New Release -- September 26th, 2015

[Snookie Sue]

Something has just happened and things may even be speedier than before. Thanks so much for all your hard work in resolving this. I just did flowers and trees on my super neighbor's farm in record time (especially the flower farms that are usually such a pain) and then went home looking to shake some trees. The ones I found ready were done in no time. Thanks so much again. :) :) :)

[Shellgirlmtl]

Feedback on last update (Oct 8:25pm)... Harvesting/chopping trees back to normal, maybe even faster but that could be just my mind playing tricks on me since it was so bad... harvesting/planting crops back to normal... cursor no longer delayed jumping around... everything seems to be back to normal except switching tools... that action still has a delay before it catches on...

Knew you'd come thru... Thank you thank you thank you... :D

[tnbskts]

The "add to animal building" feature doesn't seem to be working. Clicking on it just makes all the animals disappear.

[TheWheezer]

the problems with dragging and such seems to be worse using Chrome than with Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer - Oct 21 at 12:01 am

Hi tnbskts,
Just to clarify this is it the store animals from the gift box or from storage?
Which farm is this you were trying to add animals and what kind?

Post-Release Updates - October 20th, 8:25PM

Known Issues

- We detected more scenarios with slowness specially with trees and flowers, we are working on a solution.


Hi, I've just noticed that I can't highlight my train at all, thought you ought to know.

Plus....thanks so much to Raul and the team for all the work they've done and continue to do in sorting out the mess that Flash has caused.

Hi peekachoo,
Others have reported this too and then when they go back and restart their farms it works. If it still doesn't try clearing your memcache (link below), then when the page of unsetting text opens close it and your farm, then clear your browser cache and close your browser. Reopen and try again.

Funnily enough I was clearing the memcache as you were posting that Taz,lol.

However I did it again from your link, but it hasn't worked. I can't open the train at all, but no worries, I will clear it again later and try again, perhaps the gremlins will have disappeared by then. Thanks for the response.

Edit: I've just turned on the facilities, then turned them off and some are still showing, so that's another weird thing going on here.

Hi tnbskts,

Animals from the gift box and also animals being purchased.

The "Move" button that moves animals directly from storage to the animal buildings is working fine. It's the animals from the gift box, which have to be moved to the farm and then into the facilities, which are giving problems. They go from the gift box to the farm OK, and I can get them into the facilities by clicking on them individually on the farm, but that requires two clicks per animal. Using the "Add to animal building" icon in the toolbox does the trick with just one click per animal, which is why I prefer it, but it's not been working today.

It's been happening with cows, goats, chickens, horses, and ducks (not sure about other animals, cos I haven't tried with them), and it's happened on every farm I've tried. I also bought a couple of sheep and tried it, and they disappeared too when I had the "Add to animal building" tool enabled (but moved into the wool shed just fine when I clicked on them directly after they reappeared), so it's happening with purchased animals as well as gifts.

I've tried it in Chrome and IE and it's happened in both.

[Anne Stallard]

I have just been trying to hide some trees to make it easier to see others and they do not all disappear. Screen is somewhat unstable and they keeping appearing/disappearing....
Other than that I have had very few problems since the Flash Player update.
Thanks must go to all the devs etc who are working so hard to put right something which is not their fault. :)

sometimes they come back if you reload the farm... they may be hidden under buildings also, have you tried doing a search using the magnifying glass in the tool box while on that particular farm? hopefully they will appear then..

A big thanks to all for the tireless effort to correct all the problems. MJCH appreciated!!!!

[Marlene F Djebara]

Hi Marlene,
You posted this just at the time Raul posted about the latest fix. Please try again to clearing caches and restart.
Hi Taz
No improvement at all on my end, so jealous of those who are getting their's back, in fact just hired a bunch of people from the market to harvest my crops before they go to waste, even hiring at the market was hard, the blinking and flashing between clicks was madding :mad:
Coop Quests take forever to go through, praying to find what is needed right away so I don't have to blink through my neighbor's coops looking for goods
I haven't even tried to do Facilities as it makes no sense at this point
To be perfectly honest I'm quitting until things are back to normal it's almost impossible to enjoy playing like this, I'm very disappointed :(

[RoseArienh]

Thanks, Developers! Farming today was such a great pleasure. :)

thanks for the reply

Hi nayda,

This is a known issue with the trains at the moment. What you need to do is go to your game settings (preferences) and remove the check mark for "Transparent Dispatched Train", then see if the trains show up clearly, if they do you should be able to click on them. If they still show transparent, just reload that farm and then try again.

[SeniorCornwall]

Tiger,

Your suggestion works for me :)

[Tiger]

Tiger,

Your suggestion works for me :)

You are welcome SeniorCornwall :)

It was Raul that posted in his notes to remove the check mark, I just discovered with mine that i needed to reload the farm as well.

[calendula]

Since the game has been running slow when i try to plant my fields my farms float away all over place and i cant get to plant

Hi tnbskts,
First thing is for animals in the gift box you do not have to move them to the farm first and then into the buildings. Up at the top where it says "Store Ingredients" click the down arrow next to that and choose "Store Animals." Then click on that and it will move all animals to the right building as long as there is room.

Hello, I just read this in the thread. When did this all happen ? I have Bunny Rabbits Mutiplying all over the place. My farms are still dragging and when I go to help my friends, same thing. I keep "Everything" turned off. This way their is nothing to load. My fur babies having been crying for there mommy :( I see them when I can. Loading issues and the dragging is keeping me from them. I have done Everything, I Do Not need a Link to go too, because it's ALREADY been done :) I would just love to beable to load my farms without Error messages popping up, etc. I know their is millions of FT Farmers that play and there is a lot of area to cover on getting the problem fixed.

Thank you Very Much!

There have been many problems with the Flash Player update last week, but the developers have been working to fix all the issues with that.

Hi Carol Ann,
Not all of the problems with the game are caused by the Flash player update from last week. If you are getting error messages when you load your farms that is not part of the Flash Player update. Please try the suggestions in the first post of the following thread:
http://www.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=602774

[Carol Ann Blaise]

Thank you kindly for your quick reply.
I understand that the Flash Player Update last week is Not causing all these other problems. When Farmtown is updating or adding new items. We all seem to go through this problem too. My largest farm are 24x24 and smallest is 18x18. Everything done on mine is farm friendly, No Stacking with layers I mean. I've tried Everything suggested, I'll just wait and see what happens.

Thank you!
Carol Ann

[ckwcpa]

Love the new release..............but this week my trains are not accessable. They are just shaded out. Any suggestions?

[tbirkhead]

I have trains on 2 farms and on one of the farms, I cannot select the trains that have been dispatched. I did see the "known bugs" recommendation of turning off the transparent dispatched train but that is not working for me.

Farm 14 works fine but farm 3 will not let me select the trains.

Hi ckwcpa,
Please try going to your preferences and uncheck the box for "Transparent Dispatched Trains" then restart your farms and check again.

[PK...]

Update on "Update"...

Chrome is still very balky unless you wait quite a while before starting. Lot of lag. Same thing when changing tools. It takes a good while for them to become "normal"..

Edge is worse than Chrome. Switching from hiding crops to showing crops on 9x farm is not working at all. Even mousing around does not fill the field. You have to reload the farm with crops showing to fill the entire field. (Chrome loads fields fine when switching from hide to show.)

Nitro is working very well, but it was not adversely affected very much to begin with.

Have not tried Firefox or Firefox clones on anything but working facilities, and doing co-op quests.

Hi tbirkhead,
If you didn't do it please clear your caches and restart your farm to see if that will make your trains on farm 4 work. Your standard train is ready to be unloaded and dispatched. And your Ultimate freight train will be ready in 42 minutes. The enhanced one has a couple days to go yet.

[dave1949]

I understand that there are players who are not suffering the issues, I'm pleased for them, but please no new release until the game is close to playable.I use Chrome, from tomorrow I will need close the farms one by one. It's not playable, Again it took nearly a hour to load my facilities, When planting the lagging is taking all enjoyment from the game. Thanks Taz for keeping us informed and trying to answer our moans. I do believe, that this time it is not FT, Im also having issues with some other games. TY

[JudyD1651]

I too am having problems with other games as well as Farm Town. Harvesting, plowing and planting crops is exasperating, not to mention trying to design a Halloween farm. Thanks Devs for all you do.

