Hi,
I have 2 profiles and play both of them on 2 devices. Until recently, they are always in sync. This is Android NA version. I don't know if they have the same player ID as I've never checked it before. At that time, all I need to do is to log into Google Play Games and the profile will just appear with the synced progress.
A few weeks ago, the game crashed on one device and it asked me to create new profile when I start it again. I checked the second device and the profiles are also lost. There is no icon to log into Google Play Games. Luckily, I was had a very old copy of the android/data/com.ea.game.pvz2_na and sent to EA help. They were able to restore them.
Now, I have 2 different player ID, 1 on each device. And I found the profile progress are out of sync b/w 2 devices.
What is the best way to keep them in sync? Should I just copy that pp.dat from 1 device to the other? Will they create conflict and cause me to lose progress again?
Thanks

I did a quick experiment. Copy pp.data from one device to a new one. I can see the progress is restored to the point when pp.dat is copied. However, the 2 devices are not in sync. Progress on device 1 will not show up on the new device. Vice versa.

Forgot to say. Copying pp.dat does not carry the same player ID. Each device has its own.
