HTML5/WebGL: Game Not loading or frequent crashes

[BigRedDog]

Never mind, it opened...thanx everyone

[Taz D]

still nothing. Where do i go to get the HTML add on please?
Hi BigRedDog,
There isn't an HTML add on. It is part of the browsers. Web pages are written in HTML.


Are you using any add on/plug ins now like an adblocker or one to force Facebook to show in the old format or something else? Those can cause problems with the loading.

You might want to try another browser and see if it will load in that.

[Taz D]

Are we supposed to be missing our avatar?
Hi sportznut,

Yes the avatar has not been added yet.

j just attempted to plow under a small section of wasted crops on my Quest farm and did nt do it because the fi ot telling me what crop it is is beyond microscopic. It is also part of the sizing issue. Not sure if anyone else mentioned this yet.

Hi Riap,
Yes the tooltips when you hover over anything on the farm is included.

[Queen.of.Clutter]

You have the message envelope on your screen? I do not. I'd LOVE to messafe my SNs while in full screen and if that is a new change that is great. But I have no message envelope or any way to send a message in the new version.message

I don't have the envelope in the HTML version (yet) but what I noticed was when I go into full screen I can actually type and see it on the little chat bar under the missing neighbors. I am just guessing that it will still be able to do that when we do get the neighbors back. I am going to test something with another account and see if it shows ... but I know when I am going through the neighbors with the co-op quests, if I message a neighbor that I have the same quest, it goes back to regular screen - and jumps back to the beginning of the neighbors. Inconvenient. Then I have to start over. I am hoping this new version fixes that.

Hi eksda,
The end of Flash is why Farm Town is being migrated to HTML. When you open your farms in Flash, look at the banner above your farms. There you will find a link to try the HTML version of the game.

For that you do not need to install anything new in your browser to play. Right now it only allows you to do farming for crops, trees, flowers and fishing, but the developers are working to add the rest of the functions from the Flash version of Farm Town into this new one.
When Flash ends and that version of Farm Town is removed thelink in the Facebook home page left column will change to direct you to the new version, so nothing will be different.

[rogerthedodger]

be nice when i get my most used tools to the main tool box but like i say to many on f/b pages be patient it will come and i say thankyou all for doing what your doing other games using flash have closed down

[sandgar]

I have been unable to get to the new version as yet. I get the black screen with the box on it and the filler line, then it goes to white screen with farm town across it....and then it goes to a grey screen with a sad face on it. The last time I tried to get in a window came up and it was an embedded page from slash key at slashkeycom says an error occurred running the unity content on the page. See your Java script console for more information. abort at 298.....I checked my Java and I am running Version 8, update 251.

Hi Sandgar,
Please try clearing your browser cache, close and reopen your browser and try again. It may not have downloaded everything correctly.

[PharmerRhonda]

Hi Rhonda,
What do you have your zoom set at for the tab/page? It sounds like you have it set too high?

Thanks! I'm surprised I didn't think of this obvious solution myself (I was just zooming in and out on the game, and not on the whole browser window.) Yes, fixing my zoom complete fixed this issue! :)

[stevet160]

Everything (stats etc) at the top of the new farm are way too small for us old people to read.

[lkendter]

I caught another item missing in HTLM5 version. When I hover my cursor over the boxes showing all farms it doesn't show farm size along with irrigation / fertilize status.

Hi lkendter,
There are a lot of things that are missing as they have not been added in yet. The developers will be working to add all the parts of the game that are missing in this version from the Flash version over the next several weeks. Please be patient while they work on adding the rest of the game in to the HTML version.

Hi Stevet,
This is being looked at by the developers to make things easier to read.

With chrome 51, the HTML5/unity version won't load because it says my browser doesn't support WebAssembly (So clearly, it's not plain html5/unity)

And all a get is a green screen with edge 84.

Also, the font size is just fine with the new build.

[Taz D]

Hi needfor suv,
What you get when you click is just HTML. Unity is only the assembler they have used to create the HTML5 code.
You need to update your Chrome as the latest version is at least Chrome Version 86.0.4240.75 or beyond. I do not use Chrome, but know that it is at least up to that version.


Edge is up to version 87. As you are getting the green screen then it is at least partially loading. Please try clearing that browser's cache and then try loading it again.



When you first load the game it will be slow getting loaded as it has to download all of the graphics for the game to the browser cache.

[sandgar]

Hi Taz, thank you for your reply. When I went to clear my browsing, you had to pick a time. The choices were 24 hrs/7days/4 weeks/all time. I wasn't sure what to pick, so I picked the 24 hrs. and that didn't work. Is browsing data the same as browsing cache? Do you know which one of those choices I should pick?

[suefarm]

DOn't see the thread I wrote and got reply. In reply to you, I have no layers, don't know what they are so that isn't what is causing the game to be so slow. Is this what I can expect when the flash player is gone, a very slow moving game? I will just stop playing if that is the case. I don't even have many farms (13). I see many players with triple that number. I have a pretty new computer system and flash worked fine until the migration began. Now playing with flash for the past month, the screen freezes a lot and I've been kicked off a few times.

