Check your settings for Flash and make sure you have the latest version. Try defragging your hard drive. If you have a program for cleaning your computer that will defragment the registry and memory that helps too.
I have noticed that Flash is crashing easier now than in the past. I like to keep my farm open and I have some webcams I like to watch too. If I try to do that with both open Flash will crash on me. |
Thank you. I tune-up and defrag my computer, registry and memory regularly, but did it again earlier just in case. I have the most recent flash version, but I guess my next step might be to try uninstalling and reinstalling. I have tried Google Chrome, Firefox, Waterfox and Safari hoping for some improvement, but all are behaving the same.
I agree I push my computer to the limit, but since everything was fine and now suddenly there is a problem, and because my other games and programs are operating normally, I believe something has changed on Farmtown. I have wondered if it is all the new stuff added to the neighbor bar. I don't know how much extra info is having to be loaded in the background to support this nor how often it is checking to update that info.
Just an observation: The size of the farm(s) being loaded is making no difference in the impact on memory being used. I just tried working one friend's regular facilities. Her farms with facilities are much smaller and I had everything turned off (buildings, animals, etc). It took up almost all of the free memory, so the size of farms does not seem to be a factor.
I appreciate your suggestions.
