    I don't know what an F5 reload is and would doubt most people do.  Why do we have to figure out ways around coding error?

    Using "Brave" Browser, with HTML5

    Its working like a Charm!

    F5 is a function on your keyboard...




    You can also use the "Re-load" button in your browser



    "Why do we have to figure out ways around coding error?"

    Because GGS in their infinite wisdom choose to give us a game that we love, but fill it with bugs because they obviously do not have their complete act together. That goes from top management right through to the poor person at the bottom who continually has to send out generic replies to our complaints. The majority of their problems could be solved quickly and reasonably easily. I know, I used to own an ISP business and trust me, we never put anything online without thorough testing, and if a bug happened to get through the gap, that problem was immediately withdrawn and fixed. No "If's, But's and Maybe's", it was done and customer complaints were dealt with in such a manner that they were left saying "Wow".

    Nothing wrong, with helping yourself, or being helped by others within the community

    There is many helpful souls, who openly share their tricks that actually "Works"
    So you dont entirely depend on GG

    Life always offer many options , we dont always find/use the best one right away

    @WascallyWabbit
    may be you should propose tham a good compenstation about all the bugs we had meanwhile the key team members of GGS were in holidays, and not only to wait for them to return the gold Santa took from us
    and i mean a really good compenstation, a serious one, not a couple of seaweeds and some useless seeds
  • Give us credits for dung on the horse farm toolllll

    1)Deep see fishing needs adjusting: a  more equal catch of each kind of fish, so there is always at least one pond to each kind.
    2)Gold lock, has been requested for many years, I lost gold on this weeks event today again, because a pop-up screen just happened to past by again.
    3)To many CC, it is kind of boring with the CC, the more gold used, the more you win...not very exciting. We like bedre the village fair, where everybody can help each other. That is more a koop spirit.
    4) We missed the santa´s event this year, again, where we used to help each other. That gives a good team spirit.

    No mention of the gold lock was an oversight I'm sure. Gold lock was promised and is coming once the flash version of the game is abandoned, though why they don't just put the gold lock on for the HTML 5 version now I'm not sure. Is it a "delay as long as possible" tactic?

    Am looking forward to new farm machine levels. I currently have over 30,000 certificates and with my machines at maximum, am not motivated to do missions currently. Do we just get new levels or new machines as well? What will level 8 and beyond unlock besides a decreased cool down period?

    I am also looking forward to Deep Sea Fishing changes. My suggestion is that new fishing pools can be unlocked at higher fishing levels and maybe then bought like land expansions. Currently, once we get to about fishing level 90, there is nothing else to unlock, so maybe be able to unlock a new pool every 20 levels or so and also unlock more boats at higher levels.

    And it will be good to get back the layout mode.

    No mention of the fourth island anymore? Wasn't there also a mention somewhere of improvements or additions to the temporary farms in another post about 2019? Level 5 buildings and extra land expansions for these would be nice.

    When flash is gone, so are a lot of players.  HTML just doesn't work for me.  There are still many bugs in it. It shouldn't be up to us to go in/out, clear, change browsers every day, etc.  It should WORK when rolled out.
    When flash is gone more than maybe all of my coop is gone. Any of us that try to play on html the lag is so bad they tell me are done for the day. I remind them to switch to flash and they say thank you for got and then end up playing for a while longer. If we had only HTML5 now the lag is so bad my coop would only have maybe 2 people left in it and a new leader as I will not play a game I have to fight with to play.

    I use chrome with HTML5 and the lag is so bad. I can not play a mission or anything you have a tie clock for due to lag. To equip a boat is a good 5 minutes longer than it is with flash. 

    Fellow coop member all complain of lag on html doing making doing missions useless.

    Now cal me nuts if you want but I should not have to have 4 or more browsers on my computer just to play a game.  I use chrome for everything and have no problems with anything other than HTML5 with this game. That tells me the game is the problem. 
  • I use Chrome, and play HTML5 with not any more lag than flash. Once I got use to HTML5, I like it .

    Yes same here. HTML5 is working perfectly fine right now.
  • @DebRN (US1) @stef7 (US1)

    Have y'all updated to more recent versions of Chrome?

    The game had gotten so full of lag for me when running the Flash version I couldn't wait for HTML to be live. I was ready to leave Coop life because the VF and all the events were killing Flash.

    I have no speed issues with HTML. There are other minor issues, but I'm not refreshing the game every 15 minutes like it had gotten with Flash.
  • JVD (US1)JVD (US1) US1 Posts: 2,784
    I play in HTML in Chrome and  have no issues with lag... it is far superior to Flash, IMHO! I do not have to refresh game constantly as I did with Flash, I can play with the animations on all day without refreshing with all the events running etc.

