Latest PvZ: Garden Warfare Update Freezes Consoles and Nerfs Payouts, Fixes Incoming

On the release of Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare’s first DLC, Garden Variety, a new bug appears to affecting the Xbox 360 and Xbox One player base.

According to reports and personal testing, this nasty little bug is causing players on platforms to freeze constantly. Unfortunately, exact problem hasn’t been pinned down. But it seems that the community has been experiencing a high rate of freezing when attempting to load up the Driftwood Shores map on Gardens And Graveyards after the update.

Sadly, the recent update also managed to revert the coins earned per game back to how it was when the game first launched. Buffed payouts were introduced earlier this month in another update.

Thankfully, creative director Justin Weibe has announced that the studio will reverse the payouts back to how they were before the update went live and will be working hard to address the freezing issues.

Update 1

Weibe has updated followers on Twitter, mentioning that the studio is “Narrowing down the issues.”

“Looks like we have a couple server fixes ready to roll out soon. Again thx for your patience.”

Update 2

In another update, Weibe says that “Once the server updates later tonight to fix stability the next step will be to restore the prev patch.”

Update 3

“The Good news is the server fixes have been deployed,” said Weibe in another update. “Bad news is that it didn’t fix all of the issues. We’re still on it!”

Stay tuned for more details, as well as our review of the Garden Variety DLC.
