New Release -- July 28th, 2011

The 3 vertical letters are really not helpful! I use Firefox & now have to choose the harvest tool & click on a crop to see what % it is. I already know what the crop is. I'm really hoping this isn't an "improvement." I love the game & usually look forward to the enhancements. This particular one is not helpful.

This isn't part of the game, it's an issue with flash player.

This was not a Farm Town "enhancement" but was instead an Adobe Flash update that has gone wrong. It is effecting a lot of Flash run games.

I have discovered that if you zoom in with your mouse wheel then the text is normal.
Still searching for other answers

Yes, you're right about the zooming in. I guess the major question is - does anyone know if there is a mr/mz 'fixit' working on this?

I don't know if it's Adobe Flash that has completely messed everything up, or if there are serious problems with the Slashkey servers... but I'm at my wit's end with the constant server time-outs. In the 2+ years I've been playing Farm Town, I have never experienced anything like this. It's been going on for most of the summer... since early July, I believe. I can't work multi-hire without timing out and needing rehire. If a belt notice pops up.. or a message arrives... big triggers to a time-out. I can't work in full screen mode anymore, and that's the only way I can play this game. Tonight I timed out twice trying to load facilities. A short time ago, the worst time-out of all... while layer planting. I've timed out chopping my trees... fishing... even clicking to put a tool down. I'm beyond frustration now. I had high hopes today, when I saw that I was returned to my original server... but ended up timing out just as much, and maybe even more than before.

I love Farm Town, and I've spent a lot of time and money on this game. I see no other choice but to quit playing, though. I see no feedback on this game-destroying problem, though many players besides me have posted about this. I have friends who are experiencing the same thing as me... and others who have no problems. We all use different operating systems. The closest to a similarity is Google Chrome. So maybe Adobe is the culprit, and the built-in Flash plug-in is defective. I don't know.. but if Slashkey can't do anything to help, then players like me are out of luck.

Please give me a sign of hope.


Edit: I checked the About Google Chrome tool, that notifies us about updates. Sure enough... it says "Relaunch Google Chrome to finish updating." That explains why my planting crashed.. but not the endless server time-outs since early July. I've turned off every setting that lets Chrome automatically update. I can't stop them from installing updates when they decide to do them.

Just wanted to chime in that the issue with not seeing % or number of fishes definitely seems to be a chrome issue, discovered I have same issue in chrome but not IE also logged into Firefox and again no issue, so its seems to be a chrome issue... is there any known fix out there? love my chrome so far its been having the least of bugs in my experience, I have been having a ton of slowness with IE and loading other peoples factories and gifts and stuff with Firefox so I would hate to have to go back to using those browsers.
Thank you,

Pippilotta

And another thing I keep getting An error occurred with Farm Town. Please try again later. when posting my belt increases. ??

What is up with the 3 vertical letters when I fish? Is this something new or an error with FT? I can't see how much bait I have, and I can't see if there are any fish or how many if I have fish. Very annoying.

I am not convinced this is JUST a flash issue or Farm Town. I am having problems with ALL games on Facebook. In fact I am struggling to log out or log back in. It's just taken me an hour to accept gifts from all games. The 'like' function on facebook is broken, as are my wall posts and other things. I really believe that it is Facebook itself that is having server issues, which is affecting the Farm Town servers along with other games

And I am not the only person saying this. If you google you will find many people have been struggling with Facebook for the past 24hrs if not longer