[Texas Belle]

I do not think this is where to ask this question, but I can find no reference where to go. I have a MacBook Pro running under OSX Yosemite...since the Sept fix my Farmtown runs in slow motion, anything I do is delayed action. Even the pointer takes forever to select anything...any suggestion or help would be appreciated...I have cleaned everything I can clean...someone please send me to the right place for answers, thanks so much and have a wonderful day

Upgrade to Capitan on the Mac, it runs much more smoothly and I have not had any problems with the new flash upgrade..

I've been steering away from Chrome myself. Except for the new things Raul listed at the end of first post of this thread - like blinking fields, trees, etc. - I have not had any trouble using Maxthon or Opera instead. I have not tried Firefox for nearly a year now, but one of my friends uses it and says she is having better luck with Chrome than with FF. So there may be some variation based on how up to date the various Chromium core browsers are keeping Flash Player. Opera is not keeping it up to date except for manually and I am using Flash version 19.0.0.15 according to Windows 10 x64. The Adobe web site says this is not the latest version, which may explain why I am not having the slow down.

I went and downloaded Maxthon will check it out,I have been using Chrome. I have my daughters on Opera and have less problems.I did have to clean out the browsing history,because she post a lot of recipes.

There are things we don't always think of that can effect loading. I went and cleaned out computer files the other day(a poster here gave me the idea).I hadn't done it in awhile.Now I have it set to do it weekly.I helped some.Sometimes we don't realize how much junk we have stored on our computer that effect loading. I am just saying problem can be Facebook,could be bugs and problems the Dev's have to work out,and at times it can be our computers themselves.

[tnbskts]

They come back as soon as I click the Walk icon to stop using the "Add to Animal Building" tool. They're just sitting on the plowed fields, perfectly visible, until I enable that tool and they magically disappear. The moment I stop using the tool, they come back, and I can move them to the animal buildings by clicking on the individual animals.

[beverduster]

what happen to the expand button? if i cant expand it takes to long to do the farmin

Hi beverduster,
If you are talking about the Full screen (double arrow) or the zoom (+ - magnifying glasses) they are both still there next to the neighbor bar.

[beverduster]

i know where they are at, but cant get on full screen now, it goes blank when i try to go full screen

[NJones277]

Started out better today, but consistently slowed down. Couldn't highlight one of my trains, even after redoing everything - memcache, browser, clear history... Still having trouble with the highlighting, especially trees and flowers. When moving the farm around, it's still jerky. Will continue to be patient and hope things get back to normal. :)

[iceberg]

can any1 tell me if the following is fixed yet:
The latest version of the Flash Player introduced some changes that slowed down the game considerably, we are currently working on a solution, thanks. Latest update released Tuesday 8:25PM.

I was trying to go to peoples farm to work but the game kept freezing and witholding my bonus and wud not let me change farms so if I could know is it safe to go back

Hi NJones277:)

For your problems with trains, please go to your preferences, the wrench, and uncheck the option for "Transparent Dispatched Train" and see if you can click on the train.

If you cant then refresh the farm and try again.:)

Also remember every time you d/l an application or upgrade you have a lot of languages that come with the program and those take a lot of space also, always clean all the languages on your browser, only need english, the rest can be trashed..

still very sluggish

I suggest installing CCleaner. You do not have to set it to run every time you boot the computer - although I have. It automatically finds all your browsers and cleans the cache from all of them and you can even set it to keep really important cookies if you wish. Of course it does not clear old data files or clear the Farm Town cache (when advised) and you will have to do that on your own, but it will save you time on the rest.

[tnbskts]

Plant a crop on that farm, then hide the crop, reload the farm and see if you can move the animals then..

It seems to work when the animals are in the fields and the crops are hidden. It's sometimes working when the animals are on the grass, but usually not when there are crops growing elsewhere on the farm. It also sometimes works when the fields are plowed but don't have crops. I'm not seeing a pattern yet regarding how that correlates with whether the crops are hidden.

But I've never had to hide crops before in order to make the "Move to Animal House" tool work. That's just happened in the last couple of days.

[hilda jean ellis]

work great yesterday...now I'm back to farms loading slow and the harvesting and plowing are not working good either.but will be patient and wait for the outcome of it all.

[horsecrazy4life]

Not sure if anyone has reported.

Moving items to storage while doing so some of my trees disappear for a matter of seconds and then reappear.

Also when placing on the farm the trees are placed and then disappear for a few seconds and then reappear. This also happens during game play.

[Jean's Farm]

Harvested some of my odd farms today....trees, flowers etc. It seems to be working like it always does. :) Harvested with my harvest buddy last night and neither of us had problems.

I did notice the farms seemed to be slower when I planted after we were finished. But then it always does that when you have been on for a long time. I still was noticing the green under the pending seeds and sometimes a small part would be gone from the plowed field showing grass.....but when it finished seeding it went back to normal.

I'm a happy farmer now!!!! :)

[linda rae]

i have a regular computer and it is a windows 7 .. when on this computer it still makes me pull my hair out . i have done every option you have given to make it run better... it is so slow . not used to waiting for it to catch up with what i am doing ..
please help ... thanks

I use the "hide" option when placing gift trees & flowers on the farm, so that I can see the open spaces. Since the last update, that feature has gone weird and the trees/flowers disappear, then pop up as I try to place the cursor on the open spot.

I tried Maxthron and went back to Chrome they all have the problem and at least Chrome and Opera don't have shadows. I am experiencing the tree thing. You know what? I bet the Mods are too. I am makingi a game of it.WHERE ARE YOU TREES..THERE YOU ARE..COME BACK TREE GOT CHA!!!!:D

[cherbear88]

just to add my voice to the crowd, my crops disappear then reappear and flowers also. kinda hard when you are dragging one flower from one side of the farm and you can't remember the exact spot you intended and it just disappears only to show up in a bit. Same with crops when plowing. kinda frustrating.

[Ellsinore]

Same problem here since the last "fix Flash problems" update. However, everything is faster -- so they disappear and reappear quickly. LOL!

Planting the quest farm is much better now. Using Chrome -- Firefox is so slow, I don't even test with that anymore.

This new Flash player update has caused so many problems, but I'm happy to wait patiently while FT devs find/fix the problems -- they always seem to manage it. :-)

[Petuniaflower]

Facebook has been messing around.I notice the chat format has changed.Could Facebook be causing some of the problems? I am not a programmer,but some of you are or were.

Hi Petuniaflower,
No the problems in Farm Town right now are just the Flash player making the developers fix the game to work with the new version.

[Petuniaflower]

Well Windows 10 kept coming up this past month to install it so I just did will let you know if things work better :)

it is working GREAT. Anyone here that has Windows 10 having any problems.Would like to know.If they are not,Windows 10 fixed the problem AYE I many not be stating this right,but it said my computer was checked to see if it could handle it. It said it differently but that is what it meant.

[boduke66]

For anyone who is using Google Chrome,they released an update last night or today,updated stable version is 46.0.2490.80 m,just in case anyone is interested.

I have not had any problems since upgrading to Windows 10 on the day of its official release. As a matter of fact I did not have many problems when it was still the Insider edition.

The only issue I have had recently is a hardware issue - a Power Supply Unit (PSU) that has decided to provide stability until a month after its warranty expired! So I am not working for anyone in the market for fear of messing things up for another farmer if they think I will get their crops and my system does a "dirty shutdown!"

[earlgray]

OK, I know you are having all sorts of problems related to the Flash update, but just so you know, I am having trouble hiding / not hiding things. For example, I tried to hide everything except banana trees, and it hid everything (there were 14 banana trees to show), then when I simply clicked again on the farm it showed everything.

I pre-ordered Windows 10 and as soon as it was available, switched over, have not had any problems at all with it.. love it!!

