    I'm on the US server and the supersonic ads work just fine for me.  I wish I had supersonic ads, because right now I'm stuck on a survey that asks me what my race is and I'm not answering it.  It's none of their business.

    I keep having problems getting the videos to play - I either get a message saying this video failed to start or nothing happens at all and I have to refresh the game in order to get the active button back to play a video. Is there a better browser to use to get the videos to play? I have tried Chrome, Internet Explorer and Firefox.

    i dont know why i m not getting viedo ever. please chexk it and givee me also some viedo
  •  dear o dear the videos has not been working all weekend anyone else having the same problem, is it worth all the trouble it causes, 
  • every time I try to play videos, it either lock up my computer, does not work then does not let me view another, or just does not give reward
  • Ad video reward window stuck loading. I've watched the ad, when it switches to reward screen, it doesn't load. It just hangs there, little gears turning but not loading.This has happened many times. I'm thinking it may be the CPU issue that's been mentioned previously. Discouraging, guess I'll not waste time watching the ads. I didn't mind most of them, they're annoying, but a decent reward softened the blow!

    I don't watch the video ads anymore; since I have been hacked and as a result gone through a lot of trouble I avoid them as if they were radioactive...

    I've never been greedy, it's just not me - so it's not difficult at all to stay away from them.
  • the videos are a brilliant idea for collecting gold, etc. etc  but, for some reason, for the past few days I haven't been able to play it.

    it comes up with an error message saying  to try again later...................I have tried again later but still no video but that annoying message

    And you are asking a question? Where is the question mark or better question, where is your question?

    Here is the thread where all the information about the movies is: https://community.goodgamestudios.com/bigfarm/en/discussion/44035/update-september-1st-movie-time-questions-and-feedback#latest

    And here you can find the newest information about the upcoming update regarding the movies: https://community.goodgamestudios.com/bigfarm/en/discussion/112044/update-november-3rd-winter-is-coming-again

  • I forgot to put the question mark so here it is?


  • 5 ads a day - surprise boxes for everyone - not worth it - might as well not have them at all.

    Good job I invested my gold wisely, got me a massive advantage over others in the game with all that gold, can compete against level 100+ in missions, and win most of the time, at level 36.

    I don't get it - LOL
  • I'm on US1, Videos that came out 9PM PST on 11-1-15 to 11-2-15.  Had Supersonic ads!!!! Lots of Sorry screens!!!  **** If you get a Sorry screen you MUST reload the game to try to play another video.****  Sorry screens this time were before any video played too.  And always for the 2nd one too as before.  Sometimes they are VERY slow to load, just wait a bit before you close it.  That blank Advertisement screen did finally load on one of mine.

    No difference if I used Google Chrome or Internet Explorer 11. Or if I cleared cashes and rebooted too.  Still Sorry screens.  Took forever, tons of reloads, videos took awhile to come back too, trying changing browsers, etc. but finally got through all the videos. Played ok for the most part when they played, just keep having problems loading and had the Sorry screen A LOT!!!  It seemed to have an occasional video mixed in that was not Supersonic.. Unusual too.

    Oh Well, will see what happens next.

    I wish they would give everyone the chance to have this version of the ADS-with your choice of 4 prizes-20 ads/day and keep working on it, rather than changing it to only ads with Surprise boxes and ONLY 5 of them per day -- See Official Update for Nov. 3rd.  As I have been testing them, I must admit for the most part I chose the gold as my prize because of a goal that I had.  But as I analyzed it, some of the other things were actually worth more than the gold.  So, I was watching that and looking at my best options.  Now I am really disappointed for my future plans as well as for all of the players who did not get the ads yet. Will the ads with the 4 prize options and 20 ads/day ever come back? It's nice to pick the best prize for my needs at the time.   Guess we'll hear more about all of this on the discussion for the Nov. 3rd. Update.

    I do know that GGS has a lot of technical problems now and not just with the ads either!!!

  • Did a test, with adblocker enabled (disabled for this site (bigfarm) only) the ads don't work, you just get the sorry screen.
    With adblocker completely disabled, the ads played until the usual bad egg.

    The new layering of the ads within a frame GGS is forcing you to disable ad blockers.
    Since some anti spyware and anti virus software include similar code, most of the ads just aren't going to work now.
    I guess that's the reason some people get the watch ds screen but can never play any.

