Default switch to HTML5

Hi,
I clicked the link provided to try the new version of the game. The field that shows the farms turned black with a 3 sided cube in white and a bar below it that filled in in white and stopped. Nothing else happens. Game area remains black.

I can click on play or other options and they all work. So I clicked on Play and it works as usual, is that how it works?

Usually the game loads with white background then opens on default farm.

I am working from a 2009 iMac desk top

Thank you Carol Ann

All of the wording surrounding it - the fuel,coins, map of farms, level, name of farm, upper right tools and the lower neighbor box still remains almost impossible to read. I'm sorry!!! I noticed other people having the same issue. You guys work so hard and I hate to complain.

Checked out the new link and while it was a bit slow loading, the graphics look good. Using Firefox browser, with Win 10 on a 2 year old desktop.

Edit: Tried a second time and the game loaded about 25% faster. I'm good with that.

Will see how my older laptop with Win 7 does in a bit.....

My thanks to all the developers, programmers, and anyone else associated with this move. I can only imagine how much time and work went into getting this accomplished.

I got the same thing. Chrome is up to date but I do run a number of extensions. I'll try disabling those and see what happens

Is freestyle DIRECT FROM STORE missing a glitch or a delayed feature?

Hi Chris,
That is another possibility.

Hi Mister = T,
The first time you load it all the graphics have to be downloaded to your browser, so that is why it is slow the first time.

Hi KnittyGirl,
I am with you about the text size and have sent this to the developers. Hopefully it is something that can be increased easily enough.

Thank you so much! I tried switching to Firefox but it's the same issue. Thank you again!!! I'll keep checking back and hopefully it will be fixed. You guys are fantastic!!! Happy New Year!
