This game is hard on mice because of the amount of clicking which ends up wearing out the left mouse button. I just had to replace mine for the same reason.
If this mouse is wireless please replace the battery and see if that helps. If it is not do you have a different mouse you can try to see if that works. If it does then you may need to replace your mouse.

I found out yesterday it only seems to be happening when I have the farm expanded not when in standard mode. It has nothing to do with my mouse.

Things that are known to cause the game to run slower.

Too many animals on a farm (not in buildings)
Layering (includes trees/flowers/buildings on top of crops)
Overlapping crops (staggering)
Having multiple tabs open or a lot of background programs running can slow the game down.
Your internet may also run slower at certain times of the day depending on usage etc..
Having more than one farm town account opened on the same computer.
Browser problems.
Flash Player problems.
Farm Town Server problems.
Game updates.

What you can do to speed up the game

Reduce the number of animals running loose on the farm.
Remove layering
Remove staggered crops
Try and keep to a minimum the number of tabs you have open and background programs running.

When working facilities for others, try hiding everything in preference options (trees/buildings flowers etc).
Try using low-resolution in your flash player setting. (to do this :- with the mouse pointer on your farm, right click the mouse , click on quality and select low)

This thread is for players to report problems only. Any off topic posts will be removed by a moderator without notice to the user.

This is not a mouse issue, this only happens when the farm is expanded and not at the regular window size.

Hi Crystal,
I am not sure what to tell you then. I can not duplicate what you are saying is happening.

was wondering why everything is so slow, to do anything on the farm? ...to open facilities and use also? ....just evrything is super slow. will it be faster later on?

I checked my bandwidth speed and it was over 10 m/sec. I cleared my browser history and did memcache cleaner. However the farm town game took a very long time to open. Crops and ponds are all that are open using the wrench.

Hi Rockcandymountain,
I moved your post to the subject thread about running slow.
When you clear your browser cache, you are deleting all the graphics for the game. So whenyou start your farms then it hasto download all those graphics again. That is why it is slow loading.

I hadnt cleared the browser cache prior to the slow loading issue. Again this morning it is loading very slowly. In excess of 30 seconds to load completely. I was just curious if this was a wide spread issue or something due to non optimal bandwidth on my end.

Hi rockcandymountain,

Taz is not available at the moment.

If this is a problem you've had from the start and using compressed graphics has not helped enough for that then you may be stuck with the types of farms that are heavy with a lot of items on them, perhaps layered and overlapped waters, being slower to load than a lighter farm that doesn't have so many items on it.

If this is a new problem and these are your farms and you haven't added any more to them, then you could just be having a temporary slowdown somewhere in one of the many links needed to get to the game which will resolve when whoever owns the link with the slowdown, sees it, finds the problem and fixes it.

If you've had your browser open for hours with the game loaded. I would first try just closing the browser for a few minutes and see if that helps so it can gain back the memory it was using but no longer needs, and see if that makes any difference, but if it is due to a slow connection somewhere that's not going to help.

I've just loaded over 20 of your farms with all workable items showing and they all loaded in a couple of seconds including the one you have wall to wall overlapped waters on, so I'm not seeing any problems with the server your farms are on as being a possible cause.
