz Gw3 possibility??
I know this question has been tossed around many times, and I don’t expect any different answer, but I’m too curious to not try. I absolutely love the GW series. The first two games are a blast. The third one is decent, but understand it didn’t live up to the community’s expectations. But out of curiosity, would you guys consider returning to the BFN series to possibly revive it in the future, making the necessary changes that the community wanted in the first place?? Or even better, maybe a GW3?? I would love the series to go on, and I’m very certain the community would as well. Thanks for taking the time to read :) Have a good one!🌻Plants vs. Zombies Discord Server: A Welcoming Community For All PvZ Fans🧟

I don't understand why EA/PopCap refused to give any love to one of their most beloved franchises under their belt. Not only is there a subpar anti-cheat being added, locking out a portion of the player base while still not protecting players, but the current players can't even 100% the game due to design oversights. If there were any way for them to allow Steam Deck players to have crossplay or cross-save, this game would have a resurgence. We've seen it maintain thousands of players despite the lack of updates, and instead of making a new game or fixing the old one, they let it slowly get taken over by cheaters while they release another AI-generated remaster of your childhood game, and they can't even include the minigames across the various versions of Plants vs. Zombies. Really, what is EA/PopCap thinking? I can't be the only one with these thoughts.
