PopCap and EA have already made it clear it's aware of the problems, stating, "We definitely have noticed/are seeing comments about crashing right now. We're currently investigating & will update when we have a solution."
"If you've questions about server downtimes, tech issues or support questions, head to our Answers HQ forum for help," said another statement from the company.
Last week, PopCap suffered what it called "necessary" and "painful" layoffs, although it is thought that the Garden Warfare team was unaffected.
