    I'm afraid to look at my farm with all these posts in here today.  :neutral:

    some one in here somewhere asked us to give our input about the cursor dissapearing but I dont know where to put it so I will put it here.  I'm not having any trouble with it today but in the past few days the problem seems to present when I use the in game private message window.  I send a message to somone and when I exit the cursor has turned to the big I and it takes several minutes for it to switch back.
  • Will we be able to run this on mobile devices?  If we cannot, I will probably cancel my subscription.

    If it is truly HTM (and works) this should be no problem!
    I agree. I travel a lot for my job so now that I cant log on to game from my tablet anymore my game time has went way down. I wish they would fix that issue before adding other stuff. 



    I think that we need to assume that we lose tablet playing time.  You can get in via the HTML version with Safari, Chrome, Puffin, but you cannot control the screen and move it around.

    I still use the Flash version on my desktop.  Unless there are MAJOR changes to the HTML version, this is going to suck, big-time!  And from the announcement, there seems to be no reason to think it will improve.  I am prepared for the game to have a major setback tomorrow.

  • Now you don't see it...



    Now you do!!!



    And yes this was reported many times before and no you're not working hard enough to fix things...  You were definitely not ready to disable FLASH.

  • Good night game. The cursor disappears into a thin line you do not see where it is, it takes ages for the page to respond or switch over to the other farms. After all these years of playing , liking it, has it now very possibly come to an end. There is no fun playing a game that do not respond. No use to even consider a challenge when you stare at the screen waiting for it to come alive. HTLM was a gamekiller.

    @Magnetix (US1) maybe now more will  get fixed since they don't have to debug 2 platforms!!!! Rome was not built in a day!  :D

    I do agree some of these bugs have been reported since we started playing in html a couple months ago and I did sort of figure they would have been cleaned up... but all in all, most of it does not affect your game play, just drives you batty!!! 

    Let's give GGS some time to catch up since they were sick and on holiday! :)  Negativity will  not make anything better....

    Watch that new trader, they are still timed for how long you can purchase items.

    Questions:

    1.  Will the "combined trader" always be present?


    2.  Will the various tabs always be there, or will they come and go?  Example:  Will naughty and nice always be there?  Will the Champ Coins tab always be there?


    PLEASE give a very direct answer that is very clear.

    The building will always be present (well, at least if there's one trader in it), but the traders inside will come and go.

    I wonder why the game was so slow to load and craptastic, being on an older system myself I relied heavily on flash for performance, which just isn't there in HTML5.

    I'll probably be playing a lot less cause the lag takes the joy out of the game

    There is many things to try for people having Html issues

    Clearing Cache

    Trying new/different browser

    As far as i'm concerned , HTML runs perfectly for me, Using "Brave" browser


    Your just lucky then, most people have their favorite go to browser they use for everything, I do (Opera), people shouldn't have to change their software to suit GGS way of doing things...

    I had used puffin and was great switching to flash each time I logged in.

    I am now using Chrome 71.0.3578.99 and did the desktop site.

     I can log in but I can't seem to move the screen so I can't see my whole farm.  I tried full screen but it makes it worse.  I have tried zooming out but it's not far enough out to see my farm.

    Is Chrome supported?

    Bug: "Tell us what you think" will not keep focus.

    Description: Clicking on the "Tell us what you think" button brings up a text window, but you cannot type in it - it doesn't keep focus. If you click inside of the window, the cursor flashes for a brief second, then disappears. Typing in the window produces no text.

    Browsers Tested: FireFox Quantum 64.0.2 (64-Bit), Opera 58.0.3135.47 (64-Bit) & Chrome 71.0.3578.98 (64-Bit)


  • archerbob (AU1)archerbob (AU1) AU1 Posts: 531
    Chrome is no longer updated on my system, I tried to install "Brave" browser another poster mentioned and get nothing but error messages 0xc0000139 everytime I try to install regardless of whether I try 32bit or 64bit.  

