New Release -- September 26th, 2015

[NJones277]

Everything seems to be working very well. Two minor issues - lines everywhere (sometimes, not always) and it's very hard to harvest/plant under the weather decorations. Other than that, kudos to Raul and the devs. Thanks for making such a fun/addicting game and for all the hard work over the past years. We'd send you a cookie bouquet if we had your address. :)

Hi NJones,
The lines is part of the Flash problems. They are annoying but can still work with them. For the weather decorations you can turn those off in the preferences to be able to work under them.It has always been hard to work or see what is under those.

[NJones277]

Thanks Taz!! Not complaining, just updating. I think you guys deserve some kind of medal. Never thought to turn off the decorations. Duh!! :)

[Qivis]

I agreed with others who said that things were still a bit off last night, but this morning everything looks like it's functioning normally. So while I am not surprised the next update has occurred - after all Raul et al have been quite busy trying to fix the issues created by the Flash update - I am surprised this thread is still open!

[earlgray]

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 too have taken advantage of the red lines when planting trees and flowers - they've been a huge help. Maybe in the future it could be a preference whether to show or hide the red lines; that way they can be hidden for speed, but when we want to take advantage of them, we can choose to sacrifice the speed.

PS - the "grass with guidelines" option does not serve the same purpose, since it does not show where you've actually planted trees or flowers. The red lines help us know if we've missed a spot, or gotten things out of alignment (for those of us who are fussy about such things!). Thanks.

I agree with you, those lines are the ones that let me know if I missed a spot between trees and flowers, but even with the red lines the game is working perfectly this morning... Thanks Raul & company, like I always say you guys rock... now about the new release..... hint, hint, hint...

Time to close this thread? :)

[Darrell Joe]

even the manure spreader is behaving! I carried it through 21 farms-it didn't go invisible and fertilized EVERY farm! YEA!!!!!!!

[Petuniaflower]

I never had a day I couldn't farm,through this Adobe Flash problem. There were a day or two ,the game really had me hopping,but it didn't stop me.I just harvested flowers,and there were the lines.I stopped to hide tree's using the tools,and the lines disappeared when I started up again.I am pretty stubborn.The only thing that would have stopped me from farming ,was if I couldn't have loaded my farm at all.

I am impressed that all through this problem, all the basic farming operations kept working for me. The only real problem I've had, and still have, is things disappearing or appearing when they shouldn't. Hiding things, and searching for things, are the primary instances. Also when I take something out of storage, it tends to disappear until I mouse over it and move it, after which it's OK. Makes it a bit hard to do some of the decorating. I'm sure you'll get these glitches figured out eventually. But little else has been problematic. Kudos to the developers!

[boduke66]

Just fyi for everyone,Thanksgiving items are out now,unknown if there are any new items or not

[Qivis]

I am in the smaller testing group according to a yellow banner above my game, and so far things look like they are operating quite well - or would if I could get the little hair off my mouse without touching the sensor!

[theperfectnina]

I am in the smaller testing group according to a yellow banner above my game also.

Every time I move my mouse over anything it disappears, then I hide all trees as I move the mouse they come back. This is very annoying especially when planting trees (I'm forever planting trees) it makes it very hard to see where I left of or if I've missed a spot, been going on since this last upgrade. I have been patient but thought I'd better let you know this is still happening just in case you think everyone's back to normal :-(

Thank you for your feedback. Please continue to report here if you have any further issues

[Texas Belle]

I am on that small group too and up to now everything is fine, except with the hiding, still disappearing and appearing act.. it looks like it is a little faster moving from farm to farm, and harvesting is ok too. Harvested crops, trees and flowers this morning with no trouble at all.. will report is anything else comes up..

[Taz D]

Those in the test group when your report please also list what browser you are using as some of the problems are browser specific. Thanks for your feed back.

Hi Im in the tester group.

Im getting the green patches appearing and disappearing - thats been happening all day. It seems to only happen after I have harvested (trees, crops or flowers)- doesnt matter if I use a combine or a large tool or not or whether I replant crops or not.
Other than that the game seems to be working quicker.
I tried to take a photo but the green patch vanishes as soon as I select the camera. Its not really detracting from the game tho just odd.
Only had a quick go of a few things - will try more tomorrow.
I use Windows 10 and Chrome browser.

[al_bundy]

Graphics looks much smoother and fast no problems found

only issue sometimes items hide when you put mouse near them and unhide after hiding them

[Aussie Rae]

I have found that if after harvesting trees, click on preferences, uncheck them.. then check them again.. then uncheck a second time and they are gone for good.. until of course you tick them to harvest again.

[StoneFace]

Also part of those with the new version....

WF 5

Chrome Browser

Loading was about the same until I got to my Facility Farm #6

I hid trees, and then un-hid.... no problem
I hid facilities and then un-hid.... no problem

.....except that the decorations disappeared, with the red squares as if I had hid them

All the boxes were checked, so I un-checked decorations and then re-checked them.

Had to restart to see the tracks, trains, fencing etc.

[Texas Belle]

Those in the test group when your report please also list what browser you are using as some of the problems are browser specific. Thanks for your feed back.

My browser is Safari and my server is WF-4... I have an IMac and the OS X Yosemite upgraded now to El Capitan..
version 10.10.5

And I do not let flash upgrade by itself, I do it manually and through Mac..

[Qivis]

Thank you for your feedback. Please continue to report here if you have any further issues

I just did discover an issue. One of my neighbors is trying to sell me some of his crops that he does not have the factories to use and after I click "review offer" that process stops and I am unable to complete the transaction.

