I too was stuck for ever on load screen despite trying all the usual PC/FB/FT housekeeping. Found it would load if I used the Play Farm Town button at the top of this page though.
Hopefully that helps someone
Haven't tried the new facs yet, BUT I do have a small issue with the update to the white writing information we get when we hire someone to work.
Am fairly sure I used to see what my hire was up to while I was working elsewhere or working facilities, or even just visiting non-neighbour farmers for CQ ingredients. Now it only shows when I am on my own farm, though obviously not necessarily the same farm as the hired worker. As far as I'm concerned this is not an improvement.
But I really do appreciate all the hard work the Devs put into this game.
And TY TY TY for the new levels and FC
