farmville slow, slow and slower,
Feb 8, 2010 8:28AM PST

I need a bit more information in order to help you

-over what period of time are you playing that it gets slower (ie: 5 min, .5 hours, 1 hour, etc.)

-what's going on in the background ( open the task manager Cntrl-Alt-Del-click on 'Processes'), basically what's eating up all your CPU %

-have you tried using a different browser (ie: Firefox, chrome, Safari)?

RAM Issue
Sep 17, 2010 1:41PM PDT

This is often a RAM issue. Do you know how much RAM your computer has. I found 2GB or over is fine to run Farmville with other applications in the background.

What else are you running that is eating up all your RAM? Do you have multiple internet windows/tabs open? MSN messenger? iTunes?

These are the big ones.

Try this; In internet explorer, go to tools, internet options, then delete all history (cookies, temp files, etc)

Then go to Start>Run>type "taskmgr" and click on the processes tab. Sort by RAM usage to find out what is taking up the most memory. If it is internet explorer this is normal.

Try it now. Also you must ensure your Farmville game is setup properly, to learn how to do this, go to Beginners Guide To Farmville
