If any questions or things to try feel free to contact me only to willing to help out
Hi Robert,
What were you doing when this happened?
When you clear the browser cache it will be slow reloading the game because it has to download all the graphics again.


Instead of clearing the cache, try just resarting the browser first and see if that will reopen your farms. Also you can try restarting your computer and see if that will clear the WebGL not supported message and allow your game to reload.

Thanks for the reply

The game does reload slightly slower after the cache clean and then goes to my farms first,

At the time it was acting up with the black screen I was hired by another farmer from the market place and was doing lets a huge lot of layered fishing I one or to lines of it done then suddenly black screen esc gives an unhappy face. I have also tried restarting my pc and it seems to poersist.

I have checked the browser for webgl and get this

Graphics Feature Status
Canvas: Hardware accelerated
Compositing: Hardware accelerated
Multiple Raster Threads: Enabled
Out-of-process Rasterization: Hardware accelerated
OpenGL: Enabled
Rasterization: Hardware accelerated
Skia Renderer: Enabled
Video Decode: Hardware accelerated
Vulkan: Disabled
WebGL: Hardware accelerated
WebGL2: Hardware accelerated

Also went to the webgl site links and get a floating box for either link.

I have a weird idea the heavy layered fishing has something to do with it as I have been doing layered crops, flower, trees with no issues.

I can provide more info if needed anytime

Hi Robert,
Yes the heavily layer fish did have something to do with this. Specially if there are other things such as trees, flowers and/or crops layered over them. The WebGL support message is because of the farm freezing up and the game thinks WebGL is not responding so it pops up that message.
The only thing I can suggest is to turn off anything you do not need when you are hired in your preferences. That may lighten the load on your computer.

Hi Margpurple,
I am sorry, but I don't think that computer is going to work for playing Farm Town. This game is too complex for that computer with only 2GB of memory and the processor it has.