    There are things that GGS needs to get fixed in html to bring it up to speed as discussed in the HTML thread and other various threads.
  • artful (US1)artful (US1) US1 Posts: 6,617
    I have the latest version of Chrome, and pretty powerful machines, and still get awful lag when a lot of events are running. The lag usually hits about 15 minutes in. Up to then, no problems.. If I log out and wait a bit every so often, I'm fine.

    Thank you GGS!!!

    Sorry @JVD (US1) I should have mentioned the announcement, got a bit excited :)

    https://community.goodgamestudios.com/bigfarm/en/discussion/187989/announcement-issues-over-christmas-2018#latest

    Announcement - Issues over Christmas 2018
    "Hello farmers,

    First of all: Thank you for your patience and sorry that we kept you waiting!

    We can finally give you news on the problem with Santa’s Workshop which occurred during the Christmas break. During the 2nd run-time of Santa’s Workshop, from December 20th until January 1st, 240 gold was deducted under certain circumstances when the event was opened. We’ll give every player, who lost gold due to this faulty event behavior, their spent gold back. We were able to compile a list for this data and the reimbursement will be performed soon.The date will be given as soon as it’s confirmed.

    The other issues, which occurred, will be dealt with over the next days and we’ll keep you informed in this thread.


    Your Community Team"

    "The return of gold is scheduled for tomorrow (Wednesday 9th) around midday CET"

    Again we have to suffer a HWE with an impossible target. 20,400,000 for a GML is totally outrageous. I have said it before and I will say it again, I guarantee if the "BUG" made the target 2,040 it would be fixed in 5 minutes flat. Come on GGS, give us a Happy New Year.

    Exactly, i will be one of the ones leaving when it goes to html, it is too slow and even worse for lag, when all said and done it is not down to browsers,its down to coding something they dont seem to be able to fix. Mind you i dont play the game much anymore i used to buy gold every week and play almost 24/7 but now i only play when coop events are on then i go off and play other games, i got so sick of all the bugs, rubbish rewards, ccs etc too often and ggs never listen to players, they put out broken events, apologize but then put them out again unfixed.  i did purchase the subscription but i will be cancelling that too after it runs out this month.

    Thank You GGS for giving my gold back, and for 2 FHWE this month.
      I still have some grouse- CC, CHWE, AGAIN CC back to back :((
  • 5-10 Man (AU1)5-10 Man (AU1) AU1 Posts: 249
    What was that about bugs. They strike again... HWE and construction slot coins. Where are they? Do we have to start taking screenshots of everything before and after? No point in writing yet again to GGS only to receive another generic reply, "we are sorry, but clear your cache and reload". Sorry, been there done that and rebooted the PC for good measure. Now before anyone jumps on the bandwagon and says stop being negative - nothing could be further from the truth. I love this game, all I want is for all the problems to be fixed. Simple!!! That is what all the "negative" people want. FIX THE BUGS



    Only needed 4 coins..........................




  • grrr (NL1)grrr (NL1) NL1 Posts: 664
    Your screenshot shows you've won tokens for the wheel, not construction coins ;)
  • JVD (US1)JVD (US1) US1 Posts: 2,784
    @5-10 Man (AU1) I got construction tokens at 430,000 pts, wheel tokens at 650,000 and will get more construction tokens at 2,800,000...

    All looks correct to me...  :)

    @grrr (NL1)  @JVD (US1)

    OMG, now I am totally embarrassed. My humblest apologies go out to GGS on this occasion. 😳 Am I allowed to blame it on trying to do too much at the one time. At the time of writing, I was in 4th place on the Candy Farm, 2nd place in the HWE and 8th in the WWC. At the same time madly taking screenshots and collating data into excel for some tutorials I am writing for the co-op I'm in. I do try my best to help my fellow players.  o:)
  • Umm with the garage...

    Delete the Humus Pro and instead have the laboratory make premium humus.

    Also the Farm Flash is pretty useless...  The bakery doesn't do much for us now.

    Introduce a Combine to increase field production for 1 hour, and another machine to increase orchard production for one hour just like the Powerhouse does for barns.

    Also have the machines affect all 3 farms.  WE WOULD ALL LOVE THIS!!!

    Don't be embarrassed, this is coming from someone who skipped the donate corn in the camping event with gold by accident while having 16 fields loaded with special corn :s:D
  • JVD (US1)JVD (US1) US1 Posts: 2,784
    @5-10 Man (AU1) I think @grrr (NL1) has you beat! LOL

    No worries... we all do some embarrassing things in this game and in RL! :)
