This document is targeted at Jiangnan Game PvZ2 Pak 2020.2 Chinese New Year version.

Thank you for downloading this pak.
Double click [PlantsVsZombies.exe] to start the game. Hope this pak will extend your game experience.


Some known bugs and solutions for this version:

1. I can't start the game on Windows XP. It simply gives no response.

Sol: Currently the BGM extension module { including bass.dll (modified), bass_b_2.dll, lawnbgm(*).mp3 and debug.txt (generated when starting) } doesn't support Windows XP. Please delete the all the files listed above, copy [bass.dll (original)] from [extra] folder to the game root directory, and then try starting the game again.

2. I can start the game, but it crashes just before the progress bar begins to load.

Sol: As the program file in this version has been modified, on some machines the game would crash because of memory access problem. Please copy [PvZLauncher.exe] from [extra] folder to the game root directory and try starting it. ([PvZLauncher.exe] will start [PlantsVsZombies] and try to fix it in background. After that it will exit automatically.)

p.s. This issue has been raised since the update on June 21, 2019. In that version it could be triggered when planting a producing plant (because we added producing animation for them). Theoretically the launcher also works for those versions.

p.p.s As only one user contacted us so far, the launcher hasn't gone through extensive tests. Please don't hesitate to give us feedback if you encounter this issue. Many thanks!


3. The BGS often conflicts with my other pak's.

Sol: The sounds of PvZ will be cached to the following directory:
For Win7 and above: "C:\ProgramData\PopCap Games\PlantsVsZombies\cached\sounds"
For Win XP: "GAME_FOLDER\cached\sounds"
Delete that folder and its contents and restart the game to enjoy the BGS in your pak.

4. How to transplant this pak to other modified versions of PvZ?

Sol: You can't do that directly. We don't provide a transplantable version of this pak.

5. Other bugs:

About BGM: Try Sol 1.
About BGS: Try Sol 3.
The game crashed frequently: Try Sol 2.
In case that the bug still exists, please send us feedback, describe the process to reproduce the bug with your Windows version and pak version.
