The 1.0.1.0 Patch was a patch for Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare released on July 21st, 2014. The patch mostly fixed bugs and added minor features while nerfing the then considered overpowered Berry Shooter.
Patch[]
The first major PC Patch is finally upon us! We debated getting some quick fixes out right away vs trying to get the PC up to parity with Xbox platforms with regards to features, playlists, game modes and decided to go for the latter. So, thank you all very much for your patience while we put this together! We hope it was worth the wait.

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed several stability issues/crashes.
- Fixed inability to select other users in leaderboard with mouse.
- Fixed inability to mouse over sticker packs when cancelling a coin purchase at Garden Ops End of Round.
- Fixed CPU/GPU spike when shooting on crossfire video cards.
- Fixed gesture selection bar when switching from mouse to controller.
- Fixed loss of input when cancelling a pop-up with the controller in the Garden Ops Lobby.
- Fixed crash closing Coin Purchase Pop-Up.
- Black screen that sometimes appears at end of round has been fixed.
- Character select screen had some specific audio missing.
- Number of revives was not accurately displaying the correct number of revives at the end of round.
- Removed ability to change grayed out selections that should not have been selectable in options menu.
- Scroll wheel now properly scrolls selection in gestures menu.
Gameplay Tuning:
- Berry Shooter - The explosion blast radius and damage have both been reduced. We’ve also adjusted the size of the explosion VFX to better match its effective range. With these changes, the Berry Pea is still a strong splash-based character, but more precise aiming will be required.