Hi Suefarm,
You posted and I answered you in the following thread link where you can find those on the last page of that thread:
http://www.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=650134


As you have had the problem of slow farms and freezing for a month, then it is not something to do with the new version as that has no connection with the Flash version except for the storage of the data when you perform an action.


I can only recommend then that you try all the suggestions in the first post of the following thread link including the items in links listed there:
http://www.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=352666


When you have gone through all those please post in that thread for us to continue helping if the problem isn't solved.

Hi Sandgar,
You should be able to manually clear it, not set up an automatic time for it to happen. Yes the browser cache is the same thing. There are instructions for many browsers in the following link:

Well, it's always nice to blame the user not the game. I never had a problem til I started hearing about the flash player going away. Then suddenly flash player wasn't working well. But not a coincidence according to you. Then trying the new version, again, it can't be you, it must be me. The first thing you said was that it was layers, I have no layers. When that didn't work as an excuse, you said it was my computer. No

Hi Sue,
I don't know what you have on your farms. I can only make an educated guess of what the problem may be. No one is blaming you.
The two versions are apples and oranges as they are not connected, so it can't be the html that is causing the problems in the Flash version.
If you will read the suggestions in the that link it is not all about your computer alone. There are other things that are involved besides the computer. If you will please try checking all of those then we will have some idea of what to look for that may be causing your problems.

:pI am wondering why this link to here was sent to me, when this area is 20 yrs old on the html5 / flash. The html5 version is horrible....and I am not sure, how or when this new 20 yr old version LOL will be done, but everyone loves and are used to the Flash Version. As we all know adobe for some reason wants to get rid and stop supporting the flash, they have made millions if not billions from companies and others purchasing and using it.

:confused:This messes up peoples gaming etc. Please keep the flash version, because the html5 I tried today of the game is horrible, hardly anything showing, and even the nieghbours bar is partly showing, cannot even get to the tool box, etc.
Please don't do away with the main version we the people have been using and used to for years!!!

Hi Patricia,
This thread was only started yesterday and the conversion was only released yesterday. HTML5 is not 20 years old either. It is the latest improvement of HTML.


The Flash version can not stay as Adobe and all the browsers will be removing Flash. There is no way around it. In a few days the Flash version will stop working at all, and not by Farm Town removing it.


I am sorry, but there is no way to keep the Flash version working.
The html version is a restricted version at the moment. The developers will be working on adding back in all the same functions that the Flash version has.


If you can not get to the toolbox then you probably have the zoom for the page/tab set too high or low. Try setting it to 100% and see if you can get to the toolbox.

[redjade27]

Thank you, I did all 42 farms today, planted harvested etc no problems at all. Things are a little different but not much. Fishing takes getting used to. You used to be able to glide over the water now at least what I noticed you have to click on each water, but once I figured that out it was fine. As i said I just hope that work is one of the next things done as I have no idea what I planted or when it will be ready unless I hop over to flash while it is still available Thank everyone for the hard word and making the change. It is much appreciated.

Nooooo, the zoom isn't zoomed in, I have a screenshot when I tried today, and my screen is NOT on zoom... also, I was looking at the dates of the posts... 2009, 2010, etc. And, the html5 version the way it is now is going to make people leave FT, because it is nothing like the version that is being used now LOL :):). The game board is like slowly moving water lol, and the fonts are blurry, and the colors are just off LOL :rolleyes::D

Hi Patricia,
I am talking about your browser zoom. Have your farms open and then click on the options (either lines or dots depending on the browser) in the upper right of the browser screen. In that menu find the line for Zoom and make sure it is set to 100%.
Yes there are posts in the forums all the way back to 2009 as that was when Farm Town started on Facebook. However, this thread you are currently posting in was only started yesterday.
The HTML version you see now is a restricted version until the developers can add into it all the functions you currently see in the Flash version. The developers are working to get everything back to working in this version as it is in the Flash version.
Please have a litlle patience while they work to get Farm Town back to the standard we have enjoyed for almost 12 years.

[bluehair]

of one of my farms the farm is zoomed right out, so no issues for me..for those who have small icons I would say it is something to do with your graphics card?

I can't update chrome because all the ones newer than 51 have blurry fonts, increasing bigger and flatter UIs, which I HATE!

As for edge, it's already got the ugly flat redesigned web forms, I'm not updating it just for more broken stuff to be added.

At least it still runs flash, edge 84.

But i'd prefer chrome for that.

By green screen I mean it loads a blank profile with nothing

0123 credits/coins.


And it doesn't work on my iPhone either the unity version.

(Also, the graphics that have loaded look terrible compared to the flash version. See the walking man thingo as an example, there's just no AA!)

[Aussie Rae]

fyi, the new version loads on all my browsers... Google chrome, Chrome Beta, Edge, Firefox, Vivaldi and Opera. I have noticed on one laptop that the neighbor bar area is smaller as is the print.. but that may be to do with the computers screen size, 13inch.. just a guess..