Hi Qivis,

What steps have you tried to resolve this? Any specific crop or several? We'll try testing it.

[Qivis]

Hi Qivis,

I had him refresh the game and we've both cleared our FT caches and the Adobe Shockwave settings, and I have even rebooted my computer on the off chance that something weird with either Windows 10 or AVG Antivirus (or both) is going on. And this happens in Maxthon, Chrome, and Opera. I've also had him try selling me a variety of different crops, trees, and flowers.

I also had another neighbor try and the same thing is happening.

Hi Qivis,

Thank you for your information :).

We've tested selling with both users on the test version and from one user on the regular version and one user on the test version and have found the problem. At the moment you will not be able to buy from anyone or sell to anyone. My apologies for this, we will let the developers know.

[Karin Venables]

I'm not getting my email notifications for new posts any more. Is that also something these new glitches affected? I miss keeping up. BTW thank you for for all the hard work the developers have been putting in.

Hi Karin,
Check in your User CP for your subscriptions and see which threads you are subscribed too. Also check your spam folder in your email and make sure your email hasn't marked those as spam.
If you are talking about getting an email after you post in a thread that is only good for one reply after your post. You don't get an email after that one reply.

[WendyP57]

Hi, I'm not part of the test group that I have been reading about but I have a problem I thought worth mentioning anyway. All of my requests have disappeared and I know I had several hundred before they vanished as I hadn't cleared them for a few days and I have very generous farmtown neighbours.
I usually collect about 6 to 8 pages of 50 requests on each page every few days.

EDIT: requests came back after a couple of hours

[sylvie48uk]

I don't know whether it's connected to the flash player or not, but I can receive gifts today but can't send any back. I could send them one at a time for a while, but now none at all.

[maggiel29]

OK - I am one of the players with the new version.

Ive been playing for the last 2 hours trying different things and the only things I have noticed are:

Green patches appearing seemingly at random after I have worked fields harvested plowed etc - as I mentioned in a previous post.
Trees that vanish after I have harvested crops or trees but come back temporarily when I mouse over them - this doesnt seem to happen to flowers and I can only recreate it with shaking trees and not chopping ones.
Neither of these really detracts from the game - as I said its just odd especially as I can recreate them on a farm and then go back to the same farm and it doesnt happen!
Also I tried hiding trees and getting the red lines and then making them visible again using the preferences menu and panning over the farm was achingly slow as you said in your comments Raul. I do wonder if for the future having these lines appear could be an option in the preferences menu maybe?

I am using Windows 10 and Chrome browser.

[beverduster]

i noticed the flowers, crops & the trees went much smother than before, getting close , it was so smoth i thaught i was behind a singer sewing machine, on or was on servor & i use chrome

[Zeeky Banutski]

Any update on when we'll see the next iteration?

[dave1949]

How do I know if I am being used or helping with the testing?

[NJones277]

Not to add anything to your plates, but...when the game releases new gift items, I can't send the first one. Right now it's Thanksgiving Sign Decor and still the Gardener with Hedge Trimmers from several releases ago. Not really important, just interesting.
Thanks.

[maggiel29]

OK just got another issue with the newer version - sorry Devs :(
In the old version when you do anything plant, plow, harvest you got shadow versions of the crop etc with place holders. Then there was also a lag until it cleared - usually you had to use the tool twice before the items appeared fully.
In the newer version the items are much more ghosted out so they are nearly invisible.
This is a little bit of a problem when plowing from scratch as you cant see where to put the next group of fields until the first lot has appeared fully and this often doesnt happen quickly until you use the tool again.
I hope this makes sense. I tried several times to get a screen dump or a photo using the camera but it doesnt show up.
I will say the new version is much quicker both in waiting for items to appear fullya nd in panning over farms.

[StoneFace]

There will be a banner (like a New Release notification) at the top of your screen when you go to your farm

[L.A.Bob]

I attempted to Request Ingredients from my friends. I clicked on the + but no window opened up but the clicks registered. I was attempting to post a request for petrochemical (green) barrels ingredients. I attempted this several times with the same results. No window opened and none of the requests were posted. Now I have to wait 12 hours until I can attempt to send requests again. I am not worried or upset about this I just wanted you to know so that you could pass it along to the developers who are doing a fantastic job coping with the Flash created problems.

Hi Qivis,

Raul released a fix for the buying/selling issue. See if it's working for you now :)

Hi Dave,
If you are part of the test group you will have a message at the top of your farm saying so.

[therealpopcorn]

Still having issues of mouse with a mind of its own, lag, scrolling, and taking me into the 'green wasteland'- way over into it! now it has cost me an FC and bunch of coin not to mention not being able to just plant and play. i get on do the steps to my quests if i can...fed up for sure.

[cocosfarm]

Hi Dave,

I am not in test group but all is well on my farms. Thanks for your work on these changes. Love the game and appreciate your support and help. Good job!

[Texas Belle]

My report today: I have harvested trees and flowers and like Maggie said it leaves a ghostly appearance of the trees and flowers behind, but no problem for me, if you swirl your mouse over it it disappears, so cool...
Have a friend that is having all kind of problems harvesting all and worked her farms and had not problem at all just the same as if I were doing it on my own, so the problem is on her side.. (She is on server WF-36, lives in the UK)
Only other thing I've noticed is when I go to get the Shaker or the Chainsaw it takes a while for it to show and take off the trees that don't need the specific tool, like the computer is thinking what works with what... other than that the new version seems to be working fine at least for me but like I stated I do not have Microsoft browsers and my browser (Yosemite/Safari) is working perfectly.

