You shouldn't have tempted me. Dug out an old HP Compaq Presario laptop. Build date 2004, running Win Vista OEM (Released 2006) so PC would have been bought in 2006 and Google Chrome (last updated in 2014). Connected to the internet and logged into the game. Despite the ancient technology it ran the game without any hassle. Check out the stats, especially the ram... I only wish now that I still had my first Windows 3.1 PC. 2mb of ram and a hard disc that was about 10 or 12mb.
I could copy paste here a number of messages I had from players using mac and giving up the game
everything works on their computers except this game
@5-10 Man (AU1) & others asking about droprates in the Wedding Planner & Food Truck events - They should be fixed in the next update. Doves were mentioned specifically, I am not sure what else is changing.
@rie22 (US1) @kimmiecat (NL1) & anyone else with farms that won`t move - No touchscreen devices are able to scroll anymore & the team are looking into it. As we have said before, there is no official support for mobile devices, but its possible that it is the same problem affecting them, so they may work again too after the touchscreen issue has been resolved.
Game runs very well in Puffin browser grafics are same as in Flash but i cant move in my farm. Not in vertical either horizontal.and is not only me with this problem.
Iv dowloaded Chrome Firefox Edge in my phone and tablet but is the same, or better these browesers on phone are way more slow for the game
Do something fast please
GGS:
As I have documented now on numerous occasions here, I've been told BY APPLE (no suppositions, postulations, or un-researched theories) that my computer is clean; fully up to date; fully functional; & is compatible w/ HTML...however there seems to be an issue related to GGS specifically that is creating an issue w/ HTML5 AND the GGS systems (and Mac) that needs to be addressed by GGS. I've asked that GGS I.T communicate w/ Apple I.T, investigate the exact circumstances, and attempt to find a solution. (rotfl!)
It's been made very clear here on Forum by GGS(?) reports that Mac users (esp. "older" Macs, mine is a mid-2011) are not part of the "vast majority" (and therefore apparently not of significance to warrant further time investigating... <= last of this statement is MY understanding of the "vast majority" declaration)
I've done everything that I can think of or have been directed to do to find a solution. You name a browser, I've tried it... Safari, Chrome (71), FireFox, Brave, Edge, Opera....if its been named on BF, its been tried.
I'm thinking I need to put together a bill & send it into GGS to pay ME for MY investigative services. lol
In the mean time, I am farming/ attempting to farm with continuously move screens: zooming in & out, items scooting away from the pointer, screen not moving or jumping unpredictably while attempting to travel across my farms, etc...all of which cause me to accidentally harvest things not meant to be harvested & thus lost for purposes of events. The vast majority of the time, I am being completely kicked off the the BF site at least every 10-15 minutes, often requiring 3-4+ attempts to log back in. For messaging purposes, I have to write my message on Word then copy & paste as there is not enough time to complete the message before I'm disconnected....and no its not my server (please don't ask me that one again...sigh). And no, I am not experiencing any other problems, slow downs, disconnects, etc., in the daily usage of my "old" Mac on any other sites, games, etc.
Excuse me if I'm a wee bit testy & "negative." Actually, I'd say I'm holding up quite well. How would you be reacting in my shoes? "Frustrated" doesn't begin to describe my life on BF. *** SIGH***
@PCA... let me know if YOU get another response. ; )
Damn, if your were living in Australia, I could set you up with one of my pensioned off dinosaurs that I do know still work and GGS runs quite ok on.
@WascallyWabbit
I hope you and the other moderators are collating all the information being presented. It should keep the coders busy for an entire year just fixing up problems. They won't have time to introduce new stuff.
Oh, and by the way, just wondering how Vanilla are getting on with that other problem of Forum login?
Thanks, 5-10 Man, but I LOVE my Mac. Best computer I've ever owned. Runs like it did the 1st day I bought it, without fail, no hiccups, and this ol lady can't click fast enough to get ahead of it when playing any other game.
Absolutely NO complaints with my COMPUTER, here. ; )
Know what you mean. I have a MacBook Pro which I setup to run both Mac and Windows because I needed both for work when on the road. Absolutely the best laptop I ever had and it runs both operating systems simultaneously. I can work in Windows for one thing and Mac for another without swapping over. Pretty awesome. But I do hate to tell you, GGS works on both without hassle...
I don't know if it's because I have an iMac, or because it's a later model, but I can assure you, while it definitely feels like a nightmare; my whole body is black & blue from pinching myself to wake up from it...and Nope, this is my life with GGS.
I run both Mac & windows as well. ; )
Flash worked very good for me. SMOOTHLY!
HTML is the worst thing that have happened in BF.
It is slow and have many bugs.
How can you change to a worse server. I have tried Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Firefox! They are all the same.
I am going to finish as fast as my gold is finished.
It is not funny to play any more. TOO SLOW!.
Can you change back to Flash?
If we can get descriptions of the issues users are having specifically rather than a general 'Mac doesn't work' then we can likely look deeper into it and confirm if there really is a problem specific to Apple hardware, but as of now this isn't a known issue and as mentioned, we have Mac users in the office who don't experience any particular issue unique to Mac that hasn't been reported by Windows users as well.

