Default Game Running Slow

This thread is reporting problems with the game running slow.
Please read the following information before posting in this thread.

Things that are known to cause the game to run slower:
  • Not keeping up with doing updates on your computer. Always do any software updates and any driver updates showing.
  • Browsers not up to date, or too many caches stored.
  • Too many animals on a farm (not in buildings)
  • Overlapping/layering of crops, the more that are overlapped, the more you have to load.
  • Other types of layering (for example: trees/flowers/buildings on top of crops)
  • Having multiple tabs open or a lot of background programs running can slow the game down.
  • Your internet may also run slower at certain times of the day depending on usage etc.
  • Having more than one farm town account opened on the same computer.
  • Browser problems.
  • Farm Town Server problems.
  • Game updates.

What you can do to speed up the game:
  • If your farms are too slow to load because they have too many *different* items or because of a slow internet connection, try enabling the 'Compressed Graphics' option in the Preferences screen. The graphics will have a bit less quality but will load faster.
    1. Click on the preferences icon top right of your game screen.
    2. Add the check mark for Compressed Graphics.
    3. You will see a popup with information.
    4. Click on the green check mark on that popup.
    5. Then also click on the green check mark at the bottom of the preferences window to save your changes.
    6. Reload Farm Town.

  • Reduce the number of animals running loose on the farm.
  • Remove layering of items on top of crops
  • Remove overlapped crops
  • Try and keep to a minimum the number of tabs you have open and background programs running.
  • When doing farm work for yourself or others, try only showing the items you are working on at the time. Reduce to only showing crops, trees, flowers, ponds.
  • If a farm is very slow to load then try only showing the item you are working on, then hide those and show the next item to be worked.


This thread is for players to report problems only. Any off topic posts will be removed by a moderator without notice to the user.
