New Release -- December 22nd, 2009 - UPDATE 2

[alysadeghi]

I love the speed of the harvesting and ploughing but am having trouble with the "already done" thing. I have absolutely no idea if a plot has been ploughed or not, the thing certainly looks like it needs doing, so I'm off ploughing like a mad woman, only to find when I'm finished that instead of collecting coins and points I'm surrounded by floating "already done" notices.......and boy, do they take an age to go through. I personally only hire 2 people for my big farm and one for my second smaller farm, which seems to work out ok. Many people tho. do not and it's absolute chaos out there lol. Any chance you could sort out the "already done" thing soon? Love the second farm addition and the new items - trees etc. by the way.

I have always played the game with no problems until the changes on Dec 22 so there are some things i never really paid attention to.
I am on server 25. I tended a neighbor farm... it is on 35, another on 21.
How does this work? Which server are we using when on those farms? Our own (25) or theirs (say 35, 21)? does that affest how we work?
Sorry I never paid any attention to this before but keep hearing that this is a server issue so how do you determine which server?

IMPORTANT EDIT: It seems that the newest version of the program is working as it should for many players and they are experiencing the intended benefits. Others are reporting issues which should not be experienced with this newest release. Before posting in this thread, please do the following REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAVE THE LATEST VERSION OF ADOBE FLASH. Go to the adobe.com website and use their uninstall program to completely uninstall your flash player program. Then BEFORE REINSTALLING clear your browser cache and reboot your computer to get rid of any remnants of the program before going back to the adobe.com site and reinstalling the latest version of flash player for your computer.[/quote]

Raul, I have done as suggested above. I am still getting work done, seemingly before others who appear (to me)to come along later, and then I lose it to them - just getting "already done" when the counter (not my avatar which is always well behind my cursor) "hits" those squares. This did not happen before your latest update, ie before, I could see what had been harvested/plowed in real time, and they could see my work. I dont even bother to stay now to work with others because I know half of my effort will be wasted
I just seem to be "out of synch" all the time and its so disappointing.
I also like to report, as others, chat room problems all as described and inc my words not being posted at all.
I know you will work hard to sort this out now Christmas is over.
Thank you

I am seeing the same out of synch thing and I don't think my computer or flash player has anything to do with it (but I do have the latest flash player and I do have update set to notify me only, I am not shutting it off as I run a lot of Adobe apps on my computer).

I can click on my whole farm to plow or harvest and it will look like only 20% or so is actually done, but then I hit refresh and it is actually all done.

I am back to not wanting to harvest/plow for others even though I need the XP because too many problems. I am not having problems on my own farm, but I do notice the refresh rate is way off.

Problems still existing:
Timing out - horrible
Already done - driving me crazy (approx 50 plots) I have to wait

I have implemented every single change recommended.

Much more of this and it's good bye Farm Town; a great game ruined by constant messing about with it.

THIS IS REALLY PISSING ME OFF!! Myspace FT which I cant even link to forums. is so slow. what the purpose if ppl can plow over fields you already done?? Why does our avatar move at a snails pace. I used to really love this game. Now it has gotten horrible. CHANGE IT BACK!

Whatever you do, PLEASE change it back to pay upon click. The current method is not only causing "Already Done" when working with others, but even working alone has become much more time consuming. You have to wait until the coins pay before the work is done (IOW the field is not harvested/plowed), and of course before you can leave. The pay upon click was the most beneficial improvement made while I have been playing. (I started right after the new levels were added - early November).

I haven't seen any problems working on non-neighbors' farms since deinstalling and installing Flash earlier today.
This includes farms with multiple workers.

[lawngnome25]

I appreciate the effort trying to please everyone. Unfortunately, I'm really not able to harvest for other people because it seems everyone is overhiring to compensate for the slowness (that's all I can think) and I keep plowing fields only to have them come up as "already done". I'm wasting my time.

Again, thanks for the effort. I'll just watch the forums to see if things go back to the previous version or if the issues are resolved. Until then I can't play.

It is Sunday 2 days after Christmas I am having troubles now I can not see anyone sending me notes to work on their fields and when i see fields they are already done the people say can you help fix this problem i cleaned my cookies i just got a new computer so help me not on my end i know. Other people are having this problem i talked to today. Madellyn Urso dreamangelmad@yahoo.com
