The newest version of Flash has issues that make some of the features of Farm Town not work properly when using Firefox or Chrome.  The forum at Slashkey is loaded with complaints regarding this and it doesn't seem to matter what computer or operating system is being used.  How long will it be before there is a fix?

    I've played FarmTown a fair bit and while its been a while I understand what you are saying.  Can you give me your platform (OS, Browser version, Player version) information.

    Thanks,

    Hi everyone. I have great news....we fixed the issues and appologize for the problems cause by our last update.  Sometimes good intentions have a negitive impact.  In this case we found the problem and fixed it as soon as possilble.

    A new flash player was released this morning!

    Hi,


    I use Google chrome and occasionally IE. Forget FF...that used to be so good, sucks now. I am an avid FarmTown player via FaceBook.  Since the new "forced upon me" Flash update my game is impossible to play.  I am enough computer savied, and I have done everything to fix Adobe's woes.  My last resort was to disable Shockwave 10.3 r183 in Chrome but the only thing that this action fixed was correct the vertical 3 letter words.


    I have gone through 3-4 delete flash/reboot/re install new version, increased flash space used, had my registry cleaned via purchased remote programs, and the woes continue. 


    Why do you people stop us from downloading an old version ??????? 


    Why do you push for a lousy version that has brought many a game players such trouble? 


    Why don't you just remove it from the updates?


    What is the most common FarmTown player issue??  constant server disconects, farms won't open, farms freeze, and the ugly Flash player puzzled caricature saying that flash is unresponsive, close tabs? 


    Take a trip to Slashkey.com forums and see the numerous pages of same complaints, all leading to Flash how to, answers. Facebook said the same thing. Flash is messing up the game.


    Do something, besides blaming our computers, memory and graphics cards. These things don't go bad all at the sam etime and across the globe. We all share the same thing   FLASH PLAYER.

      Sometimes security changes to the player will require updates from some content creators.  We do our best not to break content as to negatively affect the user experience but in the case of security its more imporant to keep "your" computer safe sometimes.   I am sure they are aware of the changes and are working on fixes as we write these posts.

      If you can let us know of the specific features that are no longer working it could help our internal investigation.

      We were told this is an Adobe issue and not a Facebook or Slashkey issue.

      The specific issues, which may not make sense to anyone not playing Farm Town, is that when we hover over a crop or tree, we would normally see what it is, if it's fertilized and the percentage of growth.  This information is usually two short lines.  Since the update we now we only the first 3 characters and they are vertical instead of horizontal.

      I should also mention that I CAN see the information if I zoom all the way in or sometimes when I am at the outside edges of the farm.
