    Just another quick tip - if you've pinned the Flash Player to your START menu, you can edit the "Properties" and modify the "Target" line to add the https://media.goodgamestudios.com/games/ranch/goodgameranch.swf to the end of it, then all you have to do is click on that shortcut to launch BF automatically.  In my case, it would read:

    "C:\Program Files\Flash Standalone Player\flashplayer_27_sa.exe" https://media.goodgamestudios.com/games/ranch/goodgameranch.swf

    Your "C:\Program Files" folder will probably different (plus I'm running the 27 Beta), so don't worry about that part of it - just add the https://media.goodgamestudios.com/games/ranch/goodgameranch.swf to the end of whatever yours is, on the "Target" line:



    You can see where I added it at the end of the line, right after the closing quotation mark "

    Just a shortcut so you don't have to copy/paste the URL every time. :)



    Copy and paste is not necessary : after opening it one time, it will be in your list.
    But adding the link to the properties is even faster. Beware to use a space between the quotes (.exe") and the start of the link (https.....) ; else you get an error trying to save the properties.

    Hello Big Farmers !

    We have a suggestion to help you play Big Farm in a faster environment and it's as safe as playing in your browser!

    This is the same flash player that you are using when you play on Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer, Edge or any other browser but it works without the need of any browser and therefore the performance of Big Farm should see a benefit and your experience should be a lot smoother.

    How to use it:
    1. Click on this LINK a separate flash player will download on your computer. [Clicking the link will automatically start the download].
    2. Open the file and select "Run" to open the Flash Player.
    3. Select File-->Open and in the window that appears paste this link: https://media.goodgamestudios.com/games/ranch/goodgameranch.swf
    4. Click "OK" and Big Farm will start loading!




    We hope this will improve your experience in Big Farm even more 

    Disclaimer: Any action in-game that would usually open a new window or tab (buying gold, clicking the forum or support buttons for example) will open a new browser window outside of this flash player. In the case you are purchasing gold do not worry, the gold will be added to your account as usual.

    Disclaimer 2 : If you want to use the standalone flash player instead of the browser plugin please be aware of the fact that you cannot profit anymore from the security systems the browser provides. Therefore you are responsible for implementing enough security mechanisms on your pc.
    We cannot take any responsibility for problems which may occur on your pc by using this tip!


    Best Regards,
    Your Community Team


    Edit:  Disclaimer 2 added
    Does this work on Android?

    Thanks!  Works for me too.  So glad someone thought this up as it has made a big difference when playing this game.

    Thanks for the heads up on the updated flashplayer!!
    After hotfix, it will be nice to see if this new version reduces the number of times I get kicked off when moving to temp farm or visiting other farms to water trees or give sparkles.  :)

    Sorry to say but I still get kicked out. Mostly when going to the temp farms. So no improvement going from version 26 to 27.
  • Sorry to say but I still get kicked out. Mostly when going to the temp farms. So no improvement going from version 26 to 27.
    @Kimmiecat (NL1) Does it kick you out while it is still "loading assets" or do you get as far as the temp farm & then it freezes up & eventually kicks you out?

    I think it has to do with unique flora and fauna of the islands. Cat's as predators are not allowed and usually get kicked out at the customs. :)

    Even if the cat is domesticated and well brought up, like me?

    @WascallyWabbit  I don't know....I will have to pay better attention when switching to the island. I will let you know.

    I think the immigration code said something about a lengthy period of quarantine, reeducation and naturalization, and after that inhabiting only a cage sealed by custom officers with the seal being regularly checked. :)

    @Kimmiecat (NL1) Thankyou. :)

    Which browser do you use & do you have animations on or off?

    @WascallyWabbit

    What browser I use...??? I use the separate flashplayer (see subject of this post) , version 27.

    I have flash animation on, in high quality.

    Version 26 had the habit of kicking me out and unfortunately version 27 is no improvement.


    Playing BF is a browser is like trying for a worldrecord on the 100 mtr whilst wearing wooden shoes

    Today I went to the test server using the flashplayer. I played for a while but then I got kicked when switching to my flowerfarm.  After that the flashplayer will no longer load the game.
    In chrome I switched back to my regular farm, hoping that would solve the problem. No luck.
    I restarted my computer....no luck. So somehow  the testserver corrupted the flashplayer, which will not work anymore. 
    Hopefully someone has a tip how to get it working again

    I even deleted the flashplayer and downloaded it again. But is does no longer work. It starts up with a blue screen with Goodgame logo and then goes blank.

    I finally  cleared flash in my computer settings and then went to chrome flash settings and removed all the goodgame settings. Now the flashplayer works again. I hope teh testserver does not cause this problem to often, otherwise my testing days are over soon.

    Try clearing your flash player cache.

    In Chrome, you have to go to THIS LINK and click "Delete all Sites".

    For Internet Explorer & Firefox, follow the instructions HERE.

    For Opera, the instructions HERE will help ya out.

    {Edit. LOL, ya fixed it while I was looking up all the links. No fair! :)  But yeah, you'll probably have this problem again if you use the same browser to play on the LIVE servers and the TEST server, as the Flash Cookie between the 2 servers appears to be incompatible.  Just get in the habit of clearing your Flash Cache whenever you change from one server to another and you should be OK}.

    Thanks @Southern (US1)
    I either use chrome or the standalone flashplayer. And after trying out several things, I got my flashplayer running again.  Quite a relief because the game is so much faster and the grafics are better. 
    So for now I will play the testserver in chrome and will use the flashplayer only for the live server. Hopefully this will prevent it from happening again. And I will not open them simultaniously.
    Coming from years of using Firefox (that has become an unusable browser)  and switching to Chrome, it was a bit of a search where to find my flashmanager.