[Lpeak]

The print is way to small for me to see, hurts my eyes after a while, so back to the flash version for me until is gets blocked, then will have to stop playing if this doesnt go back to a more normal size. Photo is taken at same place on each version flash and new one, you can see the difference. The tool box and neighbours bar are also microscopic. https://scontent-lht6-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/134566234_10224903962604776_5026093493267445032_n. jpg?_nc_cat=100&ccb=2&_nc_sid=825194&_nc_ohc=MBNEkzuF0_gAX-4vu6z&_nc_ht=scontent-lht6-1.xx&oh=9d5d220036d74c8861d06157a20511cd&oe=6013E44A

Hi, thanks for releasing the new game version.

Same on my screen, in all browsers I use all scales are much to small, nearly unable to read. The lower box which fills the whole width of the window in flash now only fills half of it.

[Christy1964]

It was mentioned in one of the Farmtown Facebook groups yesterday that items (ponds & facilities) that are overlapped off the farm will be lost once Flash disappears. I have many ponds that run off the sides. Is this true? Do we need to move items back into the land boundaries?

[Grumpdad]

The problem with the small text etc that a lot of people have been complaining about, a friend had this problem and I suggested that she try it on a laptop with a bigger screen, she did this and found the text much better, so the problem may well be the size of screen people are using.

[vickikcpa]

I have no neighbors at the bottom of my farm - is that normal for now?

[RIAP27]

Boy did I type a mess LOL, Sorry Taz I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say. The lettering that lights up when you hover a tool or cursor over a plot to reveal what crop it is is beyond microscopic. I hope the Devs will consider this when they work on fixing the sizing issue for our toolbars and everything in them. If they d fix that I will be able to play. Hi Riap,
Yes the tooltips when you hover over anything on the farm is included.

Hi Iceberg,
Details please.
Are you using Gameroom or going in through Facebook?

What operating system?
Do you have any extensions for resetting Facebook to old layout or an adblocker running?
What are you seeing when you try to open it?
I am going in through Facebook its the only way I know.

I have a 15" Macbook Pro, still the same, tried all browsers, ipad the same too, doesnt matter if I zoom or not, the ingame icons are very tiny. Wondering if its more to do with Macs or iOS devices, as a friend of mine has a windows laptop and she says although its smaller it is still readable, she could a picture for me and its near normal size to the flash version.

[cbusch0]

When I load the HTML version through Gameroom, I get a green background with 0123 coins and Farm cash. No farms, no neighbors, no storage.

When I try using Chrome or Firefox I get a grey (black) background with a Unity logo and an empty loading indicator.

I am level 1200 with 1446844817 exp, 43 farms, and over 8800 facilities.

Hiya Taz,
I think what the poster is viewing is the year at the top of the post by the poster. It will say Member since if I am not mistaken. I wish, when they have time, make the latest post default, and show the latest date up top rather than member since 2009 etc. That might be friendlier to people who do not visit the forum often. :)
Just a suggestion.
Post note: I see that today is up top with a time...so part was already adjusted before my post.

Hi needforsuv,
I am sorry, but the game will not load correctly for you until you update your Chrome to current versions. Since you stopped way back at version 51 because of blurry text, I would think by version 87 that they would have corrected that. If you still don't want to update it, then I am afraid there is nothing we can do to help you with this.

[RIAP27]

I have a 24" screen on my desktop and a 13" screen on my Surface Pro7 laptop. They run Win 7 and Win 10 respectively, and the icons, fonts, lists, store pages all are TINY. The Surface Pro is worse with the smaller screen but its pretty bad when I can't read it at all, esp the crop identification fonts that appear when you hover over a plot, are excruciatingly small. And FYI Firefox/Waterfox will not load the game on either computer so I plan to add Brave and see how that goes.The problem with the small text etc that a lot of people have been complaining about, a friend had this problem and I suggested that she try it on a laptop with a bigger screen, she did this and found the text much better, so the problem may well be the size of screen people are using.

Hi Christy,
No your items hanging off the edge of your farms will not disappear. Open the new html version and you will see they are all still in place.

[Taz D]

I have no neighbors at the bottom of my farm - is that normal for now?
Hi Vickicpa,
It is the normal for now as the developers have not added that function into the html version yet. They will be working on getting those and the other parts of the game that are missing added back in over the next few weeks.

I am level 1200 with 1446844817 exp and 43 farms.
Hi cbusch,
Gameroom apparently will not work for the html version of the game. Several have reported this. Gameroom is going away in June according to Facebook.
You will have to log into Facebook and go through the link in the left column of your home page for Farm Town.

Hello Taz

I have great problem, the new version will not load on EDGE, just only on CROME. I hope You are able to help
Happy New Year to your all, Thanks for doing a great job.

Greetings Poul Martin,
You may want to check to be sure you have the correct version of Edge. The Chromium based version of Edge is not the same one that came with Windows 10 by default, but it is the best one to be using. For some users it has downloaded and installed with Windows Update, but for others it has not. If it isn't based on Chromium then you can Google Chromium based Edge and find it within the first couple of results. I believe it should also work if you are using Windows 7, 8, or 8.1.

