Now it takes about 30 mins to harvest all. In every browser. And yes, i have cleared all, reloaded and so on and so on. And all browsers and flashes and what ever i have latest versions.
Lot of miss clicks and i have lost gold, not too much yet, but still. I try to be careful but that does not help, when every click is "so slow" Hard to tell, but i think you know what i mean.
(No, i don't believe that is is about hamsters in holiday, not anymore, maybe it is GGS on holiday...)
What is going on?????

So - without a doubt - the cause must be found within GGS, as it apparently happens "to all THEIR games"...
as nothing else lags at our computer.
This is my very first game online (and prolly my last) but I hear from more frequent gamers that this happens to all games: in the end so many different elements are added, and so many extra animations, and so many events played so frequently at the same moment - that the game itself starts to respond more and more slowly until consequently the game provider will stop the game totally (not before the concept has been completely sucked empty, of course)..
Just my 2 cents.
EDIT: in addition: I always worked with IE, only started working with Chrome to be able to read the new forum (and watch video ads, but that I stopped doing for obvious reasons). Then I used Firefox and in the end Opera, but after a while the game starts lagging again, also on these last 2 browsers .... So IMHO it's not a typical "Chrome thing".
Guess what? I went back playing the game on IE again, and it works fine - not as fine as it used to work in the earlier days of the game, but at least better than with all the other browsers I tried. I now only read the forum on one of the other browsers.
I had firefox and IE, i removed those, IE did not work at all, not just with the game, but with anything. It made the whole computer stuck. So i had to remove it. Same with firefox. How can i be sure, that all those browsers (i have never even heard...) are working. I guess there's nothing but try...
No i have chrome and opera, works with everything else, but not with game.
I really think it is time for GGS to do something. And soon. You are loosing players because of this.
I already know couple, who has left the game because of all this mess.
I'm constantly forwarding all issues some of you guys have, and I'm optimistic that we'll be able to optimize everything even more,
That said, please also check on your end (and that's not specifically meant as a reply to Dara, but all players) and be sure that both your browser and Flash updates are, erm, up to date, and that you installed all proper video card drivers and everything.
Thanks for all your input,
Timo
- I also have big problems with the speed of the game in several different browsers and ensured me that I have the latest software.
- Do GGS's developers takes regard to that, it is not all of us are sitting with a brand new super gaming computer and a broadband connection of at least 20 Mbit?
I know that all mods are doing a good work in here, and they will convey most things to GGS. Somehow i don't believe that there are no one in GGS who reads this forum......
Moderators here are just messengers and i really don't want to shoot a messengers
I think it is a good offer, But maybe they don't think that your offer is something that GGS wants to know.
I would appreciate any feedback from others who have, or will, try it. Brian are you willing??
As soon as we have a potential fix, we usually pass it on in here so people can try and test it, and we had a lot of user generated potental solutions as well in the relevant threads. And if new ideas/solutions/fixes come up, we'll of course inform you.
Greetings,
Timo
If you would like to make sure Brian reads your request you should type his name like this: @BriannospamGame (SKN1)
Therefor you need to type @ and the first few letters of the name; a little window with a list of names will pop up and you can make your choice.
Edited to add Thanks Jiesta for the tip about sending a message : ) Pretty bad typist here.
It is ridiculous that the Big Farm customers are expected to jump through hoops to play this game. I mean, seriously: 4 browsers?
That doesn't work for me. I don't get a pop up list anymore and I can't seem to properly tag someone.
Not even when you try to really type the name yourself, Jess? Coz I know that when I copy&paste a name after the @ (what I often tried because those names can be so complicated that copy&paste seem to be the solution - but it is not!), then it doesn't work for me either. I really have to type the @ and the letters of the name one for one myself each time.
Yea I type @ followed by the full name, even the ( ) with the sever in between. It will link the name but anything after a space isn't included so it doesn't actually tag them or create the correct link to their profile. I think it doesn't like me.
Let me try your name & see if it works.... @Jiesta (NL1) I got a pop up that time.
Edit: I guess some names work & some don't. That's weird.
If this truly is a chrome/flash issue it should affect all of us. Seriously GGS needs to stop the videos and see if it makes a difference for all the players before they have no players left.
I did install Opera to test it and that also had zero issues for me to use it for Big farm.
I am playing on Chrome right now with 7 tabs open and zero issues.
I am not posting to annoy people I am truly sorry that it is not working for many but GGS insisting it is a chrome/flash player issue just does not ring true to me.
I already have say, I'm willing to be a tester for that, and I know there also are other players outthere with more than one farm... maybe also other players than me are willing to be a tester for the video function on/off ?
This is IMO the second time @BriannospamGame (SKN1) makes this very good suggestion, and offers his own farm/account.
GGS want their players to test this, then let us test it the right way. We are being guinea pigs for 10 weeks in a row now, apparently to no reveal ... so maybe it would be time now to try something else? Like f.i. the excellent suggestion from Brian?
I used FF and Chrome & I haven`t had any issues with either of them, I also have a video couch on only one farm, but it has never had any videos available. I think the problem does have a connection to browsers, but not ONLY which browser you use, otherwise everyone using that browser would have the same problem. It must be some sort of combination of browser/flash/java/graphics cards/security/connection along with the various update versions of programs.
