Hi John,
The neighbors part has not been added yet to the HTML version. Please read the first post of this thread to see what is avaialble in this version currently. The developers will be working on adding in the additional functions we have in Flash over the next few weeks.

Hi inarey,
I have moved your post to the News & Announcements section thread about the HTML version.
The Neighbors part has not been added in the HTML version yet. You can see what is available currently in the first post of this thread.
Please do the tests in the following link and then report the results in this thread:

Hi John,
As I said the other parts of the game will be added as they work on them over the next few weeks after they can solve the loading problems. This is why you can still use the Flash version at least until Flash is disabled by your browser.

My farms started going wonky not showing crops in Flash, so I suspected something as going on, so so I switched to HTML and OMG the icons! ARE NORMAL! WELL DONE! I am happy! Tomorrow is my eye surgery and once I recover from it all by months end I look forward to the new version for sure now.

Hi rockcandymountain,
You do not get coins for harvesting. You get the crops to use or sell.

The manure spreader is available and working. When you get the screen be sure to click in Select Multiple Farms button to be able to select which farms you want to fertilize.

Hi Riap,
Greyed farms are already fertilized or irrigated depending on the tool you are using. The clear background ones have not been done.

It does take a long time to load the first time as it has to download all the graphics for the game.
Also please try a different browser to see if it will load it that one.

Hi Riap,
No everyone should be using build 20 which has the larger text and items. If that is not the version she is on then have her try the memcache and then reload. If it still doesn't change to 20, then replace 17 with 20 in the address.

One can find this under settings, cookies. Or, when in Facebook, check the address bar and to the far right you will see an eye icon. Click on that and click to allow third-party cookies. This solved my loading problem and hop it helps someone else.

Hi Pgold,
I know a couple players that can load it in Safari, but not in Chrome, so it really depends on setup and version of your browser.
What version of Safari do you have? Is it the latest version?
Have you used Safari for playing the Flash version?
Do you have the cookies and pop ups allowed in Safari for Facebook and Farm Town like the settings in the following link:
http://www.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=625118
Safari may set them up differently, but those are the ones that need to allowed.

I use Windows 10 and have been able to open the HTML5 version using both Edge and Opera browsers. When I open the Items Storage and select Animals or All the pictures for the animals are not showing but their names and quantities do show. That is the same using both browsers. Certainly not a priority but think the developers should add it to their list.

I use Google Chrome and have also tried Microsoft Edge and can't get to my farm clicking on 'Try HTML5" Funny thing I gave my password to a friend and she went on Chrome on her computer, got into my account and accessed my farm under the new version and went right to my farm and saw everything. She sent me a screen shot of it.
I'm getting so frustrated that I might lose everything. I did what the instructions said to do if I had trouble getting in and this is what came up:https://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/?build=20
Ok 1, 2, 3 & 4 work for me. The things mentioned we should see do show up for me.
5&6 say I should see my default farm but it takes me to a generic green screen farm with nothing on it but some coins and FC which are not mine. I will try to post a pic of it. No luck in posting pic. Don't know how to do it right.

Your friend was able to get to your farms because their Chrome is correctly set up.
For 5 & 6 at least it showed you the farms. It could be you were not logged into Facebook when you did those tests in which it would not know your ID to show the correct farms.

Hi 46bill,
Then it is possible all the graphics didn't download for you. Please try clearing your browser cache, restart your browser and then reload the game.
Edit: II am sorry, I just checked again and they are missing. I know they were there in earlier builds. They may not be there now as those are animated and none of the animation has been done yet.

When I load the game, I see my default farm. I have nothing in the neighbors bar. I can use my tools and water my flowers/irrigate my farms. Looking good, I hope.

Okay, I figured out which that I have an extension causing the game to not load in fb with the HTML5/Unity/WA version
Its one I kinda use to enable classic facebook on many pages.
But 1 problem is that there's no avatar and you can only view 1 'block' at a time
Also, the graphics aren't as sharp or clean as they were in the flash version (see icons, etc.) and the fonts are a bit too wide (as well as big in the context menu)
Left is flash, right is unity

Have you tried a different browser to see if it will load in that one?
What are you getting when you try to load it in Firefox?
Do youy have any add ons that you have added?
I went to the Firefox Add-ons Manager and this is what I found:
OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc. (disabled)
Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google Inc. (disabled)

Hi Rina,
The developers have worked on the loading problem with Chrome, but not on Firefox. I use Firefox and have not had any problems except early on in the testing and it wasn't related to anything in Firefox. I have been looking at Firefox trying to find a difference, but have not seen anything yet. Please be patient as we continue looking into this.

