Cannot connect to EA servers - Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare

[k1w1zombie]

Hi all,

We just got Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare. It worked earlier today...connected to the EA server. Even downloaded an update but now it won't connect to the EA server. Re-started the router/modem and console but still no luck! What do we do now? Any help would be much appreciated.

Xbox 360, 250 gb

Had same issue, unable to connect to EA servers. Turned out to be the date and time on my console was set in manual to the Wrong Date and Time. Changed the clock to automatic internet settings and voila it connected. This is because the the date and time doesn't fall into the time frame of the servers security certificate and will not let you connect (its a website security thing).

Servers are down for updates they will be up soon (PC is back up)

It would be nice if JUST one aspect of the game could be played without needing to connect to a server. We bought the game for our son's birthday...what a disappointment. Poor kid is heartbroken he can't play his new present.

Have the exact same problem.... I hope the servers will be back up again soon....

Thanks for giving some answers!

Yeah a campaign would be fun to play, thats the one problem with this game, nothing to do when the servers are down.

Though the update will be bringing out new DLC allowing your child to do even more stuff when the servers are back up

The new DLC Suburbination will include

1. "New" gold and diamond studded accessories
2. New map - Crash Course
3. New mode - Suburbination
4. New character - Plasma Pea
5. New Garden Ops bosses - Vampire and Treasure Yeti

please check your network connection and try again later  !!!!!!!   mileymad:

If servers are down for updates,  why i need to check network connections ?????

cant you just write server is under maintenance ?

why you push people to make network restart over and over again and  spend time for several hours ?

Well to be fair there has been a notice on the main menu either way xbox one and PC are finished only 360 to go

That's great, except mine says the servers are still down for Xbox One nearly a day later.  Typical broken EA software.

@moloko5 

Are you still unable to connect? The servers are currently up.

The Xbox One servers were taken down to apply the latest DLC, then again later to apply a fix, is it possible you've managed to catch both of the downtimes?
