    @Artmaker (GB1) Whether a browser works with HTML5 or not is down to the browser not GGS, if it is not HTML compatible, it will not work.

    As you can see on the 2nd tab on this website  (other browsers) Safari is HTML capable on various versions, but none of them score very highly. :/
    Your just not understanding me.   MY browser works FINE WITH FLASH.   The problem is your gang fixed it so the site automatically redirects to the HTML version and they ONLY WAY for me to get to the flash version is IN GAME.    But safari can't read HTML so I can't get IN THE GAME to switch it back.

    All I need is a way to get IN THE GAME without being redirected to the HTML version which I can't get OUT of.

    I don't know how many ways I can explain this.  I can NOT upgrade browsers without first running two full OS upgrades and on two computers.   NOT for this silly game.   SO I'm stuck with firefox running slower than sludge even with flash.   It's so slow with html the game is not worth playing.

    I am using Opera for my browser . The only problems I am running into so far is that my chat box gets stuck all the time and now I find I cannot  copy and paste  my messages to my co-op. Such as I have all my Events  written down and saved in my in box, so every week I can post the the steps for the events coming up for my new members.

    Otherwise the switch seemed to be no big deal  for me.

    Not seeing this problem with my Opera (version 55.0).

    Are you using CONTROL+C and CONTROL+V to copy/paste?

    Huh, well this is a first time i see that Activity msg (16:47) :D:D:D



    What's weirder is that fellow coopmates do not see that Activity message. They see "started egg project".
    Edit: im using html on chrome, coopmate who sees the normal activity message is using flash.

    Nice catch. I'm seeing the same thing on Opera v55.0 (HTML5):



    This was for the "Strawbrained or Cabbage Head" project.

    On Opera v55.0 FLASH, I get this:



    On FireFox HTML5, I get this:



    On FireFox v62.0 FLASH I see this:



    So looks like it's something connected to the HTML5 engine, and FLASH users won't see it.

    The cursor is back ,thank goodness. My game has only frozen once in the last 2 hours.
  • MinionBob (GB1)MinionBob (GB1) GB1 Posts: 137
    My timers don't seem to be working properly on HTML. I am using Chrome on Linux. Not a major issue but they are helpful. They seem to freeze periodically, especially if I have dared to look at another site while changing from one farm to another (e.g.. loading main farm from gourmet, etc.). As you can see here, there are clearly items to collect, yet the timer still says nearly 3 minutes remaining.

    Well I don't even know how to pull up the flash menu shown there.  AND if you look at the part circled in red, there is an EXE file in the mix.   I'm on a mac, these don't use exe files.  
    SO thanks for trying, but this doesn't help.

    I just asked if there is a way to launch the game IN flash version. 
    Seems no answer has to mean no.   If admins had an answer to that I'm sure one would have posted it.

    Why is all the images blurry on html makes your eyes hurt... Just tried firefox and chrome both look the same and very slow, collecting is better but not moving from farm to farm also when you have collected lets say eggs it is so slow when clearing them off screen. The images look like a downgraded version of the flash one. I wonder how many are getting headache looking at this.

    and I would predict that you are all running HTML. I get it too but my mates running flash see it correctly. I'm sure GGS will get to it soon.

    Flash: if you have ex. fertile fields line up under each other ... chose crop ... dobbelt-click on field .. cursor will move till next field so you again can sow the same crop ... and you can carry on by dobbelt-click again. The same goes when you use humus.

    HTML: dobbelt-click works on fields when you sow crops but dont when you use humus. You have to move cursor to center of field ... its like the fields touch-area are smaller in HTML than Flash. Same goes for meadows and gardens.

    Icon over MF mill moves to the right if you use Mechanical Windmill-skin.

    Top screen: font for dollars and village-dollars not the same as lv, gold, .....

    Still having troubles with editing the News section in the co op over view in HTML.
    Switching to Flash one can edit it but not while in HTML.
    Running windows 10 with Chrome's latest version.

    Also having troubles copying/pasting messages to re send when needed to members as well as other farmers on the servers.
  • JanePlayer06 (US1)JanePlayer06 (US1) US1 Posts: 108

    I currently use Firefox 62.0.2  html

    The speed for harvesting has greatly increased. It has not slowed down too much in the evening after farming lots in the morning.   I used to use flash on IE   

    During a mission I can check the other farmer out by click on the green dot.  

    When training horses, the numbers go really odd when getting close to 1980.  Sometimes have to settle for 1985 to get maximum training.

    Information does not show right away when hovering over fish pools

    The chat box does not get stuck on Firefox but we are not able to copy and paste messages.   Same thing happens to my coop leader.  This gets really difficult when trying to communicate effectively.   Please fix this.

    Another annoying thing is that when a member sends the list of activities for the weekly events, Firefox squeezes it all together, it no longer stays in the list format.   Makes it really hard to read and quickly look at what is next.

    Still lagging after about 15 minutes in. Cursor continues to freeze in fist/move mode. A bit cumbersome trying to enter amounts to donate, sell, etc. Cursor "reach" larger than the display -- results in misclicks and flags pooping popping up near the cursor. Latest version of Chrome.

    Embarrassing typo edited -- thanks, again, MRG, for the laugh!

    "Chocolate Yogurt Happens"? :)

    The HTML version has been running very well for me on Opera v55.0 & FireFox v62.0 (both 64-bit).

    The inability to edit the "Co-Op News" in the HTML version is a show-stopper for me though, as I have to update it 2-3 times a day with the current Projects List, which building we're working on in the Co-Op Village, etc.  Right now I'm having to switch back and forth between the Flash Version and the HTML Version until this is fixed.

    Aside from that, the HTML version is smoother (graphically), faster, and more responsive. If it weren't for the News issue, I could ditch Flash right now and never miss it. :)
