Game slowness

Why is the game sooooooooooo slow?  Is ggs doing something behind the scenes? Why do we have to clean cache and exit out of browser every 10 min? Serious questions, not being funny.  Really want to know. Went from 1 happiness to zero last few days.

    Forgot to add, it is not just me. Other players also have this issue.

    That's interesting DU because I also play on AU1 but am having no performance problems at all. Very strange!
    I was having problems a couple of months ago and discovered, quite by accident, that closing the laptop down completely and restarting it fixed them. I cannot imagine why this should work but it did.
  • @Uncle John (AU1)  it has only been happening to me last couple of weeks.  I have done everything to try fix.  My wife who has lesser computer and on same network is not having the same problem.  She was a few weeks ago but hers is better now.  I restart my PC every couple of hours if I am playing THIS game ATM and clear cache every 15-20mins.  I have tried Chrome, Firefox and Edge, all the same

    The performance can depend on the specs of your computer too, are other tabs open while you are playing BigFarm if yes, try closing them and playing that would be the best option.

    my spec are way better than my wife's only tabs open on mine are bigfarm and forum open NOTHING else running. , she has bigfarm, and usually another facebook game, facebook, messenger, running same time.  Done everything to see if it is this end, virus and malware checks, reset modem , full clean of gaming PC and cleared cache.   BTW I am a computer tech by trade for over 20 years, so I do know a little about them. Here are the specs for my PC, I think you will find them plenty good enough even tho it is a couple years old now.

    Here is my video card if that is going to be your next question.  Again couple of years old but plenty good enough.  And yes I use a touch screen on my PC, saves a LOT of clicking

    That is a pretty outstanding configuration, in that case, can you try playing using a private window?

  • yes done that as well, this only started about 2 weeks ago, I don't even do the DW ATM because can't have another tab open.  I did not worry about saying anything until someone else was having same prob
  • One other question: Do you have multiple browsers open at the same time?  Some players have 2 to 4 browsers open to play big farms games they have on different servers, so that they can go from browser tab to browser tab to play.  I am wondering if these multiple open browsers may affect computer performance?  Just a thought. :)

    @BugsBunny @ChickadeeQuilter   actually I have had a thought on what may be causing it.  May want to ask developers.  I did screenshot of private window and my game settings showing I always have set with no animation, quality low and no other boxes.  But my thought was it MAYBE the link I am using.  It is the address for friend invite.  I will try NOT using it and see if that helps.   I was using that address so it was easier to copy and send to friend (no takers so far...lol).  It is also something I have only been using last couple of weeks so timing is correct

    The official URL to play is https://bigfarm.goodgamestudios.com, the words after that is the URL Path, which doesn't really matter.

    My game is running rather laggy for the past few days, i only have the game tab open and also have very good pc.

    I have the same trouble with the game getting laggy. Some days worse than others. I have tried multiple computers in the house and they all get really slow after playing the game more than just a few minutes - sometimes, and sometimes with less play time than others. I have tried chrome, opera, firefox & brave, it happens on them all. I clear cache & internet history before opening the game, and it is the only thing running when I play (no other tabs, not even forum).  Sometimes I can tell when it slows, such as after loading DSF boats. On one computer in the house, when it is laggy, I will get a little white block that pops up saying it's waiting on a certain website, none of which we visit. For eg; the last one I noticed was "waiting for facebook.com". Now why it's waiting for facebook while playing bigfarm, I have no idea. I have never accessed this game (nor any game) from facebook, which I rarely visit in any case. Yeah, makes me wonder too.

     The official URL that BugsBunny listed above, is the one I have saved in my bookmarks, so no strange link here. Just a lot of extra background stuff or tracking or something by the game is all I can guess. It does seem to get worse after some updates too, at least from what I perceive.