[RickSGM]

My Windows 7 has a few problems, but the wife's Windows 10 does fine. Thinking about putting Ubuntu or Mint along side of this Windows 7, just to see how it does, and to use some software I've missed since the Linux box died on me.

[Petuniaflower]

I pre-ordered Windows 10 and as soon as it was available, switched over, have not had any problems at all with it.. love it!!

I really think the game does much better with Windows 10.Wish I had downloaded it earlier.

This past week I had a quest requiring mangos. Yet when I went to my farm to harvest them I noticed that all my mango trees were gone. And not only that but they were gone from the gift section. Did Farmtown simply do away with the Mango trees or is this a glitch?

WF39, chrome user,
I cleared memcache and rebooted,
checked chrome for an updates I have current version...
As I've posted before haven't been able to play since last Thursday, my ft problems run the gamut of issues so I won't list them except to say it's impossible to play like this. I totally understand the developers are working hard to fix and I do appreciate their diligence but I just want you guys/gals to know I've yet to see any improvement at all on my end...The good news is I have more time to do real life stuff and more money in my pocket to enjoy life, much longer like this and my withdraw will be complete so if you want a steady pay check feed my addiction soon... ;)

Now all of a sudden clearing the FT cache 3 times was not enough to keep attempts to work my neighbor's factories from being considered visits... It took 5 times!

Hi Qivis,
I have never had to clear the caches to get a neighbor's work request to work. All I do is when it comes up with the visit thing instead of the work is close the farm and then open the request again. Clearing your own cache doesn't clear theirs.

[Qivis]

Hi Qivis,

I have had to all the time, but usually once or twice is enough. The same with some of my friends when working mine or other farmers. It used to work just by reopening the request but it hasn't worked that way in nearly 2 years. Clearing MY cache was Raul's suggestion since I am in his survey group and I asked him about it in response to something he asked me.

I almost forgot to mention it may have something to do with the fact that I use Windows 10 and have since the day it came out in the Insider Preview. I even managed to back up my data to a 2nd machine so I could get the official release as soon as possible. Since Windows 10 is still practically brand new it may some effect on how games run in Facebook in general and Farm Town in particular.

I am assuming this is because of Facebook >Just wondering , Is everyones Home wall just full of Ads for Companies and Groups ... and your Farmtown Game posts missing or old ?? I'm finding my neighbors 'likes' of their neighbors work postings , BUT my own neighbors work postings are not showing up and my neighbors 'likes' of their neighbors bonus postings are showing , but not my neighbors Own bonus postings ... Extremely irritating !!
I can find new postings thru the Farmtown Wall Requests .. new posts are THERE but not on the Home wall .. it is making it so much harder to work neighbors farms or help them by clicking their bonus posts ..

Hi Tuckerbnc,
We have all seen these. There is a way to combat that to a point. Fro the ad ones, click on the down arrow in the upper right corner of the post and remove all ads from that company. a little survey will pop up answer that and Facebook should not show you any more ads from that company.
For the likes from your friends of other work ostings, if you are not friends with the other poster, then again click the down arrow and hide all postings from that other person (not your friend). That will stop any more likes posted on their post.

Hi Taz ,

I do remove the Ads that way . I'm just wondering why my Own neighbors factory postings are not showing on the home wall or Their bonus posts ... Sometimes their Work factory post will show but Not their Refer work postings (will find them if I go to their home profile) ... And if I hide the liked 'friends' work posts , I don't get the benifit of their bonus postings ... I don't mind their work postings showing up on my wall .. I just wish my OWN neighbors work & refer postings & bonuses would show on my Home wall ...

Thanks , Tammy

Hi Tammy,
Facebook controls what is on your Newsfeed and they only will show you a certain amount. This was one reason why the developers set up the way for you to see them all in the My Requests.

Hi rjlinkjr,
They are still working on the problems. We just have to be patient until they can fix all the issues with this.

[snickddle]

just want to let you know i updated to windows 10 and it did not help with the problems i am having with flash..

[knolan]

Has there been a new change regarding the Hide options? I have chosen to hide a few trees, but they don't really 'hide' if I move my mouse over the area where I have hidden them, they are hidden, but, if I move my mouse over a different location, the trees appear, without having to refresh my screen. I don't like the feature bcuz it's confusing for me to see which trees are really there, or which ones are hidden.

Hi knolan,

Problems with the hide feature is a known issue that's being worked on at the moment. Keep an eye on the notes in Rauls post at the beginning of this thread for any updates.

[Aussie Rae]

the best thing to do if you have trees or anything reappearing after you have hidden them.. is reload the game.. and then they are gone... I have noticed this happens now and again, not all the time, I can live with it until the flash problem is fixed.. no big deal.. we have had worse to deal with in the past... :)

i don't think anyone has asked this question, and maybe this isn't the right thread for it, but i'll pose it anyway: rather than frequently tweaking the game so it will work with Adobe's frequently-changing program, why not tweak the game so it will work WITHOUT any input from Adobe, or anyone else? i'm not a programmer, graphics weenie, or software developer, but surely it can be done, yes? otherwise, Adobe has everyone by the 'short hairs', and they know it; they can do whatever they want, free and clear, and without consequence...

[WyoSugar]

I don't know if anyone else is having this problem. Since the last upgrade, my orange manure spreader is working. I used to be able to carry it from farm to farm. Now I can only use it on one or two; then I have to leave FT and go back in and do one or two more...and so on and so on and so on and so on. Thanks

If you put it in storage, you don't have to move it around at all, you just access it from the tool box.

Hi supertrucker,
If it was only that easy. Unfortunately every program on your computer has to be built within some programming language. Flash happens to be the language that Farm Town is written in, so when they change the language then you have to make adjustments. It could be any one of a number of languages that support graphics, but Flash was the best at the time that Farm Town was created.

Hi. I do have it in storage. I click on it and fertilize one or two farms and then it won't let me click on it again; so I have to leave FT and go back in.

Not until all the Flash problems are solved. I would expect any new release will be delayed until those problems are corrected.

4. Show Workable Farms in Market: When you are hiring others and you are selecting the target farms, there will be a new blue button 'Show Work Info' on that screen. This will highlight all the farms with work available based on the type of work you selected previously. Each farm button will convey 3 bits of information, for example if farm 1 button shows '7500 in 30x30' it means that there are 7500 workable items on that farm, which size is 30x30.

Notice that the 7500 figure combines all the work available for the types of work you have selected, for example, if you did a Hire Multiple and selected all the options, it could mean that there is 1000 crops ready, 1000 trees ready to harvest, 1000 flowers ready, 1000 trees ready to chop, 1500 fields ready to plow and 2000 fish available to catch on that particular farm.

We also highlight in green how much of the total farm surface is covered with workable items, for example if half of your farm 1 is covered with ready to harvest crops, and 1 quarter is covered with ready to harvest trees and the last quarter is covered with decorations, the green bar will reflect that you have 3 quarters of your farm 1 surface covered with workable items.

In the future and based on users feedback we may decide to split the green bar by each type of work using different colors, so you can also have a good idea of how much of each type of work is available on each farm.

Due to the amount of back end resources that this operation consumes, you can only refresh this information once every 10 minutes.

This does not work for me. I had one Farmer I hired to just bless me out for sending him to farms with no work ready. Anyone else having this problem.

If you carry the fertilizer from farm to farm, after about the third farm it seems to not work anymore. I would always click the green man before moving to the next farm. That seemed to work better.

[ellenaussiefarm]

taz i want to agree with you about what you said about adobe in your comments my dad used to be a computer programmer and i have an extended family mermber who isd one to and i know if you was to well not you personally but if the devs were to do that they would have to rewrite the hole game its self again and redo all the codes ect itd take possibly years right taz the programmes dad did for his family bussiness he was working on most of my life and im 30 so im jsut saying i agree with you the devs have a big job now and itd be even bigger trying to do with out the flash

[liza1214]

just taken me 2hrs to do 12 farms thought it was fixed use to take 2hrs to do all farms on my neighbours this is ridiculous
just saying!!!
very frustrating

[mac16129]

Looks like all fixed. GREAT WORK!!!!!!