[beverduster]

the only thing i can tell thats different, the game seems to bog down a little, but when i refresh it is running like a singer sewing machine

[1769]

I was checking the ingredient planner when I noticed that the Silk Worms had been disappeared, then I opened the Textile factory, all products checked but in the ingredient planner the Silk Worms was grey, inactive and on mouse over showed that I have plenty silk stored, the factory also starts all products ok. Two more friends have the same problem but with the Llama Wool.
The issue is that ingredient planner ignores it as an ingredient, please check this.

Hi 1769,
If you don't have the box checked in the textile factory to start the silk textile with the start all tools then when you look at the ingredient planner for the textile factory the silk worms will be greyed out.

[theperfectnina]

I am one with the sign up the top that states - You are part of a small group of users running a new version of the game, please report any issues in the forums.

No matter how many times I 'hide' say trees or flowers as soon as my mouse moves they come back, this drives me crazy as I am trying to plant trees and it just makes it near impossible to do as the trees are still visible. I've mem cached, refreshed everything and all the same out come.

I've recently moved from using a desktop to a laptop, the tree thing above did the same on each one, I've only just started using the laptop and I'm not sure if this is the reason but the game overall seems slower, not sure if it is a coincidence or not.

It does take longer to load clients which it never did before, even just emptying them, that was with the desktop too so I think it might not have anything to do wih the laptop.

When I'm standing on a farm and want to check say the flowers, it takes nearly the double to time it use to, this is farm I have around 50 flowers on so shouldn't use up that much data.

Nothing else to report, the hide not working and slowness are the main issues for me. Hope this helps fix whatever the issues are :-)

Just realised I can't send ALL gifts, I can accept all then it acts like it is going to send 'all' back but it just thinks about it to the point I just reload again, I am NOT able to send individually, will just skip it all together now

[Qivis]

I have only the occasional problems with the Small Test Group Version similar to what ThePerfectNina reports. Much of the time it seems like it is working fine but then I change the Preferences and sometimes the game works perfectly and only occasionally items I have switched off are still appearing. The glitches seem inconsistent.

I also had a neighbor who said she could not open the chat to see what I said and she is not in the test group. I have tested the chat box and have been unable to duplicate what she told me, but I thought I would report it nevertheless in case it is more than one of the old glitches that appears now and again.

And I was able to buy again from my neighbors this morning, so they got that problem fixed nice and quickly.

Is your mouse wireless? I ask because mine was doing that this morning until I replaced one of its batteries. :)

Hi, I can't send all back gifts from My Request, when I hit Snd Gift Back to All, the box opens up, and keeps loading and loading, nothing else

[NJones277]

Everything worked really well today. I did have to clear memcache after about 8 farms to keep up the speed. I saw the lines only on a couple of early farms, then didn't see them again. Making progress guys. Keep up the good work. :)

[Taz D]

Hi, I can't send all back gifts from My Request, when I hit Snd Gift Back to All, the box opens up, and keeps loading and loading, nothing else
Hi JW,
Are you trying to send back the first gift in the list? That gift will not send back at all and keeps loading, regardless if you are sending it back to 1 or all. I just tried, but not with the first gift in the list and it worked fine.

[cgsfarm]

I have seen the Thanksgiving decorations, but what are the other upgrades, when are they coming?

[Taz D]

I have seen the Thanksgiving decorations, but what are the other upgrades, when are they coming?
Hi cgsfarm,
Only the developers know what and when. They are currently still working on the Flash update problems. The Thanksgiving decorations you see are the past decorations. Nothing new has yet been released.

[maggiel29]

OK I am part of the group with the new version and I got a message to say it had been updated at 7.30pm EST.
Sorry Raul but it is worse! I hate digging up problems I was hoping you had conquered the problem!
1. Lots more blank green patches
2. When plowing, harvesting, seeding anything there has always been a time lapse between clicking on the item and the screen refreshing. This used to be slightly dimmed out and wasnt a problem visually. Now the items are almost totally invisible - this is huge problem when plowing from scratch as you cant see where to put the next block of fields and there is quite a lag between a click of the tool and the display refreshing.
3. When plowing the new lot of fields sort of bounce off the ones already there - it is really difficult to get the next lot of fields close in line to the ones already there.
I have just planted crops and have some trees etc nearly ready so I will see what happens with the tools working those.
EDIT
Get the same with trees, flowers and seeding crops and planting trees.
The trees and flowers almost fade out after planting so you cant see where to put the next lot.
I am getting green patches seeding crops and chopping, shaking and harvesting flowers/trees
Just waiting to harvest some crops but I expect it will be the same.

[theperfectnina]

I agree with most of what maggie has stated, it is very weird to harvest and have ghost like images of what you have just worked on. Plowing from scratch takes so much longer as for some reason the lagging is quite bad, so we are forced to wait to ensure that we made no errors.

The last couple of days everything was back to normal all I had was the box when I harvested but it went away as fast as it appeared.I am on wf37 and I use Opera and windows vista. I just left my farm partially harvested, I gave up!When I try to move the farm it is all over the place. I was on chrome but a couple of weeks ago I lost it all together would not load. Not in a test group but wanted to let you know!