[Taz D]

My game freezes up and I can't see neighbors - Nothing works but farm equipment. I need some help with this please. I can't even close the chat window. And if I go to another person's farm by selecting them from the list of those who helped me, it goes back to Flash and then things are fine again. Oh heavens - I hope you can help me with this!!
Hi Muffie,
Neighbors and any interaction with them has not been added to the html version yet. The developers will be working on adding the other parts including that over the next few weeks.

[Taz D]

Well this morning, using the new version, I was missing a tool, which was FC one 5X5 I think it's the green one. It is extension one which worked on the old version.
Hi Judyxt,
Please try instead of clicking the arrows for combines click and hold the left mouse button down on a combine you cansee and drag it down. This will move the combines list up. Do it again until you can see the 5x5 Ex combine.

I reloaded Brave on my Surface Pro7 and tried to load the new version but it won't go. Bar comes up but stays black. Chrome appears to be the only n browser I have that loads this version and I REFUSE to use Edge or IE. The game always played BADLY on those.

Hi...my linux OS with the Chrome browswer works great with the flash but when I try to use Chrome with the new FT it says the WebGL isn't supported....do you know if this is a temporary thing with Chrome or possibly a permanent thing with linux? I do have the hardware accelerator on as well....Thanks Judy

Hi Riap,
As we are not familiar with either of those the only thing I can suggest is to try clearing the browser cache in Brave and try again. It will be slow loading the first time because it has to load all the graphics.
This is a completely different platform for the game, so Edge may work just fine. It can't hurt to try and see if it does.

Hi Judy,
I moved your post to the subject thread about the HTML version of the game.

What version of Chrome are you using? You may need to see if there is an updated version.
As none of the moderators use Linux, we do not know if it will work on Linux or not, but if you can update the Chrome version then it might work as that should have the updated HTML.

HTML5 version is working great on my laptop. I'm using the latest version of Firefox on a new laptop.

The only issue is sometimes horizontally placed long river sections are displaying vertically. These do display correctly when placed between corner river sections.

Clicked on the new link for HTML version and it only gave me a black screen, tried to re-load but still the same so cannot access farm with HTML version.

[Fuzzy Focus]

I click the HTML5 link and only get a weird looking white box and a rectangle white box on a black background. After 30 seconds or so it goes back to the original version and works fine.

When I tried to use the new version, none of my tools, equipment, trains, ships, harvest were available; nor were my friends/neighbors. I could not find anything. Had to go back to flash version to finish loading my ships.

Hi Angela,
Are you using Gameroom or going in through Facebook?
What browser are you using?
If you are going in through a browser please try clearing your browser cache, restart your browser and try again.
If that doesn't work see if you have any add ons enabled like the one to keep Facebook in the old layout or an adblocker. If you do then try disabling those.

Make sure you browser is up to date. What browser are you using?

[sandgar]

No I don't use gameroom when I play. I go into Farmtown by clicking farmtown on the left hand side of my Facebook page.

should I play both versions until it has been completely converted? Since I can't do anything in the new HTML version yet; and I can work the flash version? Thanks in advance for your support.

Hi Sandgar,
What browser are you using? Make sure it is up to the current version.

Check to see if you have any add ons that might be causing problems, like the one to keep Facebook on the old layout or an adblocker. You will need to disable each one at a time to see which one is keeping you from opening it.

I am using Google Chrome....and it says it is up to date. The Jave version I have is 8 with update 251.

I am not sure where I would check about the layout of Facebook. I am using the new version of Facebook. I do have an adblocker but it is disabled for Facebook.
Hi sandgar,
You should disable the adblocker completely and see if the farms will load. Restart you browser after disabling it before trying to load the farms. Any other add ons extensions you have added may be suspect too as this is a whole new ballgame.

[Taz D]

Hi Earlgrey,
I have a couple like that too. Looks like they got the wrong orientation for both of those. Informed the developers.

Taz, you are such an amazing person! I uninstalled the Adblocker, and that seems to be the only add on that I have. I will try reloading, and hope that it works. Thanks!

[1wolfie1]

*The evil Unity logo that shows in HTML5 on first load helps it APPEAR that the game is loading slower. I don't have a stopwatch, but I think the HTML5 actually loads about the same as the Flash, but it certainly FEELS slower.

*HTML5 version won't retain farm level zoom, always opens at like 5 or 6. Flash version always retains farm level zoom.

*Not a big fan of the baby poo color scheme. The dark green that surrounds the farms in the HTML5 version makes it difficult to see any dark objects like trees positioned around the upper left and right edges really hard to see. Also, the background color of the farm selector grid reminds me so much of something in a baby's diaper that I can almost smell it.

*The grid outliner that shows which plowed fields are being selected for planting is so faint in the HTML5 version that it actually slows down my ability to plant and has resulted in over/under selections where I did not want those.

*The popups for the Store aren't sized properly, and as a result don't click-scroll a full page like the Flash version does. The My Storage popups, on the other hand, DO seem to be sized properly as everything works as expected.

*I DO like the HTML5 farm selector popups for Fertilizing and Watering, as I am a fan of the more complete descriptions of each farm.

*The slanted text in the info popups in various places in the HTML5 version is annoying as it is hard on the eyes.

