Feedback Important Technical Test for 24 hours

The fields that got opened by buying small slots at a time are now flashing the borders of those slots. Completely unnecessary after all these years.

 

Extremely long loading time. Without harvester I don't believe you could play at all as it is I'm waiting minutes to do each harvesting step. Spinning flowers having to reload and start to wait once again. Almost 10 years playing and may need to stop if this is the future of the game.

 

The best thing about this test is the fact it'll end. I might resume playing when this terrible mess is over.

Oh.. wait, you're asking for constructive arguments. Here's mine: whenever you present trash to your clients you may expect an empty cashregister by the end of the day.

 

First experience and Seems pretty good effort.

Outside of simple teething errors, my observations would be that the complete signs on the giver items are too small - easily hidden behind other items. And I've got full animation when in fact I always have it turned off. Suspect a setting issue.

 

I would like to thank each of you who have posted feedback regarding this Unity Technical Test. The Team is working hard to make the transition from Flash to Unity. We recognize there are some things to iron out, but this live test provides crucial information for the future of our favorite farming game

Please continue to play your farms as best you can during the remaining time of the test, and let us know your experience, both positive and negative.

We appreciate your understanding and patience as these technical issues are tested and worked out.

 

It is still far too slow to be enjoyable but at least i can play this time there is still a long way to go but i am confident all will be well in the end!Thank you for all your hard work¬

 

Slow rebuild on every field. I was not able to harvest the Haunted Manor until a moment ago. I kept trying (for the last hour and a half), and it finally cleared.

The trees all sparkle, all the time. The crops don't show as completed, when ready for harvest.

Everything is slow, slow, slow.

More coming later (as I discover more)!

Next! I am opening crates. Each time I open one, when I close the window (showing what I got), it throws me back to the beginning of the consumer goods. So I open a crate, close, click to crates, open a crate - versus - open a crate, close, open a crate, close (until all the crates have been opened).

 

pardon my english, i'm not that used to

• multiple clicking to get out of messenger
• answering an owl is possible but very hard to do - responding, you can help yourself clicking into the writing-space, everything will be marked, and you overwrite what is written
• no ripening degree or process is visible
• even with animation off everything is wobbling an moving and doing and showing off (maybe this is meant by animation off)

nice having me here
the english forum is the most polite one, if it is allowed to say

 

wow, just wow and not in a good way.
I hope this is just for 24 hrs.
Many things to say ( that sunhine at the beginning is annoying and hurts my eyes)
My biggest problem is speed. Its like running on dial up... yes im that old
I don't have the time to sit and wait for everything to load... My husband hates me playing the game, so the longer it takes to load the less inclined i am to play it. ( i can't be quick is discreet)

 

Reading everyone's comments, I guess I'm lucky - not having the problems they're experiencing. Yes, Unity loads a little slowly, but not nearly as slowly and glitchy as Flash has become.
My initial problems, during the first test, have been fixed - it's obvious the team has put in a lot of work.
There is one new glitch that I didn't experience before: plants and trees don't show growth, so the only way to know when they're ready to harvest is to either mouse over them or just hit the harvest button. This has been reported several times by other farmers, but it bears repeating.
Over all, Unity is working well for me.

 

Harvesting my cloud rows manually it keeps on giving me the message "that decorative item is not in your inventory". I am not trying to add an EP; I am trying to harvest a CR already filled with EPs.

You wanted a test session today so I started playing this morning--skipped lunch and worked through dinner. It is now going on 6:00 pm and I am just now finishing up my 3 farms. I did not do any marketing, greenhouse refinements, etc. on my farms--just harvesting, re-planting, harvesting CRs and EP fields and then a little bit of supply products to fill orders. Approx. 8 hours -- way too much time -- really tired of looking at orange flowers spinning in circles. Will log in later just to send my gifts and collect Daily Gift.

My last farm had the CR animation on it caused me to have to re-start several times to finish my Magic Stalk Row. I also had to delete my completed EP givers one at a time (Summer Shore). Quit before they were all removed -- will try again later or tomorrow.

Just glad only one of my farms is still working on the Farm Birds event with only one harvest to go because if they all were I don't think I would finish if I had to use Unity any more.

 

I also feel very lucky. For me, it loaded as quickly as usual the first time, and moving between fields is exactly the same. My only complaints involve responding to messages, while it does work this time, you have no editing ability and if you click, accidentally, anywhere in the text, your message has to be sent as is or when you type anything, it resets to blank. Things in the inventory or mill resetting to the beginning. I don't love the text, or the graphics, but I see these as things that can be fixed once it is actually running. I harvest with the harvester, so I don't have the harvesting problems described, and my crops do change in appearance. I have not checked tree appearances. I use Firefox and a two year old desktop unit. My biggest concern is if it won't work on my phone, becuase I do a fair amount of play using it while I am not at home. As said by some players above, I do appreciate the work that has been done and I am glad that effort is being made to see that we do not have to all give up our farms. I hope that the problems can be worked out for those that are really struggling with difficulties. It seems that memory function might be a very big concern.