[Cgs]

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 is still a major problem for me. I cannot move items to storage using the bulk tool I purchased. This makes it impossible for me to change my farms around the way I like. In his post, Raul implied that this was being addressed and would be fixed soon. I am going to have 200 Clydesdale horses looking for a barn very soon.

[StoneFace]

W5, browser is chrome

Only issue so far this morning is using the combine on a wasted field.

Lots of pauses, and the crops temporarily disappear as I replant, then reappear about 10-15 seconds later.

i have this same issue but all i had to do is reload that farm and i was able to use the bulk tool normally

[Texas Belle]

On the testers group...

Server WF4, browser Yosemite

I am pleased to report that "it seems like old times" my farms are working just like before.. still when you harvest crops you can see little squares with nothing on them but as soon as you hover over them they disappear and you can see what you planted, I always use the combine.. trees and flowers harvesting and chopping fine too.. and happy to report too that it is faster moving from farm to farm... I am a happy farmer...

[SeniorCornwall]

Would be nice for developers to add a comment as an update to the beginning of this thread.... Last update was end of October... Know more work has been done, a test group selected. etc... but no formal update... :(

[beverduster]

the gift thing is working good again, no pause or hang up

did the crops with out any problems

did trees with out any problem

fishing was good

no flowers were ready

noticed you updated again, working lots better than what it was from last night\servor 37/chrome

[maggiel29]

On the testers group using Chrome and Win 10

Saw there was another update to the new version - fixed the plowing invisibility problem thank you so much
Still getting the green patches when working as reported before but they arent really a problem they go pretty quick when you mouse over them
Everything else seems to be working OK and it is much faster than the old old version
Thank you for your hard work

[dofford]

When do you expect to release this month's update????

[Taz D]

When do you expect to release this month's update????
Hi dofford,
They will not release it until the Flash problems are fixed. It is close so keep watching. That said, the developers don't tell us when, they just do it when they are ready. :)

[beverduster]

just worked a friends facs, run like a singer machine, i have no complaints with the game as of now

Hi Senior Cornwall,
Only Raul can do that and they are busy combing through the code trying to get it all fixed before releasing it to the rest of the players. That is all I can tell you.

[Taz D]

Raul has just added:

Post-Release Updates - November 6th, 8:50PM

- We are making progress, we estimate a new version with some optimizations and bug fixes will be released early next week, and the official next release with new features and facilities by the end of next week.

[SeniorCornwall]

excellent - an update. Thanks

[cookiescooking]

Thank You for the great work with this game. So happy to hear this. I have lost 3 neighbors in the last two weeks.. They can not produce enough fuel and always had plenty but once the bugs in the game they lost their fuel supply.. I sure hope that bug gets fixed... Thank U for the UPDATE!!! =)

[maggiel29]

I have the test version, running Chrome on Win 10

All working perfectly - no green patches no invisible fields cant see any probs on my game. Thanks Devs for your hard work all that code YUK!

[beverduster]

Hi Bayou,
Check your post and and look to see who it is going to. It should be to your friends, public, or a friends list if that is what you use. It may be that has changed and be why they are not seeing your post.

[Snookie Sue]

Raul & company, Could you perhaps just release the expansions to the last farm? That way we could keep on keepin on and send you more cash/dollars?

[Tom C]

My super neighbor said that while harvesting he got green patches showing up under the harvested plots, said it did not slow him down any. I was moving fences out of storage to decorate my farm and they kept disappearing and then coming back.

[Qivis]

Although it does not seem to effect the users of the current build, if there is another farmer on the same farm as a tester the testing farmer is slowed down - and in the case of a tester using disability assistance there is delay going from autoclicking at 5 clicks per second and moving the farm around as the planting, harvesting, etc. catches up. None of this happens if the tester is the only one on the farm.

[StoneFace]

Only "problem" I seem to have now is that for the last two days it has been slow, SLOW, SLOW playing in FT.

I think my avatar, and my tools are now union members.... lots of sitting and watching, and working just a few moments at a time.:eek::eek:

Are you using the regular build or do you have the small yellow banner referring to the Small Testing Group? The testing I did with normal farmers that are working really hard seem like rank and file employees and there are times my Test farmer seems like the Local Union President! :D :p

[Qivis]

Of course it should be noted that the only time I have run into the Test Version running slow the last couple days has been when someone else is on my farm. But with over 1300 farmers in my friends list that is very likely to occur since a lot of them look me up and work from the day before's factory post unless I delete it.

Hello .. I think I may have lost the plot

I open the Facility Manager, harvest the animals, store all completed products, fill all normal Facilities and the Services.

I then noticed that my Diversification Rank was less than its Best and so went looking for the problem by sorting the Facility manager by Utilisation

Went down to the bottom and found the lowest one to be the Taco Restaurant and opened it and then clicked on the Shopping list. The shopping list shows nothing needed (I remember if something was not at 100% there used to be a red number for the number required?).

Did something change and I missed the notice?

Hi FarmerWitch,
For your Taco Restaurant and others that are not filling to 100% please open them and make sure you have a check mark in all the products. If there isn't a check mark in a product then the Ingredient Planner will not show any items for that product as needed.
Also, I always turn production off (unchecked) to keep quests from finishing the last step until I am ready for them to be completed and that will lower your diversification.

Hi Taz ... all are checked

[StoneFace]

as of this morning....

farms that are part of the test version..... very slow

farms that are not..... very slow.

hhmmmm:confused:

[bjyhey3]

My farm has been lightning fast for over a week now and I'm not part of the test version. Running on MacBook Air OS X Yosemite. Everything has been working quite well...