    I don't get the surprise boxes, I have asolutely no need for chicken feed, dung, pig feed, cow feed, leaves, horse shoes or dollars... this game is so broken you just don't need them, so why force them on me???????? ?? ? (they is question marks btw)
  • I will not turn off adblock. And I have Malwarebytes, it blocks bad sites too. So no watching ads if adblock needs off completely. Not going to undo my secure system.
  • My ads tonight-(NO Supersonic!) had a lot of repeats about Oak Island, diabetes, something else too, can't remember now.  I noticed that a lot of the ads had a screen at the end that I had not seen before, even for the same ads.  It was to click for more info, facebook, twitter links, etc.  (A click only opened a tab for their website). But then nothing happened, it did not change to the prize screen. Some blank Advertisement screens too.  But if I closed the screen and opened it again, the prize screen was there, so at least I didn't have to reload a lot tonight.  Later, about 1/2 way through the ads, they started playing OK, that more info screen was there for a few seconds, then it moved on to the prize screen. Seemed to be a problem with it all loading too slowly tonight.
  • I still have a problem with adds, it say sorry please try again,  i did then nothing.

    Same here, Letty; even after the update, I still have only the "Supersonic" video coming up, which doesn't load... and I don't even get a message to say sorry! lol  It just doesn't load, and I'm left with a blank beige screen so all I can do is click the greyed-out cross to close the box.  So, sadly, GGS' system is failing both its players, and its advertisers!

    Edit; I just got a different video - just one, but it played - so I got all excited thinking it the problem was fixed... then back to the "supersonic" scenario.  *sighs*

  • Same here ... twice in a row ,,, no message first time ... sorry message second time
  • You keep sending the same video and it will not give out coins I watch it 3 or 4 times and it still wont give me any coins, so I refresh and hope for a new video and you still give me the same one, please send me a video that works I really need the coins thank you for your time.

    The videos do not give the coins any more. They give suprise boxes.

    Exactly the same for me as the last few posters.  I only ever got the supersonic videos for the past couple of weeks anyway and they haven't worked for me at all. Was hoping the latest update would have fixed this problem :(

    edit (1):  Wow, just tried the videos again and they actually worked!  Got the mystery boxes in my drop box.

    edit (2):  Seems I celebrated too early, just tried to watch the 4th video and 'hey presto' was taken to the cream screen :(

    In the last 2 or 3 days I could see just 3 videos with that advertisement from Supersonic.
    All the time when these appear (and they are repeated every 2 hours or at every login) the message is good : 'Sorry for any inconvenient. Please try again later!'

    Do you know these GGS?

    Or I suppose I didn't pay the ticket to go to the cinema?
  • I feel everyone's pain. They are great some days and some days not so great. I posted on a different thread about this issue. A member of my co-op is having an odd issue that I've not seen anyone post about yet.

    When we visit his farm we can see his drive-in in front of the library but he can't see it, I know not everyone was blessed and/or cursed with these, but does anyone else have this particular issue? I don't know of any other information I could dole out. He's on the US1 server using Firefox.

  • I am glad that "everyone" gets surprise boxes, does that include the non-testers? Since I am one of 2 in our co-op of 50 people who doesn't have the videos, it is getting very old. Two months is a long time to be in the minority who are not included. And as for those who can't understand why we would want to be included with all the problems-  you always have the option to pretend that you don't have them, just like me.
  • New ads:
    Ads will only play with ad blocker OFF. (and presumably anything else that blocks malware)
    When a video crashes, click the x and click watch ads, new video is loaded.
    The crashed videos counts towards your total of 5

    So 2 crashed ads + 3 watched ads = 3 surprise boxes.
    Rewards = 2000 dollars, violet seeds, 10 gold

    Conclusion:
    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    I'm not going to waste my time with that, before you had the right gold payout for the REAL MONEY you earned, this is just an insult, money grabbing with least effort outlay.
    You had a real money earner before, now most will not bother, so funny.

    ......i mean 2,000 dollars, i waste that in one click by over producing cattle feed.............


  • I absolutely hate the update for the ads... 
    Not worth it anymore. 

    I liked being able to choose my prize. 
  • Data King (US1)Data King (US1) US1 Posts: 7,994
    Mine have been working fine. :)  I have noticed that rewards are what they use to be. Getting less quantities of every thing.  :(
  • Something must have gone wrong.
    Had 3 sets of vids in the last 12 hours.
    3 boxes + 2 boxes + 3 boxes
    50% of vids don't work.
    Crashed vids don't reward but still count in total.

    Still not worth watching.
    If the payments are this bad, at least throw in a lottery win.

    it is one thing that the rewards for the comercials er enormus ( 20 høonningdugg + 3000 dollars for 4! boxes yesterday) but they stil don`t work probably - today 3 times with 1 minute "my litle pony" = 0 box  ? 

    No that`s not quite som expected 
  • Silvercat (GB1)Silvercat (GB1) GB1 Posts: 13

    The videos worked fine for me for a while (not huge rewards but a nice little bonus) but for the last week or more I just get the same one over and over and it crashes every time so I get nothing. I don't really care but it's a pointless feature if it doesn't even work properly.