    I just tried Pale Moon 27.9.3 and it's alot better than Opera, but still has some quirks.  The main bugs I am experiencing are:
    • Difficulty harvesting as the items that appear behind the zZ icon cannot be clicked on or hovered over to be collected, its like the zZ icon is solid and not transparent and is blocking me.
    • Settings change in the game do not take effect until I reload the game.
    • Lag (that I don't get with flash)
    • Mis-alignment of action circles appearing behind stuff  so I have zoom in and out and move the screen about to be able to click on an action to do stuff!

    my cursor keeps getting caught or stuck it is the arrow then all of a sudden well i am moving it it turns in to the hand and wont move it is like i clicked on something even if there is nothing there to even click on then i have to click it to get it unstuck i am very scared it is going to end up costing me gold cause it keeps doing it every couple min and it is also getting very annoying having to come to a complete hult when trying to move around and trying to click enough for it to let go
    M.ine has been doing this on and off since html was introduced.  Its very annoying because you have to be careful not to click on anything you dont want to..especially annoying during missions

    Well this is the death of my coop. I have had 5 member of my small coop tell me the game lag is so bad now it is unplayable,

    I to am having a big lag problem but I do not do missions so it is not critical to me, annoying and frustrating but not critical. The 5 member that contacted me all play missions and this has made game play impossible so by the end of the week if it is not fixed they are gone.

    Now 5 member s are not much but in a coop of 25 that is a lot and some of my coop have not logged in today yet so I am sure it will be more.

    Really a dumb thing to do is make it html only without making it bug free first, but heck that is what GGS dose introduce new things that do not work right and expect us to put up with it.

    Cursor continues to freeze in fist/move mode.  Lag is worse than ever.

    There appears to be some kind of display issue with the gifts on my tropical cowsheds. The gifts on the composter and windmill are okay though.


  • to all those complaining about the traders: look in the right corner of your parking lot, back row. That building contains ALL traders.
    Flower farm nursery ring work-around: drag your farm all the way to the bottom right, minimize your challenge window and you can access replant and fertilizer.
    Boat should be asking for proper fruit, but nursery seed display off kilter. Go to page 3 for proper Candy Farm seeds.
    Hopefully these are all short term hiccups.  Many display errors.

    Won't let me send off filled contracts in the organic market. Have to open and close the window several times before the truck turns green and I can send it off.

    Praise:
    - I love the new trade center! It's easy to navigate, and most importantly, you kept the option of buying gifts/sparkles with karma points without changing the price, thank you!!!!!
    - thanks for lowering the cat charms, I suddenly have three kittens running about!  :*  

    Bug report: (please forgive the humongous screenshots)
    Mostly graphic ones' similar to other people's posts:

     :D  :D:D  This misalignment is too funny not to share  :D:D:D




    note the rutabaga icon is also misaligned
    I switched back and forth from the layout mode (have not dared to move anything yet), clicked "finished" to get back to normal mode, then my mill no longer showed the glow, even though it still has the same gift on it as above
     mill has a gift but not glowing after using layout

    -the glow also disappears when hovering the mouse over it. Sometimes it remains disappeared, sometimes it comes back after removing mouse.

     found normal glowing gifts!!!

     misalignment in mission info box.. i miss flash  :s

    Gameplay issue:
    First time ever this happened: Wanted to collect my horse-training points, and click "collect" but nothing happened, window froze..

    the game crashed and automatically reloaded without me having to refresh the page, then this showed up:

    My internet was not the issue in my opinion, as websites on other tabs worked perfectly fine.
    After reconnecting, I went back to the horses and this time I could collect their training and restart training.

    Thanks for reading all this fuddle.

    OK so I got the Htm5 to work.  But I can no longer use touch screen. Why is this.  My hand hurts like hell using a mouse.  is there a way to fix this so i can use my touch screen again with the Htlm5???
  • maybe maybe not, but even if you can get it to work it probably won't work very well. sorry about your hand.
  • Unplayable on the mac still and guess what still no answers regarding this - not even a 'go away and stop asking' - says everything to me about how the whole lot of them feel about their customer base.    No way were GGS ready to roll out html5 as the only platform.  For some its bugs, for others is lag, and for some mac users the game is not even playable at all.  No point in complaining they wont even answer unless its a simple 'do this and it'll work' (ie clear cache and it will work) - anything to avoid having to correct their mistakes or take responsibility for the whole farce - nothing new there then.  I have a really important upgrade suggestion " how about upgrading your customer service for once - get some real answers to your customers, not just make do, blame it all on the players type.  

    Really upset by this one, moreso than all the other issues in the past, but I know my little gold spend isn't enough for them to have any desire to keep me as a customer - which again says it all.

    How old is your mac?  According to the team there are no specific issues related to Mac that we know of, there are some problems with very old computers (of all types).