[StoneFace]

Test farm with W5 is noticeably faster than non-test farm on W4

[Texas Belle]

My report on the test version. All is running smooth, nothing to complain about and speed normal, not slow.. have been able to use combine, the holes or windows that come in are after I harvested and planted so no problem with that, I can see where I am going... flowers and trees whether shaken or chopped working fine.. happy farmer..

Server WF4, browser Yosemite w/upgrade to El Capitan... computer IMac OS X...

for some reason, the game is dragging bad, refreshed, still bad, , was running like a singer sewing machine yesterday

Hi Jean,
Your farm can change server location without any release. The servers automatically balance out the load to try to not overload any server depending on how many people are on.

Ok thanks...my friend said he had a banner across the top of his farm saying something about a new release. I was thinking WF 5 was a new server. People said on here they were testing that one.

Hi Jean,
There is a select group with that banner who are testing the upgraded version while they fix all the bugs in it. As soon as it is ready then it will be released to everyone. This is the update (not relase of new items) that they tried before but there were too many bugs still in it so they went to a smaller group to test as they fix those. That is the posts you see here for new version.

[MNWildOne423]

As great as it would be to have a new release, making sure everything works right to enjoy the game is most important. Thank you to Raul and his team, the moderators and the testers out there who are getting it right for all of us.

Hello ... is there any news on my problem?
Hi FarmerWitch,
Only thing I can tell you is to 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.
https://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/p...lear_memcached (https://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/play/?do=clear_memcached)

Sometimes the ingredient planner does not catch up or read correctly. The developers are aware of this. I have found that sometimes when I am filling that some facilities do not completely fill if there is a shortage somewhere ( mine is usually flowers). When that happens if I click play and then open and click the start all again it will finish filling.

Hi Taz, I have done all of the options you suggested and still no change

[Taz D]

Hi Taz, I have done all of the options you suggested and still no change
Hi FarmerWitch,
If you are saying the Ingredient Planner is not changing this is a know issue. Nothing I am suggesting is going to fix that if that is what you are expecting. The items not showing are not the same for everyone, so not going to be easy for the developers to pin down.
For you actual filling problem try what I suggested of clicking play and then go back in and try filling again.
If that doesn't work figure out which items are not filliing in the Taco Restaurant or others that aren't filling and see if you are missing any ingredients by using the question mark on them.

I had the same problem and it was the shopping list showing incorrect amounts.

To check for the correct amounts and if you are missing any ingredients, follow the steps below.

1) fill the Taco Restaurant

2) Open the restaurant

3) Click a product. You will then see one of two messages.

For example " You can only have up to 2400 x tambourine pending on this
facility, equivalent to 15 days of pending production"

This means the item 100% full.

Or you will see a pop up box that will in form you of any missing
ingredients.

4) If you get the missing ingredient box, go to your storage, and search for
the ingredient and it will show you the correct amount if you have any in
in stock.

Re Test Version
I dont have any option to use the multi planter when moving trees from the gift box. I get the menu with the choice of orientation but then it just goes straight to the farm with one tree.
I used this a few days ago when I first tested the first test version and it was working then.
Well how strange - Ive planted a few single trees and the multi planter option appeared now!!! I will keep trying it to see if I can recreate the problem.

Hi Taz ... If it helps the Devs in any way ...it seems to be happening only in the Restaurants

[Marlene F Djebara]

WF39, chrome user,
I cleared memcache and rebooted,
checked chrome for an updates I have current version,
My mouse is still doing the same thing for almost a month dragging so much the game is a snails pace...I haven't been able to harvest, plant or much of anything since Oct 17th :(
I check everyday to see if these issues have improved but nothing works anymore, I barely can do coop quests because it takes forever to go through.
I understand some have seen improvement so why is mine still impossible to fix :confused:
Can one of the developers please check my game personally? Perhaps if they do a fix can be made, otherwise sadly after 6 plus years I will have to give up on my daily addiction :eek:

[LazyMare]

First off - thanks for the new thanksgiving decorations - they are fab :D

Secondly I haven't had much spare time recently so haven't read the rest of the replies in this section - just reporting that the search and hide still isn't working despite reverting back to previous release

I like being able to show just one specific item on my somewhat overcrowded farms

Am sure the Devs are working hard to fix things so happy to be patient

[bjyhey3]

Something new...when changing farms (in full screen mode) the whole screen turns white. Nothing else seems to change.

[beverduster]

the crops cut good, but the game wont go on full screen for me, so in the meantime its nap time

[Qivis]

I've found no trouble with the latest TEST VERSION at all this morning - nor now that is afternoon! :p Only I did note something that has occurred for nearly 3 years now that appears to have fixed itself. I have harvested, fished, chopped, etc. for multiple farmers today that normally have had a few stray flowers and trees leftover when using the large tools. And I have not had to switch to smaller tools for any of them. Nor have I had to blink the eye to get crops to be click-able. Way to go Raul & Company! I assume these repairs have been deliberate... The only trouble is jealous friends.

on my report that i couldnt expand, well i opened up another window, & it fixed it self, for the rest of the game, have no complaints except i still cant find 12 super hens

Well I think the problem with the multi planter is finding the right spot on the "multi" box to plant trees from the gift box or from storage. A little too much towards the edge and you only get the single option. Just have to watch what I am doing.