Also twice now when planting and moving to farms my laptop has totally locked up in the extended mode and had to turn laptop off and restart again, not sure why this should happen, but will try only in the normal view now.

The developers may have been working on Farm Town for years before it went public in the first place. The moderators on this forum are volunteers who are helping others out of the kindness of their hearts and may not know either. :(

When you use a tool, you will see the fuel decreases but then it will show you the same amount you had before you started working.

Hi bayoubes :)
As it was informed this is a restricted version of the game. You can work your farms yourself and do same designs if you wish.
But other features, like factories, neighbors, quests etc will be added in a time and after being tested.
You can close your farms in HTML5 and go back to facebook home page and click in Farmtown to the left.
You will probably get a blue banner saying that flash is not longer supported, but your farm should load to let you continue working.

Hey Denise,
I even got the banner for another game that has been using only HTML5 for several weeks now. I suspect Facebook is popping it up for any games that have had the ability to run in Gameroom in the past since that too is ending in a few months - whether they still run in Gameroom or not and whether they have a Flash Player version anymore or not.

I moved your post to the announcement thread about the HTML version.
Please read the first post of this thread to see what is available at this time in this version. The developers will be working on adding the other parts of the game into this one over the next few weeks.
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.
I think the game is doing great. The men have worked around the clock. Each day it is better I am able to plant harvest VERY FAST, as for the being able to work post are post our own it will give us a rest. I am happy with what these men are doing and have done. GOOD WORK GUYS.

As all neighbor functions are not include yet then super neighbors are not able to work in the HTML version yet. As long as the Flash version is still available then they can work through that.

Hi seafever,
I see several things that are wrong in this. Are you using a laptop or a desktop computer? If a desktop computer does it have a graphics card as the drivers may not be up to date on it and that can disable the Hardware Acceleration.
Major ones are OpenGL being disabled and WebGL being software only. All the things below where it says Problems Detected would also need to be corrected.

Hi laurakal,
Do you have any browser extensions that force Facebook to revert to the classic look? we have found that these extensions will prevent the HTML5 version of Farmtown from working and give you the green screen. You would need to disable those extension in order to play the new version. Unfortunately, at the moment, there is no way around this.

I just did some jobs on a farm in HTML version and I still have the same amount of fuel.

Hi photon,
I am sorry but once you uninstall flash you can't use the flash version anymore, so you are going to have to wait until the developers have had to time to get the other features back into the new version before you can use them all again.
We understand you're frustrated, you're not the only one wishing everything had gone smoothly and everything was already there.
All I can tell you is that the devs and everyone involved in testing the versions you don't have yet, in order to get them out faster, are all still working hard at it.

Hi Seafever,
Raul has come up with a link for you to check for Hardware Acceleration. Google the following:
How to Turn Hardware Acceleration On and Off in Chrome
Sometimes this could be disable due to driver issues. You will have to research that on your own.
However, other times it may have been disable for other reasons, including manually doing it for some tests and don’t remembering it, so you could always try to reenable it manually, according to their browser instructions.

I also went to IE/Edge and did the diagnostic tests through that browser. All #1-6 were successful.
I am firm about playing through Firefox because of it's attention to security. Please let me know what else I can try through Mozilla.
As of today I can no longer get #1 the spinning cube to work through Mozilla Firefox. It was working yesterday. #2, 4, 5, 6, have never worked for me. #3 tanks has always worked.

Hi Santmyer,
Unfortunately we don't have any fix for Firefox at this time. The only thing I can suggest right now is to uninstall it and reinstall it, but that might break your Flash.
Firefox did do an update yesterday, but I am not seeing any difference for either Flash or the HTML versions.

Hello everyone. I do realize that HTML is in its first stages and allot of functions are still not available. One of the functions that is available is that you can BUY MULTIPLE and add trees to a farm which I tried today. Since HTML is in the troubleshooting mode and still being fine tuned, I would like to make this very useful suggestion.
You know when you purchase multiple items and drop them on the farm, there is a little message that goes above the item saying how much it cost you and how many xp you receive for that particular item. The problem in HTML is that the message *coin cost and xp gained* is right above the area where you land the object. Then you can't see where you are landing the object which brings up the next message pop up *tree can only be set on grass* or whatever and that message goes right on top of where you land the tree (in the way in other words). I found that most of my trees I couldn't land in the proper area because of the pop up messages being in the way.
QUESTION: Is there any way to move the pop up messages higher up on the tree so that it is not where the trunk is or near the trunk where you deposit it on the group. Thank you kindly.