I do not want to keep working on the event if it is going to be an other error.
EDIT: went to check Wabbits calendar and looks like event timer is wrong and should be corrected. @WascallyWabbit
Move that gold star emblem to the right, center the progress bar with the Show me! button and get it cleaned up.
It doesn't hurt to take an extra 5 minutes to polish your code and get it just right.
It's all in the details, take pride in your work!!!
There's no such thing as "good enough"

You know.....you could have simply left Flash alive and had none of these problems. Fancy that!
It is painfully slow.....especially when the Village Fair is running. That makes it much, much worse. I have to reboot the computer several times a day. I never had to do this before. It is as if you are trying to get me to quit!
no matter the date it will be dead, GGS would have to switch to HTML5 long before Flash's demise....
My panel looks like this:
...Just joking. hehe
I agree, with just a few minor adjustments the panel would look much better, and wouldn't have to stick out so far.
I hope this gets forwarded to the development team. Thanks for your consideration.
During a repeat harvest, the turbo harvest will disrupt the repeat harvest and you have to manually plant/feed the items...
Place a lock bit on repeat harvest items and then auto remove the lock when the last repeat starts...
This way the turbo harvester can't access the building...
Please and thank-you

And they were not ready. Just like they were not ready when they launched the Village, or the Village Fair. They were not ready. This is a disturbing trend.
I am farming LESS......a lot less. Not by choice, but because the game (under any of the browsers suggested) is just too damn slow.
AFTER ALL THERE IS MORE GRIPING ABOUT STUFF NOT WORKING AND I AM NOT JUST SPEAKING ABOUT HTML BUT EVERYTHING AND THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS. 2 YEARS AGO WE WERE TOLD PUTTING IN EVENTS AND MAKING CHANGES WERE GOING TO BE TESTED AND MORE BUG FREE AND YET NOTHING HAS CHANGED. THE GAME HAS JUST AS MANY BUG, CHANGES MADE WITH ALL THE BUGS IN PLACE AND ROLLED OUT EVENTS THAT ARE BUG FILLED.
THEY COULD HAVE LEFT THE FLASH OPTION A BIT LONGER AND WORKED ON SOME BUG THEN ROLLED IT OUT BUG FREE.
SAME WITH ANY EVENT IF IT IS NOT BUG FREE IT SHOULD NOT BE RUN UNTIL IT IS.
START SHOWING US 1. YOU MEANT WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT TESTING, AND 2. YOU REALLY ARE LISTENING TO US BECAUSE AS OF NOW GGS'S WORDS ARE EMPTY.
JVD EVERYONE IS WELL AWARE FLASH IS GONG AWAY, BUT IT IS NOT GOING THIS WEEK OR THIS MONTH. CHANGES COULD HAVE BEEN MADE TO MAKE HTML WORK BETTER AND FOR EVERYONE BEFORE THEY DISABLED FLASH COMPLETELY.
In case no one mentioned this yet:
mail box, 1st tab on the right, "ignored players": the list looks empty.
I checked with other players in my coop and they confirmed there are no names in their lists either
