New Release -- December 22nd, 2009 - UPDATE 4

[Ginger's mom]

Every time there is an upgrade Farmtown gets better and better but I noticed after the last one that my seeder now only does one field at a time. Before it used to do 4 fields at a time. Is it just me? Do I need to do something different?

Go to preferences and "remove spaces".

I can't seem to hire my boyfriend since the upgrade...in fact, I can't see HIM at all on either my farm, his or my daughter's! I haven't a clue why this has happened. I can still visit his farm...he can still see me but has not been able to hire me! i'm disappointed because we used to help each other out and can't do it anymore.

I apologize if I have posted this in the wrong area, but don't know where else to go.

HELP!

I am having issues this weekend I have never had before. I cannot see people at my farm to hire them, I have to follow them to their farm. My xp's are not counting correctly when planting. I cannot use my big seeder to plant, but it is still using my fuel, I unit at a time when planting.

Thanks for all the work you do and allowing us the chance to express our views and opinions be they good or bad,,,,,,,, things seem to be much more settled at my end now and i love the tools being that bit smaller again

Still get time out issues but not to the extent i was getting them before so i'm quite happy at that,,,,,i can at least get a fair shake with jobs i am hired to do.

Blessings

I don't know if this is where this goes, but I like the new Farm Town except for one problem that happens almost all of the time now. Now when the zipped plots are uploading my $$$, no one can hire me to plow after I have harvested. The box stays stuck on enqueuing harvested field, or stuck on loading assets and never loads their farm for me to plow. This happened once in a great while before the new fix, now it does it most of the time. The only way that I get to plow is if I am hired just to plow and not harvest first. Very irritating.

1. The complains about the avatar been slow for some users when working for others should be now much less frequent or none at all, these should be noticeable mostly by users with slower computers.

Harvesting has slowed back down to a crawl for the first time in many many weeks!

Evidently only some servers are affected. More than one of my neighbors have told me that they like the changes. My only reasoning for this is that some were affected in a positive way, while us unfortunate ones try to explain to them about servers....as we plod along.....

I'm beginning to wonder if it is specific servers - yesterday while I was playing, I was switched around to several different servers, right in the middle of playing. I was lucky, I was working with a very nice farmer who even came to look for me after I was thrown off the game (my farm just suddenly started loading). We had both issued and accepted buddy requests, but after I ended up at my farm, his name was gone from my buddy list. Luckily he send me a note and I could click on his little green man and get back.

Here's what happened:
I harvested the entire farm. My avatar sped along like a good little energizer bunny, but the coins crept up very slowly, even though all the fields looked harvested. While we were chatting, the farmer left to look at my farm. When he came back, he commented that it was strange, only about 1/4 of his farm looked harvested. It was the corner about where my coin counts were floating up. Almost directly after that, I was thrown back to my farm while I was just sitting typing in the chat box.

The farmer sent me a note, so I got back to his farm by clicking on the green man. He rehired me, and I reharvested the other 3/4s of his farm again. this was a farm that was all field except for two squares! We chatted for a good long time, then when the coins finally all clicked up, he hired me to plow. Plowing points & coins took even longer to click up, and I had planned to hire him to harvest and plow my farm, but once I started, the game wouldn't let me hire him to work on my farm. I issued the request, but he never received it.

This very nice farmer hung with me while my coins/points clicked up slowly after plowing, then we both went over to my farm that he finished in a matter of moments.

During this entire process, I saw several times that I was moved to different servers. Maybe someone was watching me play and trying different servers? In any case, I didn't write down the numbers because I was frustrated with the game and barely care any more. Last night I was lucky, and had fun with one very nice farmer who was in the mood to chat endlessly with me, so we had fun. But I'm back again to only working on my own farm to try to level up. That means I work a lot on the weekend days I'm home, and don't do much all week.

I used to work in IT, am a very good acceptance tester, and would willingly work with you devs to help you debug what's going on if you let me know ahead of time when you would like to work. I can only help on weekends, I have a job during the week and can't spend hours and hours on FT.

Let me know if there's something specific I can do to help you figure out this problem!