That is all for now.

wolfie

*Update 1/3/20- Timed it today and it takes about 30% longer to plant my crops. Some of that is due to slow loading of farms, as they tend to hang when the non-working progress bar starts to fade.

*I am all up-to-date and cleared with my Chrome browser.

Hi Granny T :)

The arrows and the mouse wheel work a little different in HTML5, but you can try to hover the mouse on a tool and then click left mouse button to drag that column up and down. See if that helps you to find those tools.

Changing names for the farms will come in a time.

Hi Sandgar,
That is the same address we all have. It is the generic address like the one for the Flash version.
Try when you open your Flash version going to your preferences and uncheck all the "Show" items. Close your Flash farms and then reopen and go to the HTML version to see if it will complete the loading.

Right now you can still use the Flash version to do your selling in the market.

Please be patient while they work to add the missing items to the HTML version.

Thank you for your prompt reply. However, I can not use Flash. Guess I won't be playing. If I have no market I am dead in the water. I will check back every now and then to see if the game is running better. Thanks anyway.. Stay safe! :)

Oh woe, seems I spoke too soon, at least with Waterfox. It refuses to reload after closing the browser and reopening. So far, Brae is cooperating.But I decided to check out my farms, and all look fine. No weirdness in the water as of yet. I think once all the kinks and bugs are worked out this will be outstanding.

Hi Zippity,
It should be safe to buy Farm Cash. The Buy Cash tab does not use Flash or the HTML. It is totally separate from your farms. It will redirect you back to the Flash version of the game though.

[needforsuv]

Hi needforsuv,
I am sorry, but the game will not load correctly for you until you update your Chrome to current versions. Since you stopped way back at version 51 because of blurry text, I would think by version 87 that they would have corrected that. If you still don't want to update it, then I am afraid there is nothing we can do to help you with this.
They haven't fixed the blurry text AT ALL, they only made it worse (as evidenced by edge 84)!

And really, it's a unity game now, not html5.

On windows, chrome 51 used good, sharp GDI. Everything newer is blurry directwrite.


As well as everything else overflattened and oversized!

And edge 84 should work, but it doesn't!

Tried using the html5 version of FT and found it interesting, but I do have some issues with multilayered farms. The farms that use the standard 9 layered farms with each layer having the same crop seem to view fine, harvest fine and work to my satisfaction. However if I plant a farm of 6 layers with each layer a different crop and a shorter harvest time, then I have a confusing display

Hi There, En Español AQUI (http://r1.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=650274)

We just added a link to the Unity/HTML5 version of the game in the header at the top.

We are planning to leave the Flash version as the default version until the first browser block the Flash Player.

As there is no facility functionality yet for you to produce fuel, we have disabled the fuel consumption for all the tools in the game until we introduce the Facilities.

As expected, this is a very limited version of the game, we will re-enable all the other features in the coming weeks.

Please report here any issues you may find with this new version, but try not to use this thread to ask about when the rest of the features will be ready, we will have a separate thread for that.

Happy New Year to you all and thanks for your patience and loyalty during all these years!

HTML5: If I try to plant with my 10x10 seeder into plowed fields with "show crops" unchecked (i.e. crops hidden), the seeder only plants a single field rather than the full 10x10 area.

Hi robert_farnell :)

Your email address was removed for safety, it is not good to post it in an open forum.

Which browser are you using? Is it updated to last version? Did you try other browser to check if it works for you?

Also if you have an extension added to your browser let say to get Facebook in the old version or any other extension added, then please remove one of them, restart your browser and check if the game loads in HTML5.

If you have more than one extension added you have to do the same with each of them.

Hi Bonnie May :)

The first time you load HTML5 version it is slow to load as all graphics need to be loaded.
If you cleared your browser cache then it is also slow to load, same as when you clear browser cache and then try to load the flash version.

Which browser are you using and which OS do you have?
Is your browser updated?

Have you tried another browser to check if HTML5 works in it?

If you have an extension added to your browser you have to disable it, restart your browser and check in HTML5 version loads for you.

If you have more than one extension added, then you have to do the previous suggestion one by one.

The new program looks beautiful and I love it except that the chatbox, the box of icons next to the chatbox, and the boxes of our farms are still too small. I know I put this up earlier and I got an answer. I was told I should change my settings on my computer and that will fix the problem. It didn't. I changed them from 100%, 125%, 150%, and 175%. Everything got bigger. Absolutely everything except the chatbox, the box of farms, and the icons next to the chatbox. Is there something else I can do? Or is this one of the things still to be adjusted? Thank you.

Hi Robin,
There isn't anything you can do to change the sizes. This is just one of the things that will be worked on.

[CeejayF]

I realize that ya'll have your hands full with this mammoth project but PRETTY PLEASE to the powers that be, try not to let us wait too long before our Super Neighbors can lend a hand again. Farming is a tough job on one's lonesome ya know? Also, why such a dark and dreary background? ;)

Hi jcloud,
I moved your post to the Announcements section thread about the HTML version.
The transplanters have not been added into this version yet.

