HTML5/WebGL: Game Not loading or frequent crashes

[bgfarmer]

When I tried to use the new version, none of my tools, equipment, trains, ships, harvest were available; nor were my friends/neighbors. I could not find anything. Had to go back to flash version to finish loading my ships.

should I play both versions until it has been completely converted? Since I can't do anything in the new HTML version yet; and I can work the flash version? Thanks in advance for your support.

Hi bgfarmer,
You can still use the Flash version until the browsers start disabling it and not allowing you to use that.

*The evil Unity logo that shows in HTML5 on first load helps it APPEAR that the game is loading slower. I don't have a stopwatch, but I think the HTML5 actually loads about the same as the Flash, but it certainly FEELS slower.

*HTML5 version won't retain farm level zoom, always opens at like 5 or 6. Flash version always retains farm level zoom.

*Not a big fan of the baby poo color scheme. The dark green that surrounds the farms in the HTML5 version makes it difficult to see any dark objects like trees positioned around the upper left and right edges really hard to see. Also, the background color of the farm selector grid reminds me so much of something in a baby's diaper that I can almost smell it.

*The grid outliner that shows which plowed fields are being selected for planting is so faint in the HTML5 version that it actually slows down my ability to plant and has resulted in over/under selections where I did not want those.

*The popups for the Store aren't sized properly, and as a result don't click-scroll a full page like the Flash version does. The My Storage popups, on the other hand, DO seem to be sized properly as everything works as expected.

*I DO like the HTML5 farm selector popups for Fertilizing and Watering, as I am a fan of the more complete descriptions of each farm.

*The slanted text in the info popups in various places in the HTML5 version is annoying as it is hard on the eyes.

That is all for now.

*Update 1/3/20- Timed it today and it takes about 30% longer to plant my crops. Some of that is due to slow loading of farms, as they tend to hang when the non-working progress bar starts to fade.

*I am all up-to-date and cleared with my Chrome browser.

I think this will be great when it's all said and done. Right now I notice the red harvest, plow and sow tool isn't there and I can't change the name of farms. I'm sure these will come sooner or later but that's what I've noticed. Thanks for creating and maintaining such a great game. I've been playing for a long long time.

Hi Granny T

The arrows and the mouse wheel work a little different in HTML5, but you can try to hover the mouse on a tool and then click left mouse button to drag that column up and down. See if that helps you to find those tools.

Changing names for the farms will come in a time.

I can not sell any of my crops. How can I continue to buy seeds if I can't sell my crops because there is no Market? My American flag is missing. The few animals I had are missing.

In addition, all of my friends are gone... Game is really messed up.

I am using the HTML5 version that you just switched to. What a mess..

Hi Larahoback,
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.

Thank you for your prompt reply. However, I can not use Flash. Guess I won't be playing. If I have no market I am dead in the water. I will check back every now and then to see if the game is running better. Thanks anyway.. Stay safe!

Hi Larahoback,
Why can't you use Flash? Have you deleted it?
