    @jules314 (US1)  and @Buzzard (AU1) Thank you both -- we've already had two members log out until the challenge is over. :(

    Hi guys, thanks for the fresh reports! We're working on some resolutions and I hope we can bring you some solid news about progress soon.

    @GeckoFarmer (INT1) it looks like the lag is spreading to your fingers :O Shall I send our resident vet Vicky over to take a look? If she offers you a handful of hay or a salt lick don't mind it, she's just used to helping things with a couple more legs than you have ;)

    Hi guys, we just had a no downtime fix on all the servers. Would be wonderful if you could let me know if you see improvements in the lag. There will still be some slowness when you open the challenge list, that's a separate problem we are looking to solve but if the overall performance has improved it would be great if you could let me know!

    P.S., if you had lag before the update please compare it to how the game usually performs for you and if it has improved since the major lag issues hit us. Thanks guys!

    At the beginning everything is fine, but after a while it starts to get slower and more and more.
    I have tried with several browsers and in all the same thing happens.

    Members in our coop say, "a little", but still lagging.

    Currently the best solution i have found to the lag problem is by reloading the main farm page every 15 minutes or so...or whenever you feel the lag is happening.

    as soon as the page is reloaded, the lag disappears for sometime , whenever it comes back i just reload the page again. The reload hardly takes 10 seconds. but it is worth it. The best part about it is that the mind gets used to the habit of reloading every few minutes and the game becomes a much more happier experience.

    Try it .

    This is a good solution till the time the lag issue is solved.
    Is it meant for joke? Or you really think it's a GOOD solution?

    Not a good solution, obviously, but it IS a good workaround until GGS can isolate the problem.  At least on my machine.  Every 15 to 20 minutes, the lag gets so bad I have to close-reopen the page - things work fine for a few minutes, then the lag builds up until farming is not possible.
  • no improvement here, I am afraid. Incredibly slow whilst a challenge is on.
  • Loads of lag when challenges are on, seems to go away when challenge is over. Oddly an f5 refresh/reload seems to clear the lag for a period even with the challenge running, after some time it comes back. Its as if something in the code is causing a buildup of data filling available memory and causing the lag.

    Seems to me a case of lazy PPP coding needing a review.

    It's okay when you first log in but gets slower and slower as time goes on xxxx

    Seems like the lag an slowness is getting worse. I can refresh and it will be okay but after the second harvest It is time to refresh again. If I open the challenge I am immediately done. Going to be a long weekend on Bug Farm.

    Lag better early this morning. So bad now, I had to leave the game. Refreshing and returning did not help. 
  • Lag still dreadful here too - having to refresh (exit game, exit chrome, clear cache) after just a few harvests - cache usually only 50mb or so, so its not that.  When no challenge is active its lots better so has to be something to do with the new vf.

    That's our experience, too.

    if you dont activate a challenge you can play without a delay for about 20 min then you have to reload the game.

    if you activate a challenge then the game slow down everytime you deliver product to the challenge ... and you have to reload game every 5-10 min depending on how long the production-time are on the products for the challenge.

    and as usual if you jump between farms that slow down the game to.

    Patterns: lag seems to happen after about 20 minutes, then need to refresh the game. This problem started occurring around the time of the Village Fair update/introduction. (Is there a possible memory leak or object leak in the newer code?)
  • Big Farm is Lagging so bad for the last 2 days.  I have to reboot every time I go from one farm to another and everytime I harvest something.  I know it is ggs because it isn't doing it anywhere else.. I can not play like this.  Having to reboot 3-4 times in a 30 min mission is bull.  I tried 3 other browsers and they are all doing the same thing as Chrome.  Something needs to be done

    Patterns: I have had unbearable lag none stop once you did the village fair update.

    I find myself refreshing the game every time after I harvest my main farm. I ted to make it threw the gourmet and flower farms without a refresh, it's lagged but no so much that I can not manage. If I don't refresh before I must harvest several buildings I find myself so lagged it's hard to keep from spending gold on a building.

    The chat is also lagged.

    The lag continues....no improvement here at all. I have resorted to running 30 minute challenges with a decent gap in between just so players in my group can have some break from the lag. Its slowed our progress quite a bit at times but from my point of view there's few things worse than a laggy gaming experience so we are trying to avoid it as much as possible without giving up on the event.

    Patterns: Delay (lag) occurs whenever Village Fair challenge is running. Occurs during both day and night. Occurs both when other co-op members are active and when I am the only member active. When I first login the lag is less, but as time passes the lag increases. Clearing Flash Player cache has no effect. Clearing Chrome cache has no effect. Reducing size of Village Fair indicator on right side of screen has no effect.

    No improvement on lag .... and even worse if a  challenge on

    Refreshing every 5 to 10 minutes takes all enjoyment out of farming

    Lag means have to close and open between each challenge

  • Team members are not playing game until this VF is over. Please can we get help to fix the lag? Everyone in co-op is complaining. :(((
