Garden Warfare 2 on PS4 Not Connecting During "Regular" Hours

[andrewwinters94]

I guess this is an odd question but this is the best place to ask. I recently purchased Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2 for PS4. This game requires an internet connection even to play single player modes, and works great if I play during the bonus bytes period. But if I try to connect after 8 AM I get an error message saying that I'm signed out of Playstation Network. No other games or apps have this issue so it's definitely just the game and I believe it's when it connects to the EA (publisher) servers.

Does anyone else own the game and have this issue? Does anyone know what might help? To summarize again, basically it just isn't touching base with the server that it needs to to work unless I'm playing during the bonus byte hours.

Hi Andrew,

Welcome and thanks for posting. I wish we could test that out ourselves here, but we haven't a copy of PvZ:GW 2...or a PS4 for that matter. My guess is once more HughesNet subscribers start getting online during the Anytime Bytes period, that may be affecting your performance.

I can see where you're coming from, but surely if that were the case then a Saturday morning would have more traffic than a random school/work day afternoon, right? Do you happen to know if there's any sort of change between performance during the bonus and regular times? Negating running out of GBs, of course.

Your mileage may vary. There could be a change, but there could not. A lot of factors, many of which are out of our hands, can play into system performance.

Ok, well I appreciate the response. Maybe someone else happens to have had the same issue and knows a good time or if something else is the issue. Thanks again!

You're welcome, I hope someone who has the game can offer some insight; wish I could've been of more help.
