Battlefield 5 Update: New Map and Upcoming Weapons

Based in World War II, Battlefield 5 was released in 2018 with eight maps initially and other plans for later on. A recent trailer announced a new map named “Mercury” to be updated for free into the game at the end of this month on 30th of May. It will be part of chapter 3 of Battlefield 5’s Tides of War live service.

Electronic Arts teased us with Mercury right after the launch, however just now we are able to get a clear idea of what this new map is all about. It will be located in on the gorgeous coast of Crete Island, in Greece and is inspired by the real events of Operation Mercury in 1941. Following the historical facts the two factions will be Germany and the United Kingdom.

What is new about the gameplay of this map is that the forces are quite unbalanced, the Germans will be controlling the sky with their fighter planes while the British will dominate the grounds with their tanks. Of course, the Brits will also have an air force however much smaller than the one belonging to the German faction.

With its rough and spiky cliffs and the verticality of the map, it seems that the play style resembles the one from Battlefield1’s Monte Grappa or Battlefield’s 4 Altai Range. Big vehicles and air support will be of considerable importance when defending or attacking objectives as well as having very strong fortifications.

Comparing with other maps is a “medium-large” map and watching the trailer you get the vibes of a “moderate to fast” intense battle tempo. In fact the trailer got very good feedbacks from gamers who got excited and motivated by it and said that the map reminded them older Battlefield maps and that they will return to the game.

Plants vs Zombies: Character Data Reverts to Level 1

Is your character data reverting to level 1 on Plants vs Zombies game? Don’t panic ! This short tutorial will show you how to resolve the issue, if and when character data reverts to level 1 in Plants vs. Zombies.

A number of Plants vs. Zombies gamers have complained of an issue relating to character data display. For instance, the character data reverts and display “Level 1”, even after getting past the first stage.

If you are a victim of this error, you can follow through this tutorial to resolve the issue.

Fix: Character Data Reverts to Level 1 in Plants vs. Zombies

Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare (1) is a top-end multiplatform video game from American gaming developer – PopCap Games – in collaboration with software development giant – Electronic Arts (EA). The game’s main characters are Crazy Dave (David Blazing) – the protagonist – and Doctor Zomboss (Doctor Edgar George Zomboss) – the chief antagonist.

Character data on Plants vs. Zombies is displayed, by default, as “Level-1”, irrespective of the level you are. However, most gamers (especially the new players) are ignorant of this; hence, when such players get past the first level and the character data is still showing “Level 1”, it often creates some form of panic (where there is none).

If you find yourself in this situation, you need not panic; the issue is neither a bug nor an error, but rather a cloud syncing issue, which can easily be resolved within seconds. To resolve it, and set the character data as appropriate, try either or both of the solutions below:

Solution 1: Connect to Electronic Arts’ Origin Service

By default, character data on Plants vs. Zombies is saved and synced to the cloud. And to gain access to this data, you need to be signed into EA’s Origin service.

Therefore, if your character data keeps showing up as “Level 1”, simply connect to EA’s (Electronic Arts) cloud storage (where the data is saved) by signing into the franchise’s Origin service.

Solution 2: Relaunch Plants vs. Zombies

The first solution may require you to restart the game (after connecting to the EA service), before the issue is resolved. Hence, if, after signing into the EA service, the character data still reverts to Level 1, simply close the game and relaunch it. That should do it!

Plants vs Zombies: Stuck in Empty Tutorial Level

Plants vs Zombies is no doubt one of the most interesting games out there. And despite the fact that it’s been around for quite some time, it is still generating so much excitement in the gaming world.

However, till today, there is a preliminary level on the game that most new players are often confused about. This stage is known as the “Empty Tutorial” level, which most beginners are practically clueless how to get past.

To get past this stage, follow through this tutorial.

How to Break Out of the Empty Tutorial Level in Plants vs. Zombies

At times, as a beginner (or even a Pro) on Plants vs. Zombies, you may find yourself stuck in a stage (level) where you are unable to connect with other players. At this stage, you are still able to play the game; selecting base characters and shooting straying zombies. If you find yourself at this level, do not fret; you are actually at the game’s “Empty Tutorial” level, which is just like a trial stage or demo level.

Normally, this stage, as a tutorial level, is meant to show you what to expect on the actual game; it is not an actual level of the game itself. The “Empty Tutorial” level is mainly activated due to incomplete installation or while an update is still in progress. In either case, you get stuck at the level, with practically no idea how to break out.

To get past this level, try either or both of the solution below:

  • Allow Update or Installation to Finish

To break out of this stage and proceed to play the actual game, all you have to do is WAIT for the update to complete (if one is in progress). Also, if the game is still installing, check if the installation is complete; if not, WAIT for it to complete. Consequently, you’d be proceeded to the main menu.

  • Reinstall the Game

If you’re still stuck at the Empty Tutorial level, you can uninstall the game completely: go to Settings > Apps > Plants vs. Zombies > Uninstall (on Android) and uninstall the program. After successfully uninstallation, go to Google Play Store (for Android) or App Store (for iOS) and reinstall the game. This time, ensure the game is fully installed (at 100%) before launching it. And you are all set!

To get your game back up (and running), this tutorial will show you a number of solutions to resolve the issue.

Fix: Plants vs. Zombies Won’t Start

If this game fails to start on your computer/smartphone or it hangs up/freezes while you are playing it, a number of factors could be in play. Normally, when this happens, the cause could be a connection issue, unfinished update, unsuccessful game resume or a combination of some/all these.

Plants vs. Zombies was originally developed for Windows and macOS, before extending support to other desktop and mobile operating platforms. To fix the issue, if/when the game fails to start up on your computer, you can “hard reboot” your PC to reset/refresh the system and apps (including the Plants vs. Zombies game).

To hard reboot PC:

  • Restart PC.
  • Try launching the game again and check if the error is fixed.

Hard rebooting your PC would refresh the computer and all running apps and processes. This should resolve the issue.

In the same vein, you can try this method on your smartphone; by pressing down the power button until the phone is powered down, and then powering it up again.

  1. Disconnect & Reconnect Xbox One

If this error occurs on Xbox One, simply power down the console and disconnect it. After a few seconds, plug it back in and power it back on. This should get the game up and running again, without any issue.

  1. Reinstall the Game

Ultimately, if the error persists after trying the aforementioned fixes, you can reinstall the game on your computer or smartphone. Simply uninstall it from your device and reinstall it from designated sites like Play Store (for Android users).