[momhebert]

WOW!!! HTML version is exciting. I was planning on buying a larger truck/chainsaw because it was taking forever to chop trees but this new version is so smooth that I guess I can hold off until the rest of the features are uploaded. :) Everything is working that is suppose to be at this time.

The only thing I noticed was that the fishing boat isn't pulling the fish up as fast as the old flash version. Guess I may need to upgrade my turbo fishing boat a few more times :confused:

I want to thank the devs for doing all the work to keep this game up and running after flash is gone :D And the mods for keeping their cool and helping everyone out to get up and running :D Glad the mods are so patient with everyone ;) I'm trying to be patient for more stuff to come back online ;)

Hi photon :)

Which chrome version do you have and which is your OS?

Did you try other browser just to check if the HTML5 version loads?

Can you play using the flash version?

[photon]

I am using Google Chrome 87.0.4280.88 (Official Build) (64-bit)

My operating system is Windows 10

The game works with FlashPlayer.

The game seems to work with Firefox. My farms loaded.

Hi Photon,
Check to see if you have any add ons in Chrome that you are using and try disabling them one at a time, restart Chrome and then see if it will open the HTML version.

[JacToo]

Thanks, Taz.
I did increase the size of the entire browser and found the rest of the page got bigger, just not the text. I will work with a magnifier for now. I am glad the devs are working on this because my eyes are not quite antique but are definitely somewhere between collectible and vintage.

[photon]

I turned off all the extensions on Google Chrome. That did not solve the problem.

Hi Photon,
I don't know why then and we are not sure what else to try. All the other moderators are using Chrome as well as many others and they have no problem with getting into it. I use Firefox myself and don't have any problem with it.


Edit: Try restarting your computer with the extensions turned off and check if it will load then.

I have the same problem with horizontal waterways suddenly appearing as vertical waterways... on my Farm 16 both a narrow river piece and a long river piece are effected.

Thank you developers or Taz or whoever fixed the narrow river. This afternoon (EST) it was completely missing. Now, it's back in horizontal position as previously placed. Looks good. Can we talk about the Long River? It remains in vertical position, also on my Farm 16. Probably the same problem with a different object. Thank you for all you're doing to keep us going. It is appreciated very much.

Stay safe, stay healthy, God bless you all.

Hi,

I am not sure if this is correct place to post this issue with the html5 version of the game.

I use a combine to harvest crops but once selected to plant I get a message saying unable to plant but all fields are plowed and ready for planting.\

Other than this issues all seems good and much faster

Hi Robert,
The link you provided is the generic link that takes everyone to their own farms. Going to your farm and copying the address does not work as that is a generic link that takes us to our own farms. The automatic linking does not work either so you will have to create one and paste it here in a reply. Please follow the instructions on how to do that are in the following link:
http://www.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=645850 (http://r1.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=645850)


Do the fields show as plowed when you hover the mouse pointer over them? Are you sure you are picking up the Combine for harvesting Plowing and Planting?

Hi Alan M,
You should not be seeing errors from Flash version if you are loading the HTML version.



Please try another browser and see if the HTML version will load in it.

[RebeccaG]

Hello,
I am unable to access the new HTML5 version on my Chrome browser. I have the latest version and have disabled extensions one by one to no avail. My OS is Windows 10.
I can access the new version on the Microsoft Edge browser though. But I don't use that browser. I prefer Chrome.
Any suggestions what might be the problem?
Thanks,
Rebecca

It is so very slow to open the game. Very slow to load each farm. It is very FAST to harvest and plant. I know you guys are working overtime around the clock and thank you very much for that. You wanted feedback with any concerns. stay safe and well ever one.

Hi Mariam,

How long did you wait for the HTML version to load before you stopped trying it? First load can be slow especially if you have everything checked to show in your preferences.

Try going to the flash version, then hide everything in your prefrences, make sure you click the green check mark to save those, then try the HTML link again.

Speed improvements are still coming, so if you still can't load the HTML version that way then you may need to wait for those.

[marymarcel]

Hi all :)

In case you have not read the main post yet, Raul has updated it with the following information:

Post Release Updates - January 3rd, 11:45PM

- Fixes for fonts on most texts and screens, adjustments when zoom in/out in the browser

- Heavy farms should be faster to drag and operate

- Speed increase in most tools

- Keeping current tool selected while switching farms

- Activate Info Tooltip in Store with Stored amount (dans and belts info still missing)

- Tool Box changes:
a) Mouse wheel only scroll 2 places (like flash version)
b) Arrow scroll only one page (like flash version)
c) By default, when you open the tool box, it auto scroll to the bigger tools (like flash version)

- Bugfix: Fixed an issue that blocked the ability to use some crop tools after having used other crop tools, for example, using the Plower after Harvesting the farm.

[BethFB]

If the other games did what Slashkey is doing, they would be still up instead of closing down. We need to be thankful that Slashkey loves this game that they created so much that they are migrating over to a new platform and I like the new platform.

Thank you Slashkey and all the techs! We love you!

Hi Myci :)

The first time you try to load the game using HTML it last a while as all graphics have to be loaded.