I AM getting disappearing trees though which come back when you mouse over them. Its not really a huge problem as everything else is working wonderfully - so please dont delay things looking for the reason unless anyone else has a problem with it. It only seems to be at the edge of a farm usually the top or the right hand edge

[Original Tee]

i can't line up new plots exactly with old plots anymore. it's offset just a bit for some reason. this means if i want all of them lined up i have to redo the entire farm. i tried various ways to line them up but it always seem to be a pixel or so off. i've never had this problem before.

update: i tested other farms and found the same would happen on most of them. here is a link to my farm 9 that i plotted. if you look to the top right of the plots you'll see that they are off by just a bit. http://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/play/?farm_id=1135852169&farm_ix=8

2nd update: this morning this problem resolved itself. must have been part of the issues we've had since flash updated. yay!

New Version Tester - now let me tell you something that came up this afternoon and it not on the farms but those of you who have chrome and let Adobe upgrade flash anytime they do an upgrade, there is a new upgrade to flash today, it says that this one lets the developers fix things on their games, but I would not download anyway... just in case those of you who have the automatic upgrades check and see if you have version 19.0 because that is the upgrade number, you might want to hold on the upgrade until all this mess goes away or until Raul says its ok to download, just a precaution so we don't have any more bugs than we need to, keep those critters away from here..

Hi Texas Belle,
Just to clear up one point. The Flash version prior to this update is 19,0,0,226. This one is 19,0,0,245. With Chrome you would have to stop it from updating the whole browser as it is all integrated.

[Snookie Sue]

Yesterday or the day before Raul posted on the end of his feed that we would have most everything fixed and some upgrades soon, as well as the new release at the end of the week. The message is gone now, sigh. Have they come across another big obstacle? Will remain patient - and very grateful that I only experienced the slowness at the beginning of this mess and one truly horrible day when they were trying to do something about the red lines. I do think that everything was a bit speedier starting this morning. :) But also don't particularly like the bright white screen when the farms load. Thanks so much for all your hard work. Can't wait to start throwing some farm cash the devs way. Could we please just have the expansions to farm 28? ;)

[Snookie Sue]

All of a sudden I can't get the lists to load when I try to send gifts. Can't boost my trains either.

Is it just me ??........ I just now went into farm and notice that font has changed ?? - I did not change or update anything..........

[Taz D]

Raul just posted this.

Post-Release Updates - November 10th, 10:00PM

- 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, Intel Core Duo 3GHz CPU.

- Multiplanters do not show progress bars or transparency on trees or flowers anymore, this makes easier planting the next set of trees with the correct alignment.

- We also fixed most 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.

- Removed the green patches that were appearing randomly while farming

- Fixed bugs that caused items to get hidden when moved from storage to farms

- Fixed bugs related to moving animals to item storage or sheds

- The behavior of the red lines when hiding items is exactly the same as it was before

- The next release should probably come by the end of this week

Known Issues

- When Showing/Hiding items sometimes there are sections that are not shown correctly
- When using the Multiplanter sometimes some of the recently planted items get hidden
- An hour ago facebook made an update that broke the 'Show FarmTown Wall Requests' section, we expect they release a fix soon for this, or we will try to find a workaround on the next few days.

Please restart your farms before reporting any issues.

The font is slightly different in the new flash development version.

Thank you........ I am a little confused as when I point mouse to things - lets say farm I see for example ✿farmname but when I actually go to that farm I dont see the ✿ but again shows when I put mouse on farm ??

also friends names are a mess, I receive a gift/item etc and it says received by B......... the rest of name is missing ???

Hi

getting a lot of flash unresponsive notices from today

[tassydevil_1au]

I have a 16 gb ram intel core I7 computer and it is absolute **** for me. I have shadows for about 10 seconds after I harvest each tree and keep getting flash crashes and connection errors. Looks like another fix that hasn't worked !!! It is also as slow as watching grass grow

[Lara]

I noticed the update about the farmtown requests but even worse all my friends facility requests which I was going through have now disappeared off my own newsfeed. How is that going to work. I am off to try and visit their own pages to see if they still show up there

[1FishWife]

I just attempted to "add to storage" using the tool for the first time since last week and whhhooop it's working properly again, thank you for the fix!

what's happened to my farm town wall requests? for 2 days now it says there is no requests on the news feed wall. i still have to reload the farm when i bring trees etc up. my screen now flashes white and all bonuses in my gift box are from people with gobble do gook names. patience, you say, but it just seems to get worse.

I still see "green" patches when planting....they are not actual grass showing with no plots....just a light green under the pending lines. I can live with that. The green patches with the plots missing did not happen at all!!!

I harvested some trees and flowers this am......no problems at all. Seemed a little faster!!!

I stored some stuff on my storage farm and nothing disappeared when I placed them from storage. And they were all easy to pick up and move with my green hand. Last night it seemed the graphics changed and were kind of fuzzy and I could not pick up a couple things for the life of me. It was all sharp graphics this morning and no problems at all!!!!

I picked up a few trees with my transplanter and nothing disappeared like before.

Thank you all for your hard work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You guys are the best!!!!! :D :D :D

[PK...]

Thank you so much for fixing the bugs! Search was back to it's most useful self this morning... You guys always come through! ;0))

[Clockworx]

Thx for the new version of the game, seems like we cooking on gas again

[RoseArienh]

I haven't had as much trouble farming as some (I think I have a modest sized farm, so that helps). I did have the slowness that most experienced, but that cleared up pretty quickly for me.

