I have not been able to get flashplayer working in Vista or Firefox and here is what fixed it for me.

In IE 8 I went to Tools and clicked Manage Addons and found adobe "disabled" for some dumb reason so I enabled it and as simple as that it now works....

In Firefox I redownloaded the program (note: pay attention to the download process because in Firefox you probably will have to "enable" the download by clicking on an enable button on the screen during the process to make sure you get the download.) 

Hope this helps a few people  :)

Hye,

To simplify just use another browser,

I will advise you to use google chrome!

Download it here:

https://www.google.com/chrome/

Install the browser

Yeah, there's something wrong with Zynga and there is something seriously wrong with the current version of flash player. Here are some of the links I have been to and NONE of the fixes work. I even rolled back to Flash 9 with no luck.

Yoville won't work. Rollercoaster won't allow for invites, adding neighbors, etc. so I can't advance past the tutorial because I can't add friends to work the rides. But it's not just those games... Restaurant city won't load. FarmTown won't load the neighbors page or the gifting link for FarmTown friends. 

I don't know how much is Zynga, how much is Facebook, how much are updates, etc... but I suspect it's all in the Flash Player. Mostly because it does funky things and has other glitches. (Screen flashes randomly. With Rollercoaster the sad face to upgrade flashes up while the app loads at the same time. Profile pics won't load in FarmTown for neighbors. People randomly disappear. It crashed my Firefox because I was click on fields that it wouldn't plow... crashed it twice today! Firefox wasn't one to crash until I updated the Flash Player...)

Here's a whole thread where people describe the same problems. Just know you're not alone! ;^)

Brohdaw · Answer

I am having the same problem and it does not matter if you are using IE or Google Chrome, I have the problem with both of these Browsers; I'm not going to add Firefox and do this step with one, another step with another, etc...I have to agree, eah time I update  Adobe, some really irritating issues come up.  One time, videos would not play, another time only videos on Youtube would not play but they would play on places like MySpace etc...I kept trying to avoid updating Flash because I knew there would be an issue however, I could not keep "holding it off" because some things would not display until I clicked on the update.  This is all weird but mostly annoying.  So far, the crash only happens when I try to maximize the screen.

Weasel · Answer

Had the same problem, only got it working again after deleting all cookies.

Numbnutz · Answer

Very odd situation.

Doesn't work on my IE via Facebook, but does on chrome. But ..... if you go direct to http://www.farmville.com/index.php it does work ok there? WTF, must be something to do with Facebook perhaps?

I'll still try to find out why, so GF stops moaning .....

Goodspike · Answer

I just had this issue on my wife's computer.  To get it to work for her we had to go to Adobe.com to download the update.  It wouldn't install through the link.

Rahid · Answer

enable java script or download flash player then also it doesnt wrk then disable firewall

ColdestHeart · Answer

well reading through this I tried something with the windows firewall.

after disabling it I went to adobe and downloaded the flash player (again) and this time a new dialogue box opened and it loaded and installed.  I also had to allow an exception for www.adobe.com.

well yeah, now I can play fishville again :)

bparn · Answer

I also went directly to the adobe site, downloaded latest version of flash player and it seems to have resolved the issue with farmville, and farmtown!!!

margot · Answer

i cant get in my farm  and the other people cant get on my farm either
please help

Tom_bbury · Answer

I didn't read every post on this page, but from what I have read I can see that only one person has come close to telling what the problem really is...

This comes from Zynga (you can find it just below the Farmville menu line, i.e. "Play, Gift, Neighbors, Invite, etc." :

"Howdy farmers! We are resolving reported LOADING issues and have TURNED OFF WITHER, so your crops and farms are safe. Fix coming soon!"

Apparently it's not woking. :(P

helena · Answer

I had the same problem with firmville and I thought that it would be a good idea to disable the flash file that keep on popping up same problem. However now I have a greater problem, most pages on internet do not open. Does anybody know where I can go to find the file and make it enable (and the name of the file)? Thank you

Lizziee · Answer

I found this:

I've got a new 'pooter which has 64 bit and I don't want to mess around with it as I'm not very technical. Farmville will just have to wait until there's a fix, by which time all my flowers will be dead :( Not a happy bunny Zynga - maybe you should have made sure it worked before changing to the new system.

setotitan · Answer

I was having the same issue but fixed it. Here's how..

1) Download Flash Player directly: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe

2) Save it, don't run it

3) Close all your browsers and install the saved file


NOTE: The above link is for a Windows file, if you're using another OS visit www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer to download the installation file directly.

levisnana · Answer

JennM · Answer

I am also having the same problem. When I go onto farmville I cant get passed the loading page. The bar gets to half full then my web browser says 'done'. I have tried this on facebook, farmville.com then on google chrome, firefox etc etc. I have changed internet settings, updated flash, java etc. Tried turning off firewall. Maybe its a sign that I spend too much time on farmville? But if anyone has any ideas please let me know. I dont think it is farmville/facebook as I can get on it on other computers. This has only happened since facebook decided to change its layout again!!!!

Jen-Jen · Answer

Neither IE8 or Firefox work for me.  Adobe is enabled and nothing works.  I am able to start loading my farm, but it never loads all the way, it's a very slow response to open a gift--2 minutes or more, and then the entire browser shuts down--same thing for either firefox or IE8 and it's annoying as hell.  Anyone having this?  Solutions?  My Adobe is the most current, everything is up to date.  HELP!

djkut · Answer

Hey try this go to Tools and then scroll to Manage Add-ons then hit the tab that says Enable or Disable Add-ons when u hit the tab a box will pop on Manage Add on when the list populates look for your flas player and if your flash player is disabled change it to enabled and that should fix your problem it did it for me .

Rhi · Answer

I don't know if it's much help, but I was having the same problem, I tried downloading all the stuff they suggested, nothing worked. What I did was , I turned my computer off, for a few hours, when I got back on, I cleared my cookies,temp files, history, everything. Then I went to popups, and put allow www.farmvlle.com, I also went to manage addons, and enabled adobe flash player.It worked, it might be coincidence, but I couldn't get on for days. I hoope this helps.

tracyleigh · Answer

I have tried everything & the only thing that has worked for me is to use "Google Chrome" as my browser. It works perfectly for Farmville, & my Mafia Wars also fully works now, before I couldn't add anyone or send presents. It just wouldn't load. I guess it must be a Firefox thing.

I reckon its best to leave it for today.
I have 3 farms and can work 2 of them.   Seems a problem with farmville.
This morning none of them opened due to their server problem.   I'm not faffing about downloading Flash again.

How can I play the Farmville game?  It won't load.

Denise · Answer

I can't get on my farmvill what I can do fix it please tell what do

Joce · Answer

HI!  I did a research as well all over the place.  Did the update on Flash and Java still nothing.  It always loaded up to 99% then stopped dead.  Could play other games, but not Farmville.  Until someone wrote >> remove one of your neighbours and ask them to request to become your neighbour again then farmville will work again. >>>  Well guess what, it worked!  So far that is!  We'll see how long it'll last!  Good luck!
