New mobile play issue?

Has anyone who routinely logs in from their phone noticed a big change in the last couple weeks? 

A couple of weeks ago the game was running great now cant do anything. I have tried multiple browsers, cellular and WIFI connections. 

Yes i am aware that the game is not meant to be played from a phone...but it has been working well for a while. 

Does it still work for anyone?

    Hello @setxfh (US1)

    The BigFarm Classic edition is not designed for mobile phones, and it is a PC game, even though you are able to play it on mobile phone as the frontend technology is html5, however it is not recommended to play from Mobile as the game is made for PC, and in mobile there will be unexpected issues and compatibility issues as it is a game targeted at PC audience.

    Most of us do use mobile as an alternative to play the game sometimes, however the best performance is guaranteed on a PC.

    There is a sister game of BigFarm called "BigFarm: Mobile Harvest" which is made for mobile and works 100% fine on mobile :)

    Regards,
    Bugs Bunny

    yes, as I noted I am aware its not designed to run on mobile but has been working until a couple weeks ago for me.

    you said "most of -->us<-- do use mobile as an alternative to play the game sometimes" 

    This sounds to me like you are well qualified to answer my question but chose not to or didn't read what I wrote.

    I am trying very hard to be polite, but your response had almost nothing to do with what I wrote. 

    I would like to know if the issue is on my end or relevant to a recent update to the game. If its due to an update clearly its a waste of my time to put any further effort in at this moment. 

    So my question still stands-

    Currently is anyone able to login from their phone and play?

    I just tried accessing the game on Mobile, and it seems to work fine for me, did you try clearing your cache? and may i know what browser you are using on Mobile?

    This was not working but seems to be now. I tried this several times before posting. 

    Adblockplus

    Cannot login at all. Even with the protection functions disabled. See the blue loading screen, then the green background with the barn but no loading bar at the bottom and it just sits there. This used to load and run very quickly.

    I had been running the adblock plus browser for a long time-since playable on html5. It ran the game great and it was helpful to have a secondary browser setup for the game. This setup would let you fully run your farm from your phone if needed. I little slow to click but fully functional and great to keep things moving along. 

    Puffin
    I used to use this when it was still flash, but keyboard wont stay up when attempting to type login info. bring up keyboard and it takes me out of the text box-click on text box and keyboard goes away. I tried this one because none of my others were working.

    Firefox
    Just today with more patience I was able to login and actually click on something, it takes forever. The lag from loading and clicking on things is bad enough I would not suggest anyone trying this unless you just needed to click 1 thing for a hardworker event or do an upgrade.  

    Thanks for getting back to me, I just really wanted to know if it was still possible and point out that something changed recently.

    Like i stated above, it matters on alot of things like the browser you are using, its version and the device you are using etc. 

    Since the game was not built for mobile devices, there is nothing we can do about such issues unfortunately, sorry!

    Yes, as I said in my 1st two posts the game is not meant to be played on a mobile device. 100% clear on that no point in saying it again, and again. 

    I never asked for a remedy or for resources to be applied to it. Just asked as a friendly player to other friendly players to let me know if they are able to login from their mobile device because I was struggling with the method I use very often. 

    Thank you for checking to see if logging in from your mobile device still worked. That is exactly what I was looking for and I was able to resolve the issues on my end by using a different method.
