i read the known issues that have been reported since the Jan 19th release but didnt see my issue on the list.

when using the dimmer option, regardless if i choose dim or hide, everything goes in slow motion and 9 out of 10 times i get a connection time out message then less then 1 minute later after i click the green button to try again, i get the other error message with the X025 message and have to reload my farm, this seems to happen mainly when i am chopping/harvesting trees on my farms or when working for another farmer harvesting crops if they have alot of other stuff on their farm, even if i have everything hidden.


if i am working for another farmer all i can do is ride it out and keep clicking the green button to retry or the red x to not reload the farm since i would lose the job which usually takes a few minutes to straighten out then it runs smooth again for another farm or 2 then the same thing happens and i have to ride it out again.


if i keep the dim option unchecked, i dont have any time outs or X025 message. it was my understanding that this last update was supposed to fix the dim out issue but for me the lagginess when using this feature seems worse then before

i clean everything out before coming to FT including using memcache, everything is fine for the 1st farm or 2 then its slower than molasses flowing uphill in winter with lots of repeated time outs.

i love having this feature just wish i could use it without all the timeouts and lag