If you wish, go to your flash version and uncheck everythig for Show.... in your preferences and then try to load HTML version again.

If that doesnt work for you, then:

Which browser are you using? Is it updated to last version? Did you try other browser to check if it works for you?

Also if you have an extension added to your browser let say to get Facebook in the old version or any other extension added, then please remove one of them, restart your browser and check if the game loads in HTML5.

If you have more than one extension added you have to do the same with each of them.

[UltraVanna]

I cant run the html5 version on puffin or google chrome, not sure why it wont work on my machine, is there something im missing? Vanna

[lkendter]

Glad to see the first update already.

I didn't have the problem (27" monitor), but hopefully this cuts down on the font size complaint. That seems to be the #1 issue in these pages. Based on the time of the announcement sounds like the crew is working crazy hours to get this working.

[KnittyGirl]

YAY!! Thank you so much Devs! I CAN SEE THE BOXES AND PRINT!! No more tiny print!! You guys and ladies are amazing and you have made me a happy woman!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Looking forward to playing again!!

Hi Dr Dirt,
As in Flash version not everything updates imediately. If they did then your operations would slow down.

[Gail Green-jeans]

In anticipation that the game features may take "a while" to become fully operational, I am clearing up my storage (crops, trees, etc). As I can tell right now of the new platform, we will not initially be able to tell what we have in storage, sell product, or use the feature that tells you what amount of ingredients that you need to fully fill facilities. We WILL be able to plant, harvest, fish, and do flowers, trees. I guess my question is if my storage gets full (and won't be able to actually see what is in storage)..... what happens with the "extra"?

Hi Gail Green Jeans,
You can see what you have in storage and even the percentage of storage used. You are correct we are not able to sell any currently.

As far as the extra we do not have any information as to what will happen at this time. Hopefully the developers will get at least the neighbors and markets available soon.

Thank you Taz. My habit is to keep a level of 2 years of all harvests in my storage. I have gone thru and sold off tons of it and am backing off harvesting flowers, trees, etc at this time so as not to refill my storage and then lose things that are especially valuable to me (in case flash vanishes at a point that is not exactly convenient for my tabulations).

Also... when I looked at my html version this AM, all the stuff that was too tiny to see yesterday is full-sized today. YAY!!!!

Hello. If this has been asked and answered, I apologize for asking again. I am very happy with the new version - and I know it will keep getting better.

Hi Early Girl,
We have noticed a difference too, but do not know why. This is something the developers will have to look at as they add functions into the HTML version.

Personally I would lower my amounts in storage to somewhere around 85% or less just to make sure the storage does not get over loaded.

[Early Girl]

Thanks Taz - I'll try and get it lowered. Heck I was proud I got it down to 91% ;-)

I read through this thread then decided it was time to try. Before hand I unchecked all options through flash, like trees, flowers, ponds, facilities. I checked to see if I had any extensions, add-ons, through Mozilla. After restarting the browser, I tried to load my farmtown in HTML. After a long length of time, at least a half of an hour, I am still just seeing a black screen with a white logo. Anything else I should be aware of. I still have that tab up.

If you have more than one extension added, then you have to check each of them and one by one following the previous suggestion.

Firefox is the most recent version. I do not use Gameroom. The cube is spinning on WebGL. No extensions on my browser. Every thing even crops has been unchecked. I have tried again and let the tab open a long time to try to get HTML to load FarmTown with no success. I will keep playing through Adobe until that stops working and then...well...
Hi Santmyer,
Check your options in Firefox under the Privacy and Security, at the bottom of that for HTTPS-Only Mode. See what you have it set to. If it is HTTPS only mode in all windows, change that to don't enable. Close the browser and restart it then try going to the new version. Let me know if that worked.


Also, please try a different browser such as Chrome and see if it will load in that.

I went into Firefox settings and it was already set at don't enable. I then closed Firefox. I opened up IE/Microsoft Edge to see what happened and the HTML opened up almost immediately. I closed out of it. I have not used IE in years and do not feel comfortable using that browser.

If you think of anything else I can try through Firefox, I am definitely open to advice. This long time player wants to keep playing. I will continue to play through Flash and concurrently try HTML until that option is gone.

Hi Santmyer,
Since you got it to open in IE, try restarting your computer then try again in Firefox. If you have Edge not IE then it is a much better browser than the old IE. It is actually a Chrome based browser.

Does your Anti-virus program have a plug in/extension in your Firefox? If so try disabling it, restart and see if that is blocking part of the HTML version.

Hi Kevat,
I have loaded it on my Samsung android phone and it worked. Only problem I found was it would not expand. Need a microscope to see anything.

[Aussie Rae]

not complaining, just want to say that on one laptop the HTLM5 is fine, but on another and my 25" desktop, the neighbor bar, text etc are still small .. hoping this will be resolved in coming weeks, thanks to the devs for all their hard work and the mods for their super patience with everyone who posts here.. you are doing a great job.. congrats..

[kevat508]

Ah mine stops when Farm Town writing is on the main screen but i can expand it no problem Just need it to load further Oh well thanks Taz I will keep trying to amuse myself maybe put more memory in.