[Shellgirlmtl]

I thought I should report this... Noticed last night that the Yellow Message Board was lifted and things seemed to be back to normal but today I find that hiding objects is still a problem... hidden items still pop up all over the screen and there is still a delay when switching tools (about 5 to 8 secs)... all the other issues seem to be fixed... thank you...

Hi Dave,
Just have to be patient. When they are trying changes to fix the problems then it may slow things down for us temporarily.
Even though the message above the farm has been removed it doesn't mean that everything is fixed.

ok Taz ty, it was good to play all day, now its rubbish again

[NJones277]

Don't know if this will make any difference to you guys, but when I clear memcache, the information on the screen only goes through Farm 16.

Game was a bit better today. Was able to work half my farms before clearing everything. Keep up the good work. :)

yeah, me too.... I was told that all the farms are cleared, but the list of the first 16 takes up the whole page.....

not so.... there is lots of white space after #16... and each line is specific to one farm.... not sure if this is a partial fix or not.

Still have to zoom in very closely to harvest a few trees on outside edge of farms. Otherwise game has been fixed. Thanks

Thanks. I clicked the green man between farms and it worked. It took longer than I'm use to but a lot faster than having to clear cache and go in and out of FT :)

[NJones277]

Interesting "bug" I figured out today - doesn't mean I have a fix or that it has anything to do with the current issues. I've been having problems planting certain spaces - for example - I'm planting clover and get all but 6 or 8 squares planted and there's nothing I can do to make those squares highlight. I clicked on the green man to get everything back - my eye is completely closed - moved a decoration that happened to be over those squares, and it worked perfectly. Maybe something, maybe nothing. Just thought you guys should know. (The decoration was a black cloud and lightening.)

I've had trouble at times harvesting trees that have clouds over them. And every once in a while I have trouble harvesting if something is placed to close to flowers or the plots.

I worked for someone who had black clouds with lightening and that was the worst to harvest under them.

[widow lyn]

whenever I am working on my farms, I am getting a lot of glitches where everything disapears or fades in and out while I am trying to work, this happens even if I don't have anything hidden and when I do hide something it does not stay hidden. I have to keep refreshing to see if it placed correctly.

Hi widow lyn,
I have moved your post to the News & Announcements, New Release thread to be able to better answer you. This is caused by an Adobe Flash Player release last week that has caused many issues with the game that the developers are working on to fix. You can find information on this in the first post of this thread by Raul.

[Wendiddy]

Did I miss the announcement telling us super neighbours can no longer buy multiples of decorations?

[marymarcel]

Did I miss the announcement telling us super neighbours can no longer buy multiples of decorations?

Hi Wendiddy:)

We sent an email to the developers about this problem with super neighbors not able to buy multiple items.:)

[horsecrazy4life]

Thank you marymarcel - I was also going to comment, that I am experiencing this issue as well - Superneighbors not able to buy multiple items also not able to delete items. Thought it was just a temporary glitch.

[texlady]

Hasthe bug been fixed in regard to the latest problem with flash player? Therre is no longer a banner saying they are aware of the problem and working on it and IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED on my farm (as well as 3 other problems I have had -one being for over a year) At this rate, nothing will be working on my farms, before long.

Hi texlady,

Just because the message is gone form the top of the game, does not mean they are not still working on the problems. Please keep an eye on Raul's notes in the top post here for any updates.

[MadamePondarosa]

My farms are still very slow after flash update. Every farm need to load 0-100% even if I have bin in that farm in same session before. Its the same on every farm, not only where I have many trees an animals.

Sometimes facilities show when I have disabled "show facilities". Not only when hiding, but set that no facilities should show. I hope hiding will work soon as well.

[Aussie Rae]

if after you hide something, such as trees, and they continue to reappear, just go back to preferences and tick and untick them again.. reloading the farm also helps...

[Snookie Sue]

Decorating has been especially frustrating - especially tonight - but I suppose I shouldn't complain much as everything else is running beautifully. Thanks for all your hard work. I don't suppose we can expect a new release this weekend? :(

[Taz D]

Raul has posted the following update:
Post-Release Updates - October 29th, 11:40PM

- As part of the game performance optimization efforts we have upgraded our Flash Development Environment to the latest version, this in itself should bring some improvements but it's possible that you may find some hiccups due to this that we will have to fix as we go, but so far it looks pretty stable, please report any issues.

- We have also focused on improving some of the key farming operations in the game, in particular, when using the tree shaker, flower harvester and log truck, so big farms fully populated with trees or flowers should be faster to handle now, I even tried 40 x 40 farms fully populated with trees and the experience was acceptable on a 6 years old computer with 4GB of RAM.

- We also fixed some of the issues with the Show XYZ options in the Preferences Window, when Showing and Hiding items, they should not reappear again when moving the mouse.

- When hiding things we removed the red lines marking the spot of the hidden items, they were slowing down the game significantly when dragging and farming in a farm with lot of red lines.

- There are still some planned optimizations pending that we hope should help load farms a few seconds faster, specially big working farms, these should be released most likely next week.

- The next release should probably come early next week if there are no major emergencies.

Known Issues

- Bug: When working farms there are still some green patches appearing randomly on farms, which should disappear once you mouse over them

- Bug: When moving items to and from storage, it's possible that some of them disappear/appear on the farm when you mouse move over them. This may have improved with the latest changes, in any case please report if this is still happening to you.

[Granny T]

This just happened today, has not happened before. When I hide the trees there are no red squares like there were before. What happened? Thanks.

[WendyP57]

hopefully these are bugs that will iron themselves out while devs are working on things. I have everything hidden before I go to a super neighbours farm to work for them, but everything shows when I get there, trees, flowers, crops, buildings..everything, so it takes forever for the farm to load. Also noticed that the custom order I had my facilities set to in facility manager has completely re-organised itself. Thought I'd mention in case anyone else is having the same problems. thanks

[auntsusie59]

Game is acting really "squirrely" all of a sudden. When hiding things nothing is hidden!!! This is the same issue that WendyP57 is having

[santafesandbar]

Developers' statement:

- When hiding things we removed the red lines marking the spot of the hidden items, they were slowing down the game significantly when dragging and farming in a farm with lot of red lines.


I find the red lines helpful when planting a grove of new trees in the middle of a tree forest. Mine disappeared a few hours ago in the middle of planting trees.

I hope we get them back or at least an option to show the red squares.

[boduke66]

Not sure but since the update tonight,i cannot turn decorations off when visiting my neighbors farms,they show up even though i have them turned off under preferences,just wanted to make you all aware of this.the farm its happening on,is one of the farms of a super neighbor,not sure if that matters or not.

[trina531]

thank you for always listening to your members....sometimes the issues are out of your control yet you work to solve the issues...hiccups happen.. I appreciate that you continue to communicate with members as you work though the problems..

MY SUGGESTION..ft players if you see your friends complaining refer them to the forum and look at their updates.

[peekachoo]

I've opened My Facility Manager for the first time today and everything is jumbled up. I normally have mine set to Custom Order, if I click it to go alphabetically it does it, but when I click for Custom Order it's still all muddled up and not as I have usually have it .

Just thought you ought to know.

Oh, and I did clear the memcache and tried twice.


Edit: I've just clicked on Production Chain and the listing is almost how I normally have it...weird.

[max_river]

when i am working my supper neibour farm everything is showing up this just started happing

[Kathy813]

While working my neighbor's facilities, that white arrow keeps showing up! It won't go away!

[Aussie Rae]

totally p#$$%d off now.. I had all my facilities sorted using Customize... now they are all suddenly in alphabetical order.. so I went and commenced to Customize again.. nothing stuck!! the hours it will take to go through and do this all over again is mind boggling.. 191 normal facs, plus all the referrals, plus all the non workables by friends not to mention animal barns.. not happy folks.. done memcache, cleared download and browsing history and cache and nothing stays saved.. hoping this glitch is fixed soon.. may need to leave the farming for a week or so and hope its all back to normal by then.. just having a whinge... :)

[QUOTE=dave1949;6010318]What is happening, the game improved, now its worse than 3 days ago[/QUOTE

Many things have improved for me, but tonight I noticed that my Facilities are out of the custom order that they had been early today.

