Plants vs Zombies Unsupported on Steam Deck and Steam Machine? I Think Not! Last time I checked, this game was in a Playable rating on Steam Compatibility Review but now it's Unsupported and I think I know the reason why. The game lags heavily on the Seed Selection screen and it is not a Steam Deck problem. I think this is the reason why Valve just decided to demote Plants vs Zombies from Playable to Unsupported. Fortunately, there is a fix to actually solve this problem. Just follow these three simple steps: 1. First, go to this github link and download the PlantsVsZombies.exe https://github.com/DJZK/popcap-patches/blob/master/popcap-games/plants-vs-zombies-goty/no-drm/PlantsVsZombies.exe 2. Second, Go to Plants Vs Zombies folder and delete its original PlantsVsZombies.exe executable file. (You can also backup the original file if you want. It's up to you) 3. Finally, move your downloaded PlantsVsZombies.exe to the game's folder. That's it! The game is now fixed and it doesn't lag anymore on the Seed Selection screen. BONUS TIP You can make the game slightly looks better by enabling the sharpess filter on your Steam Deck. Just follow these steps: 1. Go to game settings and UNCHECK Fullscreen option 2. In the Quick Access Menu of the Steam Deck, go to Performance -> Advanced View -> Scaling Options and choose Stretch 3. Still on the Quick Access Menu, on the Scaling Filter enable Sharpness and choose between 3 or 5 it's up to you

EA and brapcap don't even know how to remaster 2009 2d mobile games without bloating filesizes, using ai and introducing 6 gorillion new issues that never even existed in the original (and obviously charging more money for it) just get this instead, pvz replanted is soulless digital slop

This is THE definitive version. Cheap, no ads. I tried the app store version and all it did was show me ads and steal my data.

The classic game everyone loves, without the AI upscaling from Replanted, without the ads and pay-to-play- ish features from the mobile port. Active modding community and generally an amazing game from our childhoods. If I could give this a double thumbs up, I would.

PLEASE get this instead of replanted, the additional content of replanted isn't worth the 20$ price tag when a great majority of what original PvZ is can be bought for only 5$, less than that if on sale.
