- General Performance Improvements: The latest version of the Flash Player introduced some changes that slowed down the game considerably on many areas, we just released several workarounds to minimize this impact, on some or even on most situations the game should now be faster than it was before, when moving the mouse over the farm, dragging the farm around and when doing farming operations, even on larger farms.

One of the compromise we did was that when you move the mouse over the farm items, the items are not highlighted until you stop moving the mouse, only then the item under the mouse is highlighted for you to interact with it, we think this should not be a major issue compared to the performance gains of this new strategy.

We tested the game as much as we could but the change covered many areas so please report your comments and if you find any major inconveniences with the new changes.
Unfortunately I don't find any improvement on my end, on the contrary I find it has made the clicking/highlighting more difficult and I don't see any difference in the speed of the game... it is still lagging for me... Usually, I very rarely have problems with slowness... Yes, the mouse seems easier to maneuver, it's not jumping around all over the screen but I have to go around in circles while hovering to be able to catch the item to highlight, it makes no difference when I stop moving my mouse, I still have to hover in circles... the crops are not as difficult as the flowers & the trees, the trees being the worst... I have to click about 4 times before it highlights... I just finished chopping & harvesting trees & flowers on 4 farms and I have to stop because I am starting to feel the shooting pain in my wrist & forearm (I have arthritis)... I hope you can find a solution (I'm sure you will) and this workaround is not a permanent change...

Thank you for all...