[EdithFay]

totally p#$$%d off now.. I had all my facilities sorted using Customize... now they are all suddenly in alphabetical order.. so I went and commenced to Customize again.. nothing stuck!! the hours it will take to go through and do this all over again is mind boggling.. 191 normal facs, plus all the referrals, plus all the non workables by friends not to mention animal barns.. not happy folks.. done memcache, cleared download and browsing history and cache and nothing stays saved.. hoping this glitch is fixed soon.. may need to leave the farming for a week or so and hope its all back to normal by then.. just having a whinge... :)

I am glad that I am not the only one with this problem. I am sure they can get this back without manually changing them back. (at least I have hope)

[Ellsinore]

- Bug: When moving items to and from storage, it's possible that some of them disappear/appear on the farm when you mouse move over them. This may have improved with the latest changes, in any case please report if this is still happening to you.

Harvesting is much MUCH faster, though I still have to wait just as long for it to save, but the "now you see them now you don't" issue when moving things from storage is pretty bad. So -- I'm reporting that it's still happening to me. :-)

Edited to Add: I wanted to also mention that my CPU percentage has been very high and overheating when in FT, but I didn't notice that happening tonight after the update. This is a very good thing. I love my old computer and was afraid I might be burning it up. :-D

[max_river]

i was not having issues until tonight taking for ever to load and everything is showing up when working on my supper neibours farm but i do have faith that the dev are working on it

[Lainiea]

Just started showing ALL facilities and tools, and I have them turned off.

IT is even worse then this. Once you get to a farm the very first time you get a tool to harvest. plow, plant, chop, tree shake...in other words ANYTIME you get a tool to work the farm EVERYTHING shows up even if you have it hidden. And worse yet. the crops you are cultivating and all are showing up wrong.
I have all farms all maxed sizes and this is just pug ugly nasty. It makes crops disappear when you are working the fields. If you are only harvest and plowing it is not so bad, but once you try to plant or sow the fields go haywire.

[Debra Sims]

My facilities and buildings will not hide tonight. Also when I plow and plant a field on someone else's farm; it looks like it's only plowing although it really does plant. Thanks

[Anne Stallard]

Up until today, I was not having a problem with hiding trees so I could seed my farm round the edges. Now I just cannot seed some of the fields! I have tried using the single plot way of seeding and also multi planers. Neither will allow me to seed some of the fields.
This is frustrating as I run a quest farm with a few of each crop to enable me to have 'on tap' any crop I may need each day. I have emptied my browser history and used memcache cleaner several times. Nothing is working

[Palmarina]

I think there is a problem in the facility manager. When I want to sort my facilities by Custom Order they are all mixed up. My own sorting of factories and services is gone.
Do I have to put everything again the way I want it or is there a reset foreseen in the deverlopper's todo list?

[Dave L]

IT is even worse then this. Once you get to a farm the very first time you get a tool to harvest. plow, plant, chop, tree shake...in other words ANYTIME you get a tool to work the farm EVERYTHING shows up even if you have it hidden.

I'm getting this issue too. Most inconvenient.

[Nettie (Q)]

When I harvest/plow/plant for neighbour, work is showing, then disappearing to show a harvested field only. Neighbour sees newly planted crops. The crop just harvested seems NOT to be going to storage.

Just ran a check with neighbour, although amounts do not change for me, they do change for neighbour. When I reload the farm, storage amounts do increase, but are different amounts than neighbour sees.

Hope this information helps

[maggiel29]

Having problems with the Green 5x5 combine harvest plow seed - it will only harvest! The single tools will plow and seed. Dont know if its just this one or if the other bigger ones have a problem as havent got any other crops growing except my Quest farm - which I do with the 5x5. It was working earlier about 3 hours ago. The menu box for the see shop pops up and I select a seed, click on the farm and the little progress bars all appear - but when they are done the patch reverts back to a harvested field.
The combine harvest plows works so its obviously a problem with the seeding element of the 3 in 1 combine.

[Dr. Dirt]

When I use my 5x5 combine, after clicking, the fields are not planted they show as harvested . I then have to use the 5x5 plow tool and then the seeder to plant the harvested plots. Clearing the memcache did not help. After trying this on a few more farms it only seems to be happening on my farm 19. This is marked as a private and a quest farm. I unchecked the private and quest boxes and cleared the memcache but this did not help.

[JbarLFarms]

I think there is a problem in the facility manager. When I want to sort my facilities by Custom Order they are all mixed up. My own sorting of factories and services is gone.
Do I have to put everything again the way I want it or is there a reset foreseen in the deverlopper's todo list?

My custom setting for my facility manager is all out of whack also. I hope this means I don't have to manually redo it. :(

[JohnAlbertini]

When chopping of harvesting flowers they have a delay where there is a "ghost" or relic show for a few seconds that I never had before. Seems to slow down selecting/highlighting the next item to harvest.

Also, when working neighbor's facilities there used to be a white arrow pointing at the "work all" button that appeared only on the first facility worked. That arrow appears for every facility now.

[StoneFace]

Progress is good.... and I hope it continues for all players.

When you think of how the game has grown from over 6 years ago.... well, it is nothing short of amazing.

Well done (and doing) developers. !!

and

if all goes well...
- The next release should probably come early next week if there are no major emergencies.

:D:D:D

[sdsickinger]

MY Factories/ buildings/ tools are showing on my farm even the " show " box is unchecked. I can check the box and then uncheck it and they will disappear, but when I go to the next farm they are back again. Harvesting my own trees does seem faster, so thanks for that..

[Qivis]

People are showing when I work the farms of others and I have not had decorations on for several weeks now! And factories are showing whether I have them on or not.

[DianeCK]

Same here factory's showing up after I harvest anything.. when I plant harvest plow it shows that i only plowed .. If this is a Halloween funny.. its a good one if not.. sorry this hits on Halloween eve... When I reloaded everything was right.. doing a lot of reloading.. Good Luck.. thanks for your time fixing this.. Happy Halloween..

[Shellgirlmtl]

OK... Very disappointed... Here is my take on the bug fixes...

1) Firstly, a problem I did not have, I do now... Facility Manager was working fine before and now all my custom settings on 1016 facilities, including Animal sheds, Regular & Client Facs, are all jumbled... NOT PLEASED... That is all I have to say about it, very very disappointed...

2) Even though I Hide All Items through the Preference Menu, it seems they actually are not hidden... example... I turn off everything except trees to chop/harvest and a few I cannot chop/harvest because they happen to be behind a rocky hill or a bldg etc. so I put down my tool to move the item and all that were turned off reappear, WHY???... they are turned off... and because they reappear I cannot highlight the tree to move it or chop it etc... Hope I explained myself properly...

3) Bring back the red lines (squares)... for all of us that do design farms, these lines were helpful when placing/adding trees or flowers etc.... you could see the empty spaces and where you could put an item... and I have a sneaky feeling these red lines (squares) are related/connected to the hiding of items (mentioned in 2)

4) Harvesting crops is great... Overall harvesting including trees, is much faster and there is no delay whatsoever... only problem is mentioned in 2) above...

I have not checked flowers yet so no comment there...

I hate complaining and am not one to complain often but I have to voice my opinion here, I am disappointed... I hope my concerns are looked into and after reading a few of the recent posts am glad I am not the only one...

Otherwise, I love this game but right now I am turned off... If it turns out that I have to re-do all my settings in the Facility Manager I am going to be a very disgruntled Farmerette... :(

Please DO NOT give us another Release until these issues are solved...

And as always thank you for all you do...

P.S... I just realized that maybe I jumped the gun a little too soon... Sorry, I just woke up and did not fully read all of Raul's Update... I notice now that the DEVS are aware of all that I mentioned above... but, nevertheless, I will leave my post for reference...

[L.A.Bob]

using my Harvest/Plow/Plant 14x14 tool the fields only show harvested. When I reload the farm the fields show planted.