Hi AMonet,
I have moved your post to the News & Announcements section thread about the HTML version.
Right now minor changes like this are not being made as they are working on getting the major parts of the game back into it and having the game run smoothly.
If you want to make a suggestion, please post it in the Suggestions section where we organize those by subject for the developers to see.

Hi Orcalinda,
Flash is still working if you have not deleted, so you can still do all of the functions in it.
In the HTML version all the tools for harvesting, plowing and planting crops, harvesting your trees and flowers and for fishing are available.
The rest you will have to wait with the rest of us for the developers to complete adding the other parts to the game.

Good morning. As of the update on 1/3, selected tools would remain selected when changing farms, but for me (using the harvester) it only works for the current farm and then 1 additional farm. 1/5 update was to correct storage difference between HTML and Flash, but mine have never corrected. As a matter of fact, HTML storage is now showing 99.9%. (I know I have too much and am planning on a massive sell off). I am running Windows 10, using Brave. If there is anything I should try - I'd be happy to. Otherwise, just wanted to let the devs know. Thanks to all you mods for all the excellent help :-)

Hi Early Girl,
The crop tools have not been set to hold between farms. This is set this way so you know when you have gotten all the crops on each farm. The only ones that will do that is for trees, flowers and fishing.

Your friend was able to get to your farms because their Chrome is correctly set up.
For 5 & 6 at least it showed you the farms. It could be you were not logged into Facebook when you did those tests in which it would not know your ID to show the correct farms.

Hi Stu3,
Converting the game from flash to HTML5 is not a simple task, and can't be done quickly. It is a very different language, so it takes time to convert from one programming language to another. We have to test the new language before we can release it and make sure there are no bugs in it. This takes time. Please be patient while the developers get the other features working, it will not help anyone if we release a version that has errors and bugs. We are all in the same situation.

Hi Sue the Tyke,
The new HTML5 version is a restricted version, many features are not available at present, but will be restored over the coming weeks. Fuel, will appear if it is being used, however, when you stop working, you will notice the fuel is getting added back, which in effect, you're not actually using any fuel.
We are all in this situation and have to be a little patient until the full game is restored, which in my opinion, is better and faster and potentially will allow more features that were previously not possible in flash.
While Flash is available, you can continue to do ships, trains and all the other features, which is why we left it running, we will continue to get as much restored as we possibly can while flash still works.

Hi Jean's Farm,
Yes, Adobe and the browsers will insist you uninstall flash, please ignore this. If you do uninstall flash, you will not be able to load the flash version at all as Adobe will not allow you to install it again and you'll only have the HTML5 version available.
Keep flash on your computers until such time the browsers stop allowing flash to work, we will keep the flash game working for as long as possible so you can still use it for the features that are still missing.
We just ask to be patient while we try to add as many features back to the game in HTML5, it will be better in the end, just hang in there.
Thank you.

Did you uninstall it? if you did, unfortunately, you will not be able to load the flash version anymore as Adobe will not allow you to install it again.
For the moment, you will only be able to play in HTML5, i understand that it is restricted, and many features are missing, but unfortunately there is no way around this. We are trying to get the rest of the features working as quickly as possible, but this does take time and ask that you be patient, Farmtown will be better in the end.

Please do not uninstall flash, even tho Adobe advises that you do. Ignore this, while flash still works, and are able to load Farmtown using flash, you can keep using it for the features that are still missing in the HTML5 version.
We will keep flash running until such time as it stops working, or the browsers block it. The HTML5 Version is restricted, and we understand the frustration of a restricted version. Please rest assured that the developers are working 24/7 to get everything back as quickly as possible.
All we ask is to be a little patient while we work on this. It will be a far better game in the end.

I am sure the developers are doing what they can to get the game restored to full operation, and am looking forward to the day, when all items are restored. I can only begin to imagine what a huge job it is, but the things available now look great and I'm sure the game will be a lot better than the Flash version, when its fully done.

Hi Farmgirl_Su,
If you still have the Flash version go to your preferences and uncheck all the "Show" items so when you go to the HTML version it will not have as much to load. Try clearing your browser cache, restart the browser and then try opening it. It will be slow the first time as all the graphics for your farms will have to download.
Do you have any other extensions enabled such as one to force Facebook to the old layout or others? If so try disabling each one at a time, restart your browser and then try to open it.

This is so frustrating... work a SN farm, the red Pending Changes to Save button just sits there and won't move, and have to reload the game to get any response, then have to go back and check the work you've already done before irrigating.

