OR...... I can do my own tech troubleshooting and provide what seems to be more accurate information to the rest of the player base that may be having a similar issue.
One of the external sources they pointed to that would show if you had web GL 2 on in chrome enabled, said to look for this:
WebGL: Hardware accelerated
WebGL2: Hardware accelerated
it's a bit of sifting through (external link removed) that they provide above since the items before it did not work either.
And that's what this system reads. If they are pointing to an external site that has misinformation... well due diligence.
Secondly:
" WebGL 2.0 is not a requirement to play Farmtown but it will perform better:"
Why would it hang and cease to work if it is not enabled when it is not a requirement?
------------------
Finally to help others that might be looking to turn on WebGL 2 in chrome, using a clear and concise process with no external mumbo-jumbo
------------------
A google search most people find is:
----------------------------------------------
https://get.webgl.org/webgl2/enable.html
Go to about
:flags.
Press Ctrl-F or Cmd-F and search for webgl 2.0.
Find WebGL 2.0 Prototype and click enable.
restart Chrome.
------------------------------------------------
It appears it has s outdated information or instructions.
===================================
1. Going to the flags section: chrome://flags/
2. search for: webgl (don't use CTR F just use the search at top middle)
3. enable both of these (worked for me):
a) WebGL Developer Extensions
b) WebGL Draft Extensions
4. Restart Chrome.