Hi Aussie Rae,
For the ones having the small text check to see what build it is in the address bar. Should be build=20 at the end of the address. Try restarting computer and then reload to see if it has updated.

Hi Kevat,
It may depend on age of your phone. Mine is a brand new one.
Could also be the browser you are trying to use. Run the link in the first post here for checking WebGL and see if that browser supports it.

YAY, it said build 17 so I replaced the 17 with 20 and it reloaded and now the neighbor bar and text are fixed, you are a star Taz, :) thanks so much.. :) :) :)

[kevat508]

Browser is google and I have ran it from the link and it supports it. The phone is about a year old I am guessing it could be the memory and it is just taking to long and it times out and gives up. to be honest i don't know much about smart phones still learning as I've only had this one for about 3 month but dont laugh still use my Nokia 6310i from 2002.

Keep getting several errors when I try the new html5 site. One of them is error 298 at slashkey.com, however there are many other errors on the list. Tells me to go to java console but there is nothing there but code. How can I get the new version of farmtown?

[Gail Green-jeans]

My question may be premature... I have an Ipad and an Iphone that I have been using Puffin browser to play Farmtown on as both of these devices have never supported flash. Do you know if Farmtown will now be able to played on these devices using Safari when the crossover is finished?

Hi Gail Green-Jeans,
No I am sorry, we don't have any information on that. You can only try it and see if it will open. I do know my version 4 would not open it in Safari as the IOS and Safari versions are too old.


Tried to download Firefox and the current available version is too new for my IOS

Hi Taz, I went through your list of things to do if you are having trouble loading the new version. I was able to see what I was supposed to in #1,2 and 3...but on #4 it did a snap and I reloaded it but it did it again, and it said error code: out of memory. So that is as far as I got on your list...but I did try #5 chrome://gpu...and there is a lot of information on that page, but I wasn't sure what any of it meant...and there are items there that are enabled and disabled and unavailable. So I still can't get the game.

Hi Sandgar,
Please do #5 again and try to list those here as those may tell the developers what needs to be done.


What operating system are you using and how much memory does your computer have?

Like Edmo I got the gray screen with the sad face when trying to load. I ran through the steps and saw all the stuff- rotating cube, sky, desert, farm with ship. This is what my computer says:

Hi texans,

Yes, you can still use the Flash version, only the link was removed to make room for the troubleshooting link for the HTML5 version. If you wish to go back to the flash version, all you need to do is go to the link you normally use from Facebook.

ok everything worked til i got to #5,6, and 7 in the suggestion trouble shooting page.... how do i check to see if i have an extention... sorry but im computer illerate

[needforsuv]

Farms still don't load on facebook - edge 84 (green screen), HOWEVER, following the steps, the demo farm hosted on your own site works fine.


This means that the unity side is fine, but whatever happens on the facebook side isn't.

Hi Keith,

Initially, it looks like the fuel is being used, but if you notice, the fuel gets put back once you have finished. Effectively none is actually used in the end.

Hi Tripod,

Each browser is different, I use Chrome, in that, click the 3 dots in the top right of your browser, select 'More Tools' then click the option for extensions. You'll see a tab open which will show you if you have any extensions installed.

If you're not using Chrome, please let us know so we can look to see how to access the extensions on your particular browser.

[Santmyer]

More information to add to my previous posts. So far #1 & #3 work fine. #2 & #4 are not working for me. I am using the Firefox Browser and have done all suggested so far. Hope this helps narrow down the issue.

1.WebGl Support:

https://get.webgl.org/

If you see a rotating cube, your browser supports WebGL.

2.Simple WebGL/WebAssembly project:

https://w3.slashkey.com/flash/farm/m...ets/index.html

You should see a blue sky with a couple of icons.

3.Unity WebGL/WebAssembly tank demo game:

https://files.unity3d.com/marcot/tan...736.1609800030

You should see small tanks and buildings in the desert.

4.FarmTown game with demo farms and no compression/caching (slow to load, please be patient):

https://w3.slashkey.com/flash/farm/m...oDC/index.html

You should see a green ship under crop fields.

[dn36@embarqmail.com]

Hi, after reading the forum, I get none of the displays as described. I get a single green farm with no other items. 0123 numbers under coins and cash, no function at all in any aspect. Thanks! I know you are working on it.

Since thread wasnt left open for discussion and found no other threads to report to...

Hi John :)

Yes, if your flash is still working then you can load your farms in flash version.

When you click in the link in the banner to try HTML5 version and you want to go back to flash, just close your farms, go to facebook and click in the link in the left column :)

[Rina van der Westhuizen]

Hi there, I can load the test demo's up to test point 4 where it stops at the name Farm Town. Nothing further, no farm or the ship etc.

Hi Rina,

If it is Chrome please do the step for 5 and post results here.

[peekachoo]

OK, as I've posted before HTML5 is working fine for me on Chrome. But it's not working on Firefox, so I did the step test and I didn't get steps 1,3,4 and 6 loaded as you said they should, but steps 2and 5 did, so my farm loaded on compressed details. Hope this helps in some way . Thanks to the Mods and Devs for their continued help.