Hi neidert,
What were the results of the rest of the tests?
What do you see when you try to open your farms in HTML?
Taz D
Jan 09 2021, 03:40 PM
have been using the new version a little and a few things have noticed is when you fish it keeps counting and counting and counting what you get re bonuses and what you have fish, the other is when planting after awhile it freezes for me
Hi Amanda,
Please run the Test #7 and post your results here.

Just LESS than two days ago this thread was started.Hundreds of posts later, and we still have the best and most patient Mods ever.... probably more than we deserve. THANK YOU MODS.... YOU'RE THE BEST
I agree! THANK YOU from me too. You are patient, polite and kind. I would be completely out of my mind by now from some of these posts you are handling. Laura

I'm amazed it works ! I am from the age of DOS, so being patient and things going slow is nothing new to me. One thing though, it may not be of any importance, but, you know when you hover over the farm selector, 1, 2, 3, etc. and they get bigger, so you can click on one to go to a different farm ? When I choose the green watering/fertilizing sprinkler icon and it appears on the screen before I use it, the farm selector gets bigger, (HTML version.) Once I use the sprinkler, the farm selector gets small again.

Hi Dale,
Those lines are not a problem. If you are seeing all those things on your farms in the HTML version then you are in and ok to work through it.
I do all my farming in the HTML version and only the other things in Flash as long as it is available. More will be added as we go along over the next few weeks to the HTML.

- Enabled the 'Show Work Info' and 'Show Farm Extra Info' buttons in the Show Names screen.
- In the storage screen, when you click the 'Go To Market To Sell' button, you will see the old selling screen which you can use in the meantime to sell your products.

Hi Joan,
What browser and operating system are you using? If it is chrome please do test 7 and report the first 11 results here.
Please try clearing your browser cache and run the tests again to see if they load faster.
What do you see when you try loading the game?
Joan Kinser
Jan 09 2021, 09:26 PM
Im using the Opera browser. I cleared history and cache as you suggested. Still no rotating box in test #1 #2 and 3 were faster #4 was slow, 5 really slow, and 6 slow but seemed a bit faster than before. I checked and Opera was listed as one supporting WebGL

Hi Joan,
Many browsers support WebGL, but it depends on how the browser and your computer is set up for using it. Opera is Chrome based, so you should be able to run test # 7.
What happens when you try to open the game itself?
Have you tried any different browsers to see if it would work it that?
Joan Kinser
Jan 09 2021, 10:13 PM
Ive tried 4 different browsers and they all run about the same. Firefox seemed to be the fastest. Yes I have tried the new version of the game and it opens and works just slow like its always been. Does seem a little faster than the flash version. My biggest farm 34x34 has trees flowers and layered crops but does load faster and the tools work better and faster than the flash version did so Im pleased with that. Im not sure how to run test # 7 Thank you for all youre doing. You guys Rock!!

Hi Joan,
As long as you can get into the HTML version then you are ok. No further testing is needed. Just as with Flash heavily layered farms are going to load slower. The only way around that is to remove some of the layering.

Jan 10 2021, 01:21 AM
Hi Farmgirl_Su,
If you still have the Flash version go to your preferences and uncheck all the "Show" items so when you go to the HTML version it will not have as much to load. Try clearing your browser cache, restart the browser and then try opening it. It will be slow the first time as all the graphics for your farms will have to download.
Do you have any other extensions enabled such as one to force Facebook to the old layout or others? If so try disabling each one at a time, restart your browser and then try to open it.
yeah ,you are a star.....i did have 2 extensions to try to force FB back to old layout..although they no longer work I had left them..i shut them off and the farm opened. THANK YOU!!!

Hi furry,
That is only a test you need to run if you can't get into the HTML version, not to add that when you open your farms. Adding that to the address will not do anything and probably will be ignored by your browser.
What do you see when you open your farms?
What browser are you using?

Can you tell me if things that are overlapping outside the official edges of the farms are ok to be left there for the transition? Word is around that if it is not completely ON the farm squares it will get lost in the move. Please advise when you can, and thanks so much.

Hi MammaKanode,
Are you able to open the HTML version? If so are any of your items sitting off the edge of the farm missing? If not then that answers your question. No things on the edge of your farms are not being lost. I would not believe any thing said in the groups unless you see it here.

For days I tried to enter the HTML5 version by using the Edge, Opera and Firefox and i couldn't enter Farm Town. I decided to download Chrome.
From the webpage http://r1.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=650382 i chose:
"5.FarmTown game with user farms, no compression, with caching (slow to load, please be patient):
https://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/?build=22&dev=1
You should see your default farm."
And i was able to enter my default farm and visit another farm where i plowed some fields.
I bookmarked the website https://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/?build=22&dev=1 , closed it and i then i went to the bookmarks, i clicked the above bookmarked Farm Town URL and i entered the HTML5 version after a short delay.
Is this how i will be entering the HTML5 Farm Town in the future?
the #6 did not work.