[Momma Woods]

I don't think I have ever ( started 2009) seen things in such a mess. Hope a solution is found soon. I feel confident tha Raul and his crew will have it running smooth soon:)

[bjyhey3]

I haven't had any problems with this until this morning and thought I'd report this. I used my harvest/plow/sow tool to harvest and replant my tomatoes and all it did was harvest. I rechecked on it and it took me to the store, I chose tomatoes and it acted like it would plant them over the harvested unplowed plots...they were highlighted...but nothing.
i might note it is happening with some of the other crops as well but not all.
I already memcached, restarted, etc. :)
Sorry to keep adding to this but I tried reloading that farm and it showed it was planted after all.
All is well...thank you for all you do :)

[rjlinkjr]

The whole game is messed up again, crops pop back up, trees, buildings , decorations, all pop up with everythhing turned off, really a mess to try and work the farms

[TBear]

Trying to harvest my crops but my trees/flowers/buildings keep blocking everything. This is the first day I've had a problem with my farms. Sure hope my farms don't go to waste :(

[nadya]

everything is showing up when working on my supper neighbours even unchecked the show box

[Petuniaflower]

The Mods are most likely experiencing the same problems all of the rest of us are having.Trying to answer our questions when they themselves are trying to do their farms. I will say for myself,They can report back to Raul what is happening in words much better than I.

[MichHotRod]

I was wondering is there a way to complain to the Flash people directly, things work fine before their update, the problems we are having is due to the Flash update not Raul and his people. The Last Flash update has turn into a major down grade and the Flash guys should know how we fell

[MichHotRod]

I do want to Thank the Slashkey people for doing thier best to get things back on track, after the latest Flash update that turn into a
down grade

[cocosfarm]

Nothing will stay hidden-cannot plant!Just happened today!

[Crystal]

The game is so slow anymore, anyone know when this might be fixed? It is so bad that I am considering giving up the game.

[Taz D]

Hi All,
Just a reminder to please check the first post in this thread for known Issues as Raul has posted these:
Known Issues

- Bug: When working farms there are still some green patches appearing randomly on farms, which should disappear once you mouse over them

- Bug: When moving items to and from storage, it's possible that some of them disappear/appear on the farm when you mouse move over them. This may have improved with the latest changes, in any case please report if this is still happening to you.

- Bug: When changing from a tool to walk, all items shows up even if some were marked as hidden in the preferences. This is the same issue people are complaining about when working for SN and hidden items shows up.

- Bug: Custom Order in Facility Manager is messed up, not showing correctly. Also, if you try to change the order of a facility, it stays ok on the same session, but goes back to previous position on game reload.

[GoalieAunt]

This may need to be added to the bugs list. As someone else has reported, when I use my combine to harvest/plow/seed, I get harvested plots. But reloading the farm shows that the correct crops were seeded.

[sylvie48uk]

I'm having problems with large farm navigation, this never used to be a problem but I'm finding that the farms are flying all over the screen when I try to move across. Is anyone else having this problem? The tool icon on the screen doesn't appear to relate to where I'm actually working...everything is taking so long to do - on one farm I actually had to reload because I couldn't find the farm!

[vonalm]

bug:
when you UNchecked the trees and they're still showing.....

[Taz D]

This may need to be added to the bugs list. As someone else has reported, when I use my combine to harvest/plow/seed, I get harvested plots. But reloading the farm shows that the correct crops were seeded.
Hi GoalieAunt,
I am seeing this too, but only if I replant the farm with the same crop. If I plant a different crop on the farm then it works normally. Is this what you are seeing?

[Snookie Sue]

I had been largely unaffected by the current problems except for the original slowness and more recent trouble with hiding things but today things have gone south with harvesting, plowing and sowing. Hard to explain it as it is sort of complicated. When I h/p/s a field it originally shows up as just harvested then when I move to the next one and work it it appears that I plant not only the new one but re-sow the one I had just finished. Then the whole farm seems to go a bit nuts. Some fields/plots look as if I have stacked them (and I never ever have). If I reload the farm I do find that I have planted in the correct places but this is VERY confusing. Most of my farms are patchwork and this is not fun. Keep on plugging guys. Good luck. ;)

[ozobay]

this place sucks they cant fix flashplayer problems and now all the problems today noted in other posts we r in the 21st century r we not?

[Tiger]

Hi ozobay,

Please read the notes in Raul's post at the beginning of this thread. It lists the current issues. That is also where updates/fixes will be posted when they are released.

[PK...]

Suddenly, my green hand is unable to move a facility on top of crops... Really has made life miserable. If I can find a certain place along the edge I can move them outside the farm, but other than that I can't move anything. Can't move ponds or seacoasts inside the farm, either....

I have restarted the game, restarted the browser, and cleared memcache. Any other suggestions?

This feature was working a couple days ago, or whenever the last time I used it...

Thanks...

Hi PK,

I don't do what you describe as a rule, but gave it a go to test it for you. I had no problems moving my waters on or off the farms and with the facility all i had to do was wait for the footprint to turn green before it would let me set it down. Perhaps this is a temporary problem.

[MadamePondarosa]

About this...
"When hiding things we removed the red lines marking the spot of the hidden items, they were slowing down the game significantly when dragging and farming in a farm with lot of red lines."

If its possible to get the red lines back for flowers and trees when hidde in the future, it would make me happy! Because when I plant lots of flowers and trees at the same time its easy to slip a spot, and the red lines then helps me view where I forgot.

Understand speed comes first, but please consider if possible in the future.

I have the same problem. It worked until this morning, and now it's no longer possible. In fact I had no problems on Chromium (and only slowness on Chrome) until now. I suspect it's because of either a) the flash problem with hidden items becoming unhidden even when unchecked (which only started today for me) or b) the removal of the red squares when hiding trees etc (which is new from today), or c) a combination of the above.

The red squares - they disappear anyway if you hide and reload, and they are extremely useful, e.g. when planting small trees behind bigger ones - then you know where not to plant. Now you have to guess and hope your aim is good.

If this red square issue prevents placing trees and flowers and facilities on top of crops, it will drive a lot of people away from the game ... and so the devs should consider reversing that change.

I'm having problems aiming the smaller tools (which I use for harvesting small numbers of fields on my quest farm) - the 1x2 harvest tool harvests trees as well, so now I either need to wait till this is all fixed before doing quests properly, or moving all my trees to the upper end of the farm (which I have done tonight.)

[RuralVirologist]

Just to add ... I suspect the devs made the options available to tick for hiding certain items so that if flowers were planted behind small trees, people could get to them ... or plant them there. I think many, if not most, have realised that this allows trees/facilities etc to be planted where crops are if the crops are hidden. I don't know if this is contrary to the "no stacking/layering" policy, or if that applies only to crops. Either way, at least for me and some others, that has effectively ended. And that is what will drive people (customers) away.

Having redone my quest farm, I can live with it ... and really don't want to leave, and this isn't going to make me leave. I'll be planting long term crops for a while, and then if there is no fix, redesign my farms so one farm has only flowers, another only trees (I'm not into the nice-looking decoration thing - I always ended up squeezing in a few fields between mansions to get that extra crop!)

Addition/edit: I notice now that I cannot easily load the farms of those with many facilities on the farm used to advertise work. E.g. one with 75 facilities - it hangs at 6% saying that it's loading facilities. I used to be able to avoid that by hiding all the facilities before I went around helping.

[triheart]

another bug.... when you use the combine for harvesting plowing and seeding ... you do not get your xp or coins... I thought it was with the super neighbour only but it is on my own farm as well....

so frustrating maybe you can freeze the crops so we don't lose them as well. it's so much slower since last night....

also saying already done.....

Please fix

[dcsully]

Today has been the worst day EVER!!! Not only are buildings showing, which is just annoying, but trying to plant is HORRIBLE!!!! And why did you mess with my Facility Manager. I spent weeks organizing that and in just one click you take it all away. Last year you took all of my storage in crops/items and I have slowly built most of it back up. Some I think I will never catch up again (eggs/milk/ham/honey). I have spent a lot of money on this game but I guess that doesn't matter to you!! You picked the wrong day to stick that box up there asking me to rate this game!!! GRRRRRR

[dorissau]

Removing the red grid was a huge mistake. According to everyone on our FT chat group, we use those grids in order to place gift trees & flowers and other things we want to line up on the farms. Big boo hiss on that change. Just work on the Flash mess-up please!!