But today!! It was like my farm went HD! I like the way quest menu and facilities menu look. They seem more vivid and clear. And farming was even better - harvesting, plowing and planting were just as smooth as silk.

[bjyhey3]

Not complaining...just informing

For the last week my farms were loading lightning fast...today, however, after memcache and restarting it is back to loading slower again.

[Lpeak]

Working trees on my farm is now so so quick, best its ever been, thank you. When I Harvest/seed on a neighbours farm its fairly quick too but still have problems doing anything with my combine on my own farms, always a lag when I drag the field to move the tools, may be something to do with the progress bars which I dont get when working friends farms, but was working a bit better last week but today very slow going.

[Shellgirlmtl]

Just an update from my end... I didn't have too many issues before the fix of last night except for the hidden items appearing and disappearing... After the fix, it is running smoothly, love the new font displays, the text are clear & bright, very pleasant to the eye... there is still a slight, but I mean slight issue with hidden items appearing & disappearing, really slight, almost unnoticeable... Overall it's a great fix... Thank you Raul & Devs for all your hard work and let's not forget the Mods for being so patient and helpful in answering all our concerns... Kudos to all... :D

[Snookie Sue]

Well that mess was certainly worth it. Everything was so much faster and smoother today. Saved me so much time. Also, I used to have H/P/S issues under my clouds (which I use to hide non-decorative factories and facilities) and they are now gone too. Needless to say I am very happy. Amazing job devs - really appreciate it. Thanks so much. :) :) :)

[Petuniaflower]

One thing one of my farm titles disappeared. No biggie except it is my farm Stoneface gave me the name in Japanese. I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT I CALLED IT:confused:

[SeniorCornwall]

Sounds like we are ready for the new release :)

[Qivis]

Thanks for all your hard work Raul & Company! Anytime you want to have me test another build before bringing it online for everyone, I'll be glad to be one of your guinea pigs again. Rotten timing on Facebook's part with the glitch for the posting lists, but then y'all have no control over that. :)

*and yes, an Upstate New Yorker just said "y'all!" I guess it shows I really should have moved to Virginia. :p

[Qivis]

Sounds like we are ready for the new release :)

I would agree if it were not for Facebook changing something that broke the post link in the My Requests tab. It would be nice to have new stuff, but I think they should get a work around in place first.

Plus they've been really, really busy working around the Flash update. So maybe they haven't been able to work on the coding of anything new.

I agree, they have been doing a wonderful job trying to work out all the kinks in the game. I haven't had any problems, and I'm grateful for that but I sympathize with those of you who have had issues. I would be pulling my hair out if I had them. The other thing is I appreciate all that the developers do. It was good of them, in the middle of all this mess, to make a few needy players happy by putting out the old and then even new Thanksgiving decorations. When ever they put a New Release is fine with me.

[Clohar]

I just noticed that at the right buttom side of the Farm Town game frame the little house to navigate faster from one farm to other doesn't appear anymore. Is that a bug or the new reality of the game with the latest updates.

Thanks

Hi Clohar,
That only appears when you are on someone else's farms or in the market. It is for going back to your own farms. Are you not see it at those times?

Am I the only one finding I now see no requests for help on the Farm Town Wall Requests?
Think this just started today. Any ideas as to what has happened?

Hi mehansen,
Everyone is having this problem. Facebook made a change and it broke the link for that.

[Taz D]

Raul has sent an email saying they have released a fix for the problem you are all having with the farm not loading completely. Please restart your browser and farms to try this. If it still doesn't load the please 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.
https://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/p...lear_memcached (https://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/play/?do=clear_memcached)
This will force the server to reload your your farms.

[rocker grrrrrl]

There are definitely changes here that I can see... When I am logging on to the farm, the page that says "loading wheat" (or whatever I have planted) is in a different font, and my experience points are bolder than they were before. Subtle changes, but changes nonetheless! :D

[JohnAlbertini]

Who gives a hoot about font or bold while the game is continually malfunctioning? No posts show up, ghosting interferes with harvesting, things appear and disappear with cursor scroll over, etc. Fix what is broken and give us back the game we've had previously before fiddling with "subtle" ****. THEN how about an overdue update before changes that affect nothing about playing.

If you look at the first post in this thread you will see they are doing everything you asked them to do. Some issues take time to fix but everything is being worked on.

[kahra01]

Wow.. am I the only one that never had a problem the whole way through all this? The Devs do an amazing job with this game! :D

[SunnyD]

Post-Release Updates - November 11th, 8:00PM

- Fixed an issue that caused malfunctioning of the game for some users, like game not loading, flashing quest icon or gray tools in toolbox.

Known Issues

- When Showing/Hiding items sometimes there are sections that are not shown correctly
- When using the Multiplanter sometimes some of the recently planted items get hidden
- An hour ago facebook made an update that broke the 'Show FarmTown Wall Requests' section, we expect they release a fix soon for this, or we will try to find a workaround on the next few days.


The fixes they did yesterday has fixed it now so my sister can see her crop notices on how long until they whither.... yahoo...TY Raul and team ... now she will leave me alone LOL

[JAS0643]

I have not had major problems but I have had the green patches when planting and harvesting but that is not a big deal to me. I have also had the trees come back when I hide trees by type like all apple trees but not hide all trees a little annoying but not a big deal they will get it fixed. I like that they are keeping us updated on what is going on early on in the game they didn't do that and it turned a lot of people off. Most people will be okay with waiting for stuff to get fixed if they know it is being worked on so I do like the updates they give now.

