New Release -- March 6th, 2017

[Farmer_Susan]

I'm still thinking there may be an issue with the left-click contextual menus. Clearing cache and memcache doesn't phase that particular issue. Yesterday after I rebooted, it was fine again so I thought all was good. But this morning, I'm having trouble both hiring and also harvesting individual animal buildings again - both places where I left-click to bring up a contextual menu and then try to make a choice. I haven't tried rebooting - maybe that would fix it again - but just the fact that I might need to reboot frequently is new. I leave my computer on 24/7 and often don't reboot or turn it off for several weeks and I've never had this issue before.

Things I've noticed about the issue:

1. It's an intermittent problem; sometimes it works fine.
2. It's worse at full screen; sometimes I can close out the full screen and get it to work.
3. When it's NOT working, the first thing you might notice is that it's a bit hard to highlight the choice you want because more than one thing highlights. Also, once you do manage to get the choice you want, when you click it, the screen jumps a bit but never actually does whatever you had asked it to do (e.g., for the two I've found so far, it doesn't harvest the animal building or send a hire request).
4. Again, it may be helpful to notice that I first started having this issue Monday morning, i.e., before the latest release. Not sure if my post should stay in this thread - just wasn't sure where to put it. Thought maybe either our developers or FB made some change on Monday morning that could have caused this.

Hi Susan,
As you are the only one reporting this and we can't duplicate it then it may be something with your computer. If you are using a wireless mouse try changing the battery and see if that helps. Mice do wear out. I personally have been at least 3 or 4 mice in my time playing this game.
Also try another computer if you can and see if it works on that.

I have noticed a minor glitch/situation on my farmtown since the update. My default farm would always open normally before with chat screen hidden. Now it is showing the chat screen open every time with words in red: loading user - connecting to town mainframe (WF3) - connected to mainframe - joining room -entered room. The first time it happened, I thought maybe a neighbor was on the farm. Not the case. I did the cache clean and reloaded. Same result each time. I have to manually hide the chat. Has anyone else been experiencing this? I find it annoying. Any suggestions.

I, too, have been dealing with that for at least a month. Same server, WF3. Plus, my loading 25% screen seems to stay there so long I have to click the save button for it to go away.

Yes I have been having the same issue. I had my default farm as my Port farm and have changed it to another farm now as we can access ships from Port Icon and that seems to have helped the loading/reconnecting issue. The chat box still shows as open we reloading or opening which is a problem as I always reload when about to send a ship to check if there is someone to send to earlier than planned.

My mouse is fine but I'll try my laptop later and let you know.

The two new facilities are still not posting for client referrals. If you use one of them to post for referrals it shows as a request for help in the factories. I wrote this yesterday too but have not heard back yet. This has happened with at least two of my neighbors. Thanks.

Hi Granny T,

This is a known issue that we have notified the developers about. For the time being do not use the Bar Supplies shop for posting client work until it is fixed.

Will the Crop tools 5 x 5 with extended mode support snap to grid like the newer shaker, flower harvester, and chainsaw do?