[maggiel29]

Just seeing what happens when I harvest, plow and seed over a Leek crop with the combines - but just noticed the option in the preferences tool box to only show certain items doesnt seem to be working. I have selected to only show crops, trees and flowers and it is showing everything. Not a problem for my own farms but some of the friends whose facilities I work have a ton of stuff all on top of one another and its a nightmare.

EDIT

OK I swear I am going mad! Hidden items where the box is deselected in the preferences menu now are NOW NOT showing up on mine or neighbours farms UNTIL I use the combine, then they show up until I reload????? Beginning to think some trick or treater has snuck onto my farms early :D

PS I use Chrome and Windows 10

[Snookie Sue]

:( Farming today has been so stressful. I play the game to relax. Anyone know of a rehab center for FT players?

[tbirdcat]

When I have everything turned off "hidden" they still appear when working any farm.. Still have the "too close" farms and cannot zoom out.. Is there anyone working on these issues? I understand that the items showing when you have them hidden is in progress, but did Chrom or anyone else ever get a fix for the farms being too close and not being able to zoom out to original size?

Hi triheart:)

I just tried on my farms using the combine Harvest/Plant, you need to refresh the farm you are working on and you will see xp were added, same with coins.:)

[dianedrayson]

I hope they are able to bring back the red grid when they fix everything else. I use that whenever I plant new trees. It's the most reliable way of filling in every gap.

OK the same is happening to me as Taz said - it looks like things havent planted but when you reload the game they are there. Be interesting to see what happened to the crops I planted over the top of the ones I thought hadnt been planted. Its a display issue not a functional one and I can cope with the work around of reloading.

Hi Triheart,
Since you have 1.4 billion experience then the number is shortened and you do not see the lesser numbers, so you may not see the experience adding up. If you hover your mouse over the number it will show the whole number.
When you are working on your own farm you do not collect coins for the harvesting as you get all the crop. The plowing and seeding cost you coins so they should be going down and not up. Again depending on how many coins you have the number may be shortened and you won't see the coins being deducted.

[PK...]

It DOES appear that the "Red Square Fix" is the culprit of this nasty problem. My problems also only started today, and I strongly agree with RuralVirologist that the Devs roll this fix back and find another way to attack the major problem.

I can handle things not staying hidden, but the new issues related to the red squares is a real deal breaker. I also concur that this will drive people away faster than anything else that has happened to date.

I am hanging in by the skin of my teeth....

[Snookie Sue]

Please, please undo whatever you did last night. I liked my red squares - they were very helpful. In fact now I LOVED my red squares. What was the point in removing them?

[Aussie Rae]

when you harvest anything, suddenly all trees, flowers, buildings etc appear even though they are not ticked.. they will not go away unless you reload the farm.. very annoying to be trying to farm at the moment, so I am only doing quests and the bare minimum until a fix is found.. my facility manager is also mucked up... 191 facs were in customised order.. not any more!! will take hours to fix this mess.. not sure if I will even try as the save doesn't work when you try with just a couple of them.. what a mess, but at least we are all in the same boat!! the flash player is not just picking on a few people... its non discriminatory.. lol

[PawPaw99]

Just call me chicken little if you want but the sky is not falling and this is not the worst day eve. Sure there is problems with Farm Town now, but the Devs are working on it and if past history has taught us anything we should have a little patience, they will solve this one also. Might not be as quick as we want or may not be exactly like we would want it but you have to agree the price of playing this game is right. You can spend as much or as little as you choose. Happy Farming to all.

[GoalieAunt]

Hi GoalieAunt,
I am seeing this too, but only if I replant the farm with the same crop. If I plant a different crop on the farm then it works normally. Is this what you are seeing?

That is what I'm seeing.

[Shellgirlmtl]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU... Raul & Devs you ROCK!!!... :)

The Red Squares/lines are back and I can now chop/harvest what was behind an item...
Note: As far as I can see these red lines do not slow down my farms, but that is just in my case... I personally prefer having these red squares/lines for planting and transplanting trees & flowers... I do have the "Grass With Guidelines" but I find that is more helpful for deciphering the center of the farm, placing an item (example a fence) directly opposite to each other, etc...

Facility Manage back to my original Customized Settings...

And it looks like hidden objects are staying hidden...

I'm a Happy Farmerette again!!!... :)


P.S. Haven't checked the harvest/plow/plant problem yet...

[dcsully]

hurried to check to see if my facility manager was back to normal - but no - not mine!!! And thank you for removing the red lines but now mine are white!! What I have to go thru to harvest and plant certain fields is crazy!! Not worth playing the game. Please go back to yesterday!!!!!!!!!!

Hi dcsully,
They just did go back to yesterday about 30 minutes ago:

Post-Release Updates - October 30th, 5:00PM

- Due to all the issues with the current release we are reverting back to the previous release so we can have more time to fix all the bugs players have found so far, we estimate all the known bugs should be fixed by monday or tuesday next week.

We will also bring back the red lines, however realize this makes operations like dragging, working on a farm and the game in general very slow, specially if there are too many red lines on the screen. This is why we released a few months ago the "Grass with Guidelines" in the Paths category, which is just a grass with the red lines but do not slow down the game, although we understand this is not accessible to all players because it is a farm cash item that you need to purchase once (35FC) and then apply as many times as you like to the rest of the farms.

Please restart your farms to see if things are not back to what was working yesterday.

I just harvested/chopped trees and harvested/plowed crops on 3 farms in 30 minutes whereas earlier today before the return of the red lines and the hidden object problem, it took me almost 2 hrs to do 2 quest farms... BIG BIG, HUGE difference... THANK YOU once again!!!... :)

[NJones277]

What an adventure today was. I could tell the devs are working hard to fix everything. Never knew what I was going to get. The last 6 or 7 farms worked perfectly. Still have lines, but looks like things are getting back to normal - whatever that is.

I've been playing this game since the beginning. New players have no idea what all the long-timers have been through and what all the devs have fixed. It's an awesome game. Have a little faith that things will return to how they're supposed to be soon.

Debugging is one of the hardest things devs do in any application. You fix one and another 5 pop up. Keep going guys. We're with you!!

In the meantime, look at the game as an adventure in problem solving. I've learned many things since this new release that I wouldn't know if not for the problems.

- Due to all the issues with the current release we are reverting back to the previous release so we can have more time to fix all the bugs players have found so far, we estimate all the known bugs should be fixed by monday or tuesday next week.

We will also bring back the red lines, however realize this makes operations like dragging, working on a farm and the game in general very slow, specially if there are too many red lines on the screen. This is why we released a few months ago the "Grass with Guidelines" in the Paths category, which is just a grass with the red lines but do not slow down the game, although we understand this is not accessible to all players because it is a farm cash item that you need to purchase once (35FC) and then apply as many times as you like to the rest of the farms.

Please restart your farms to see if things are not back to what was working yesterday.

YEAH!!!!!!!! tytytytytytytytyty

[Snookie Sue]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

[Judy Cowan]

First and foremost ,I would like to give a big SHOUT OUT to Raul and his team for working to clean up someone elses mess!! The glitches were created by flashes update and creating a ton of work arounds for Raul and his team who are the heros in this trying to fix our game...
Now I would like to ask a favor, Please release the soldiers, and other decorations for us to honor our service men and women this Veterans Day... I know that a lot of us would like to have them to decorate our farms in their honor especially for those who like my husband have served and is a Vietnam Vet.
Now I realize Raul, this is a lot to ask.. but if you would get the developers to make little avatars of you and your team , I would be very proud to make them a part of my farm.... Thank you Very Much for all of your hard work & HAPPY FARMING !!!

[RuralVirologist]

Thank you to Raul and everyone else for their involvement in the fix!! Much appreciated!!

