Good Morning,

Hi bbarksda,

Have you recently cleared your browser caches? That can make the game slower until your computer has had time to load all the graphics for the game again.

You could try clearing your FT memcache. To run memcache Click Here. A window will open with a list of "unsetting", which is the memcache being cleared. Close that window and FT if you have it open in another browser window. Then see if that improves the issue for you.

Try running the server tests and see if any of those show a problem, here's the link to that post if you would like to check those:

I did see over hundreds of rabbits on your default farm and loose animals can also cause problems with slowness. As you are already using compressed graphics then it may be better if you took the loose animals off and see if that improves the speed of loading of that farm. If it does you can have look at other farms and see if there any others with quite a few animals on them that are also slow to load or work.

Other things that can cause slowness is the browser being open with the game loaded for a long time, you can check the usual things like making sure that the browser is still up to date, closing it for a few minutes so it has time to clear any memory it no longer needs to use, particularly if you have been working heavy farms.

If the problem is due to a slowdown in a connection somewhere in one of the links you need to go through to get to the game, there isn't much you can do about that except wait it out for whoever owns the connection to see the problem and fix it. If it is that, you could try making sure that pretty much all you have open and running on your computer is the game in one tab and try only showing the item you need to work on and se if that makes things easier for you.

For me the game is like Dial-Up Slow. It's never been this slow. You click and then wait. I'm not experiencing crashing or having to log back in like others. Is there something else on my end I'm possibly doing to create this. Thanks for all your help and advice.

Hi TaterTot,
There are mamy things that can slow down your play. Many things to check are listed in the first post of this thread.

I did load your farms and you do have a lot of the waters on or around the outside edge of all your farms which can be a contributing factor. This can specially be true if you have limited memory.
Your internet can cause a slow down as well as your data transfer has to go through many links between you and the Facebook app server and more links between theose and the Farm Town servers. Any one of those links can cause a slowdown if they have heavy traffic. Unfortunately we have no way to check or correct any of those. The only thing you can do for that would be to wait until the problem is fixed by the owners of those servers.

Thanks Taz. Things kind of worked out. I know I have 2 many rabbits on my default farm. I am in the process of deleting them. Thanks again.