Hi Edmo,
That link was only a simple load to test to see if you could enter.
You need to click on the link in the left column of your Facebook home page to open the Farm Town page for the Flash version though you may not have Flash to be able to open the farms, then click on the link at the top of your farms for "Click here to try the HTML5 version of the game". That will get you to the current HTML release.
When the Flash version is no longer available then the developers will change the link on your Facebook home page to go directly to the current HTML version.

Hi Sammac,
Your friend was able to get to your farms because their Chrome is correctly set up.
For 5 & 6 at least it showed you the farms. It could be you were not logged into Facebook when you did those tests in which it would not know your ID to show the correct farms.
Please try something for me. Please check that you have cookies and pop ups allowed according to the instructions in the following link:

I am not sure if this is a bug or a feature that has not been enabled yet. When I go to plant crops in the flash version and click to go down one page, it goes down one page. In the HTML5 version, it does not go down one page. The bottom pairing of the seed choices still shows at the top after hitting just above the arrow. I am not sure if I am explaining this properly. I have screen image captures that I could send in a document, not sure if it will let me do that. Please advise. Thanks.

Hi Sammac,
The rotating cube link is not working right now. It is not something disigned by the developers , so nothing they can do about it right now.
Did you use the instructions in the link I gave you for allowing the cookies and pop ups in Chrome?
Have you rerun the tests 5 & 6 while being logged into Facebook?
What do you see when you try to open the HTML version?

Hi betjohns,
I am not sure I would call it a bug. Just different settings for how many the blocks it moves. In Flash it moves down 10 and in the HTML it moves down 8. This may be something they can adjust later after they get the rest of the game added and working.

Hi bbarksda,
I am sorry, but as we do not condone the use of layering as it can damage farm data, we are unable to verify one way or the other if it is still possible.
Also please note, we will not allow others to post if layering is possible or not as those posts will be immediately removed.

My user ID is 100000260079219: I tried the links given us by Alexandra Jeffrey on Firefox and Brave browsers. On Firefox build 28 gives me a Run time Error Index out of Bounds ref to Java Script. Build 30 gives me this: An error occurred running the Unity content of this page. TypeError.trimEnd is not a function. write to target @ /Slashkey.com. On Brave browser however, build 28 ran through to the farm but as it was almost loaded completely, it turned into the grey screen with the sad face. (Every now and then I go straight through to the farm using only the link at the top the page.) Build 30 loaded completely on Brave with blue neighbors and all.

Hi Sammac17 :)
Please go to the main post of this thread in the first page and try the new link Raul posted there. You find it at the bottom of the post.
Then post here again with the results and a link to your farms. Thank you :)
EDITED TO ADD : do you have any extensions added to your browser, let say to keep facebook in their classic version? If so, you have to disable that extension and check if your game loads using HTML5.

Hi Stu,
The Transplanters are not available yet.

I tried the links given us by Alexandra Jeffrey on Firefox and Brave browsers. On Firefox build 28 gives me a Run time Error Index out of Bounds ref to Java Script. Build 30 gives me this: An error occurred running the Unity content of this page. TypeError.trimEnd is not a function. write to target @ /Slashkey.com. On Brave browser however, build 28 ran through to the farm but as it was almost loaded completely, it turned into the grey screen with the sad face. (Every now and then I go straight through to the farm using only the link at the top the page.) Build 30 loaded completely on Brave with blue neighbors and all.
Hi Rina,
Please use the link at the bottom of the first post of this thread and then post the information asked for in a reply here. Using links from a group does not always give you all we ask for.

new version is fast. harvested all 43 farms in less than 1 hour. however, i noticed that the harvest totals were recording about 1/3 of total. after loading flash, the totals were corrected.

Then it went to the grey screen with the sad face on it.

I use a MAC and Safari. I can access steps 1-5 but not six. I get a black screen with a weird white graphic and a status bar that does not make it all the way to the end. I performed the test on Chrome and got nowhere. Same black screen with the white graphic, but nothing in the status bar. I will not upgrade my browsers until flash is totally gone because I can still play the game jsut fine with flash but will be locked out if a miracle isn't forthcoming tomorrow.

Hi Sandgar,
The developers will be looking at the log that was collected from the information in your posts. Hopefully they can figure out the problems people are having and come up with a solution for it.

My tech guy found out what was wrong today with why I couldn't get the new version. I was using the Revert Site extension. When we disabled it I could load the new version HTML/WebGL fine.