[Queen.of.Clutter]

Just wanted to add my 2 cents ..... the Developers are working on fixing all of these issues, and I just want to say "Thank You!" to them ! Sure, things are a little wonky now, but they ALWAYS fix them .... and we really do have to appreciate the fact that they actually LISTEN to the players ... There is NO other game that does this ..... Granted, it is very frustrating when the game is not running correctly ... but if everyone can just take a moment to think about it .... it's really not often at all that we have problems - and when we DO ... the developers are on top of it. This latest mess is NOT on Farm Town nor Slashkey, but because of freakin' Flash ....... yet it's the Developers of Farm Town that are putting up with all the complaints and trying to find a work-around for the mess ....

Let's all just take a second, think about it, then tell Slashkey "THANK YOU" for listening to us!

Would it be possible at some point to have a check box to turn the red lines on and off?

[StoneFace]

Thank you to Raul and everyone else for their involvement in the fix!! Much appreciated!!

Absolutely. It is awesome what this game will do to keep us busy, happy, and always looking forward to the next enhancement.


Thanks devs.

What and where were (are) these red lines?

[Taz D]

What and where were (are) these red lines?
Hi Momma Woods,
The red lines are the little red squares you see when you hide something on a farm. They are markers of where an item is sitting but is hidden.

[Momma Woods]

Oh I was thinking and looking for something like the White Lines for puttin in the center of roads. LOL

[BarbLH]

RE: "We will also bring back the red lines..."

Don't know if this would work but may I suggest placing a choice to show/hide the red lines in Preferences? That way we could turn them on when needed.

[matrix1272]

To Raul and all the Devs. I know you are working hard to fix the mess that wasn't your fault, and I know you will make this Great Game work like it use to. I just want to say THANK YOU!

I am trying to move trees from one farm to another. When I replant on the farm I want them on they keep disappearing and re-appearing. Sometimes they don't come back and are back in my storage. It also happens when planting trees from my gift box. Today on one of my farms trees that have been there forever have disappeared. They are still there and keep flashing off and on. Is this a problem all of a sudden because of the flash player? It only started doin this a couple of days ago.

Hi jleemundy,
Yes it is as listed in the first post of this thread:
Known Issues

- Bug: When working farms there are some green patches appearing randomly on farms, which should disappear once you mouse over them

- Bug: When moving items to and from storage, it's possible that some of them disappear/appear on the farm when you mouse move over them.

- Bug: When hiding items using the Show options in the preference window, the items usually come back when you move the mouse across the farm.

Once you get them moved then try restarting your farms.

[cocosfarm]

trees sometimes will not hide, but at least houses etc are hiding now when chosen- some improvement

[Darrell Joe]

I am so sick & tired of players griping about the recent issues! Farm Town, Slashkey, and yes, even Facebook are blameless this time. Adobe Flash Player messed with all of us. Our fantastic, creative, and knowledgeable devs are doing their darndest to fix the many issues affected by AFP's update. Too many issues for ME to even contemplate! Yet they're working night & day to keep US playing as best they can. Give credit where credit is due and quit complaining!

[Kathy813]

I, too, appreciate how well Slashkey does with this game! Keep up the good work, please! And thanks to Raul for all the information on the upgrades & bug fixes!

[RickSGM]

I agree also. I don't know much on coding, but Raul and the devs have done a fantastic job. The flash player has even messed up my email, and a lot of other web pages as well. If I use something else besides Chrome browser, the whole internet is completely ape. It's not Raul or the devs' fault.
Adobe has really done a hatchet job this time. They put the axe on a lot for me, that's for sure. Thank you Raul and devs for all you do.

[ellenaussiefarm]

no october update well i hope you least bring a november update i want thanksgiving items

[Taz D]

Hi Ellen,
Due to the Flash Player problems the developers have been busy with trying to fix all of those. I am sure there will be an update soon.

[peekachoo]

I just wanted to thank Raul and the Devs for all the hard work they've put in , sorting out the mess made by Adobe hasn't been easy I don't think. Also, thanks to all the Mods on here who have had to explain over and over again what's happened and relay Raul's messages, you do it in your spare time Mods, and I for one appreciate it, it must be hard for you to bite your tongue some times and not say what you'd like to say.

I'm not expecting a new update any time soon, or thanksgiving gifts ( I'm British so I don't need them ;) ), I just want the game to get back to normal.

I second that - the Mods have the patience of saints - having to repeat over and over again to those who didn't bother reading back.

Keep up the good work Mods and Thank you Raul and Devs for working so hard to put right something that was not something of your doing but Adobe.

[Orx]

I too would like to add my thanks for all the hard work by Raul, the Devs and Mods for their hard work to put the game right after the recent Flash update.

[imcgowan]

no october update well i hope you least bring a november update i want thanksgiving items

Chances are, and I'm just assuming, we didn't get an October update because of all of the issues and problems that are happening with the game. How can the developers give us an update when their are issues that they are still trying to fix? They're doing the best that they can.

[Dutch85]

Thank you Raul and devs and all the mods in the forum for being so patient with us while trying to sort out this mess. I just want to tell you all how much I appreciate your hard work. You can't please all the people all the time, but you sure try to do exactly that! You are awesome and I thank you!

[Pesto Farmer]

Hoping that the problem with putting the facilities in Custom Order will be fixed soon but am sure the developers are working hard on various issues.

[butterbee1962]

I would like to say thank you to the mods and Raul and Devs who have had a stressful time trying to correct a fault which was not their fault. I have had no problem for a few days and really looking forward to the next update, whenever that is. Great job guys and ladies, thank you.

[WyoSugar]

I just wanted to add my thanks to Raul and all those who have put so much into getting everything fixed. I haven't had any problems for several days now. Thanks so much :)

Hi Ellen,
That has already been "whispered" to them. :) We always make sure you get the previous items when a contest needs them.

[maggiel29]

As per Raul on Page 1: -
- When hiding things we removed the red lines marking the spot of the hidden items, they were slowing down the game significantly when dragging and farming in a farm with lot of red lines.[/COLOR]


We will also bring back the red lines, however realize this makes operations like dragging, working on a farm and the game in general very slow, specially if there are too many red lines on the screen. This is why we released a few months ago the "Grass with Guidelines" in the Paths category, which is just a grass with the red lines but do not slow down the game, although we understand this is not accessible to all players because it is a farm cash item that you need to purchase once (35FC) and then apply as many times as you like to the rest of the farms.

Would it be possible to switch off the red lines when a player purchases the "Grass with Guidelines"?

I second this.....Raul and the devs are working hard trying to fix this mess that someone else made. I appreciate all they do. Don't listen to the complainers:p. There are more people who appreciate you than not.

Mods you all have the patience of Job. Good heavens, I would blow my top by now!!! You are appreciated more than you know!!

Let the devs know I don't care if we don't get another release right away. Fixing the problems adobe caused is release enough for me!!!!

You all are the best!!!!! :) :) :) :) :)

SAME HERE! And when someone rushes me,that is when I really make mistakes.How about you? So lets not rush them I can wait for a release.I will have time to add to my coin count.:)

[perryalexander]

I used the big while transfer tool to move flowers on my farm 4 and 5 rows vanished on multiple occasions. This new to me I wondered if it was connected to the flash update! I am on the latest release of windows and the Edge browser.

Hi perryalexander:)

This is one of the problems the developers are trying to fix. You can read about this in the first post, first page of this thread where Raul posts his notes.

Try to refresh the farm or reload the game to check if all your flowers are there.:)

Mary,

I just reread Raul's post multiple times and could find no reference to the Transplant Tool. I refreshed and reloaded multiple times before I posted and even let it cure overnight but the flowers are still gone.

Thank you for your post.

[JuliaK]

well, just on a bright note... I am not having any issues!!!! thank you for a wonderful game.... :) :) :)

[dnana]

Seconding this, thank you all so much! People sometimes forget that this game was a ground-breaker when it came out and it has lasted 6 years with constant updates and NO advertising! Kudos to the devs and mods, you guys have been thru the ringer these past 6 years and you haven't abandoned us!

THANK YOU!!!

I'm sorry, I thought it was the flash problem, but if you cant see them while moving the mouse around the farm, then they are not there.

We will let the developers know about this issue.:)

[perryalexander]

Thank you mam!