 

Solution: Quitting the game ... Because it is impossible to play.

 

The game has become unplayable. Unity is slow and overly glitchy. We should be credited for all the things that couldn't be harvested.
Switching to unity for 24 hrs was a huge mistake.

 

I avoided using Unity until now and I do not like it. It loads way too slow. Also it does not show when trees or arboretums are done. I also don't like the fact when opening crates under the consumables tab every time you click to open it it goes back to the beginning of the consumables tab-before -with flash- it just went to the next crate. Also the pictures of plants look all shiny and is hard on the eyes. If what I've seen so far is any indication of how the game will run with Unity I may not be playing much longer and I've been player for over 10 years.

 

i am using google chrome and my laptop is just one year old but everything is taking far too long to load and i always have to click twice for any thing to work when replanting seeds which all seem to look a bit different nowbefore i can choose which one i want the page dissapears and has to be reloaded i do realise how much hard work you have done but for me if it s tays like this i will be a retired farmer

 

Adding a few more issues, albeit sort of along the same lines as mentioned above.

• When open the Tree of wisdom, the animation inside jumps and jerks as if there was not enough computing power. Yet I have a few years old gaming laptop.
• CPU overload mentioned by others happens here also.
• Overall the game behaves as if there was much more data to download then in Flash version - wonder if that is the case.
• When harvesting/filling stables manually, that four-click harvest-clean-feed-water is often interrupted, cant do it fast, even on slow click often have to move mouse pointer to get the next function on. (on flash just 4 quick click, job done).
• Planting fields - I just gave up.
• Just realized - in previous tests there was massive miss-alignment of graphics. It seems to be still happening although much less then before. Meaning the mouse pointer doesn't activate a function although optically at the correct position.
• Tried the Market. Buttons and text flashy, hurting eyes, miss-alignment happening here also, like page numbers at the bottom of "market overview" sometimes overlapping with arrow buttons.
• Cinema - did not work at all, but that is frequent issue even in Flash.
• Bean Stalk - game doesn't seem to remember where I was - happens after logged off.
• Miss-alignment when harvesting trees at the bottom of the screen the button pop-up window is not always where it normally would be.
• When harvesting, the inscription on the bottom frame "User: Nortonc ID: 53904245" gets "selected" and "deselected" as if for copping.
• When drops from harvest appear, they sometimes seem to block further harvesting - need to wait till they "fall down" and then continue harvesting or at least move mouse pointer somewhere else.
• It seems that after spending a bit more time in the game some functions speed up a bit, like most switches between fields. Though field planting still unusable for me.

I think I've tried nearly every function by now. Still long way to go with development. This is not functional game for me. And that flashy hard graphics hurts my eyes so would not be playing long, if at all, even with perfect functionality.

 

far too slow, plants when mature do not ever show up in fields, you have to mouse over everything to know if it is ready to harvest. Tried to purchase seeds in the game shop took forever to purchase 3 items. Horrible speed has to be fixed. codyj #44475068

 

In the form of a Jeopardy! question......... Answer: Unity The Question: What is a farce?
All of the above replies should give you the idea that Unity is a terrible idea.
Additionally, My farm wife sent me a message that I have tried to respond to at least 5 times. You cannot hit Reply to the message, Locks up. Tried twice to write a message and changed my thought and could not (blue strike through) Twice wrote a message and it Locked Up in the middle of the message.
What is the sense ???
I will be suspending my play after the Harvest Festival (read: I will not be buying packages or for Premium farmer for an unplayable game).

 

I can't give any gifts with Unity. None of my friends and neighbors show up, my gift history is blank and the search bar doesn't work.

All of my messages are gone, incoming and outgoing. I can't see a darn thing even when I give it extra time to load.

I can't get the bonus code to work. I've typed it in all upper case and again in all lower case but the game will not accept it. It just sits here.

The font around the seeds is kind of odd, and the halo around each seed make the numbers look out of focus.

Popup id's of givers take a while to go away. Sometimes they block my ability to do a task or go to another playfield.

I can harvest and plant easily, but I have a harvester subscription. I haven't tried to do anything manually.

The game does run slowly when moving between playfields or trying to open my stash of trees/stables/givers/consumables. Occasionally it just stops trying and stays on the main map screen.

I'm using the current version of Microsoft Edge on a laptop running the current version of Windows 10.
