Hi there. Try refreshing the game, that's what I did, and it worked for me

Default Is it FarmTown or me?

Alright, I have done everything I can possibly do with my PC and everything checks out just fine. I have even gone as far as to uninstall and reinstall Firefox, Flashplayer, and Java. I have had issues for a week now trying to deal with the lag in play. I have to reload the game every couple of minutes just to be able to sow my farms. I dread helping other people out with their factories and all because it is miserably slow.

Whatever is wrong it doesn't appear to be affecting everyone so I am afraid that it won't get fixed. After doing everything suggested from all the issues with explorer 9, I was never able to get the flashplayer games to work there. I am stuck to Firefox. Now that it is acting up I am pretty much at the end of my rope. Is it going to be fixed soon?

Have you tried clearing your cache also have you deleted your hidden temp files? If not I would suggest doing both of those things

Lol, ya, that was the first thing I did when the problem started.... and pretty much nearly every day since.... and 3 times today... I am thinking by now anyone who has been playing this game from the beginning, especially after the last year or so when updates really started flooding out, has learned that's the first place to start before seeking help. Its always the first answer you get. The funny thing is though, that has never once fixed any issue I was having so I'm really wondering why it is so quickly advised.

I have the same problem, yesterday I even had to delete my cache files every time i changed what seed i was planting, because the field i was planting just disapeared and i was never able to load the different sorts of fields at all.
I think its a firefox problem, it seems to me like it started when the latest version of flash was recently released and i also deleted/reinstalled flash+firefox, but it never helped. So i am using Google Chrome for planting for now, because the only version of firefox i can get to work to some extent is the beta version, but it still is really slow when i plant/harvest alot. Maybe you should try Google Chrome and find out if your problem is firefox related aswell.

Do you still have IE9 on your PC ?
If so remove it and use IE8.

I had all sorts of issues just having IE9 on my PC
(no web cam, unable to copy/paste (even within Excel), certain images failing to show (even within FT) and slow boot up times)
Had someone remove IE9 (easy actually with Win7) and let it update agian with IE8 and all these issues disappeared.

My browser is 'Avant Browser' and is running in 'IE8 standards' mode.

"Fixing" this game has got to be an absolute nightmare for our developers. I use Chrome and have no trouble with the music ..... although I mostly turn it off

I quit using IE a couple of years ago because I had so many Farm Town issues, but since moving to Chrome it's been full steam and no problems.

personally i think pc's have their own personality and things they like lol lol what browser works for one won't necessarily work for another lol lol i just got this pc a few months ago so i know it is in good working condition.. who knows why?? not I ! lol As i always say "if Bill Gates made cars, we would have to change the oil at every stop sign, and restart the engine at every red light....