One thing I would like to see in an update is maybe an option to show or not show the red squares when you hide stuff. I like the idea of not seeing them. I know some want them for their own reasons and they can come in handy when planting rows and rows of trees/flowers but other times no need to see them so an options to show/hide them would be nice.

[Clockworx]

Don't know if you guys are aware of this but can not seem to boost my trains. The little facebook screen comes up and that is that. just stuck at loading.

Hi Clockworx:)

Have you tried another browser to check if you are able to boost them? Also, are you able to send gifts?

Please 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.

https://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/play/?do=clear_memcached

If memcache doesnt work for you please provide the following information:

WF number, you find it when you open the chat window, it is in red
Operating system
Browser you have used.

Thank you:)

[turbo terry]

I reloaded farmtown
I refreshed page
I cleared memcache
I cleared browser

windows 10 - bing is browser

I seem to always be on wf38 which also keeps getting Uoo errors

[marymarcel]

Hi max_river:)

Were you able to work their farms or only your tools in the shortcuts were showing up but you couldnt use them? Thank you:)

[Qivis]

Gifts are working for me in Chrome, but Opera first shrank the farmer selection box with each farmer selection and then when I went back to select another 50 farmers to which I wanted to send the box shrank all the way down to just the "Done" button. And clearing the FT cache and Adobe settings files accomplishes nothing. Since I used to be a helper I already knew about trying that. Anything else I might try since it's been a couple years now? Or should I just wait for Facebook to behave?

Looks like gifting is working correctly again now that it's a few hours later...

[NJones277]

I, too, have had very few problems, and nothing serious, throughout this process. Can't wait to see the next release!!

Suggestion - we need someone to design a t-shirt that we can buy and wear - especially the long-timers.

Thanks again to Raul, the devs, moderators, and everyone else that's working on this game to keep our addition alive. :)

[Dallace]

I am still having things disappearing when I take them out of storage. Not sure about the plots as I haven't planted in a couple days. When I open facebook none of my games show up on the left side. I had to go through a neighbors post to get to my farm. But I know that is a facebook problem.

Hi Dallace,
Yes that is still listed in the known issues about the disappearing things.

[marymarcel]

Hi all:)

From Raul's notes for the New Release

Post-Release Updates - November 12th, 5:10PM

- We just released a workaround for the 'Show FarmTown Wall Requests' problem, old posts are not available anymore, from now on, when your friends post something, you will see it.

With this new change by facebook we do not have access to the manually entered custom message anymore, so if your friend entered a message manually when posting you will only see that message on your facebook friends feed but not on the 'Show FarmTown Wall Requests' page.

[Aussie Rae]

I reloaded farmtown
I refreshed page
I cleared memcache
I cleared browser

try to boost and facebook page sits there loading

windows 10 - bing is browser

I seem to always be on wf38 which also keeps getting Uoo errors

I think Bing is a search engine, not a browser, lol. also if you have windows 10, make sure you do a Disk Cleanup on your computer, you will find this in your start menu..clean up system as well as it will clear all the junk windows adds when it updates..

[Taz D]

Thanks Raul & Team for all you do but my Farm Town is not working great. Same problems as before.
Hi Judy,
What problems are you having? Have you updated your Flash Player or if using Chrome updated it to get the current Flash?

[Janet 1]

Sorry to all the farmers who are still having problems but I'm flying along tonight so thank you to all the hard working devs who have been sorting things out. Hoping for the new release soon please.

[cgsfarm]

with respect to the former show farm town wall requests, how do we get them, the button for refer clients, work farms, send requests, is gone. please give instructions on how to work neighbours farms, etc.

Hi cgsfarms,
The buttons you are talking abvout were not in the Show Wall Requests. It has always been the "Click here to help" or "Get bonus" out to the right side.
If you are talking about those in the Newsfeed those were changed by Facebook and all you need to do is click in the box of the post, but not on Play.

Hi Turbo Terry,

I rarely use Edge as its just an upgraded Internet Explorer browser for Windows 10, I have Chrome, Edge, SRWareIron, Firefox and IE and still find Google Chrome the fastest and best browser for farmtown.
One thing to know, if you have a Solid State Drive on your computer, Never do a Defrag as that can damage your computer and make it slower. Defrag is fine if its not a solid state drive.. but doing a regular disk cleanup will speed up your computer by eliminating rubbish that accumulates on it... not necessarily from anything you do, but from what the computer does..

[margaret cavill]

Thank you so much Aussie Rae for the info. I have a ssd and weeks ago with the ft problems b4 they were posted I did a clean disc and a defrag on my ssd as ft was working so slow. After you posted I googled it and I so should have never done that with my ssd. Got to love that ft will teach you how best to take care of your computer and how to play ft. Have learned so many basic computer skills playing ft. over the last 6 years.

[Kathy813]

A small thing but now when people respond to my bonus postings, their names are incomplete when I look in my gift box. This is only happening for sent bonuses. Regular gifts have the sender's names full and correct.

[anotherfarmer]

I notice font has changed - when I point mouse to things - lets say farm 1 - I see for example ✿farmname but when I actually go to that farm I dont see the ✿ but again shows when I put mouse on farm ??

also friends names are a mess, I receive a gift/item etc and it says received by B......... the rest of name is missing ???

[turbo terry]

thanks taz and aussie rae - funny how everything was working fine until facebook made their changes - slashkey made their changes - one feature that involves facebook no longer works and it must be a problem with what I am using.
