"I can't stop watching my crops!" – FarmVille Freak

FarmVille sent out a blast to all farmers in that dreaded yellow box above our in-game FarmVille play area letting us know that many users are experiencing problems posting shares to their Facebook News Feed.

Of course it’s hard to complete quests and other FarmVille tasks without being able to post shares so this is quite annoying and problematic. But there is a glimmer of hope, a workaround that may work for you is that you can add text to your share which should allow you to post it to your feed. You know, add words to the “say something about this” area which for now should fix the problem for most players.

Zynga is aware of the problem and working on a solution.

Says the yellow box:

“Howdy Farmers! We are currently experiencing an issue with not being able to post feeds and are investigating a fix. Thank you for your patience on this issue. You can currently work around this issue by adding text to your feed and the share button will work again.”

Have you experienced any of these FarmVille bugs?

FarmVille Electric Roses Bushel

Currently, there is an error occurring whenever you try to share Bushels with your neighbors (you’re sucha good neighbor!) from your Farmer’s Market by posting a Facebook News Feed. Specifically, this bug is happening after you make a bushel purchase from a neighbor and when you chose to share back.

FarmVille Send an Order Bushel FaceBook Notice

What’s happening when the News Feed share is published is that the incorrect text is displayed. Instead of “Get Bushel” the share states, “Send an Order”. Then, whenever one of your neighbor clicks on the share, they will most likely get an error.

FarmVille Error After Clicking Bushel

From FarmVille Community Manager, Lexilicious:

“Feed for sharing bushels is showing incorrect text and results in an error when clicked on

Last Update: 6/6

FarmVille Giant Gorse Tree

FarmVille Giant Gorse Tree Mastery Sign

With Sunday night’s FarmVille updates, four new trees entered the FarmVille Market. Many farmers were surprised to see that the Giant Gorse Tree (a Level 1 Tree) was listed for 10 Farm Cash, when it should have been 5 Farm Cash.

This was an unintentional error and the price of the tree was incorrectly listed. Since then, the price of the tree has dropped and is now 5 Farm Cash. However, if you purchased the tree for 10 Farm Cash when it was incorrectly listed, you can get a refund by contacting Zynga Customer Support.

FarmVille Sad Cow

There have been some pestering problems on the farm lately. While some farmers are currently experiencing difficulty harvesting their crops by being unable to harvest, there are some other lingering problems that Zynga is working on or has already addressed so that farmers can get back to work on their farms. Zynga Customer Support has reported these issues below as either addressed or still investigating.

FarmVille Bugs 6.1.2011

The following issues have been addressed:

• Cornflower and Aster Co-op Jobs for Quest Credit : We removed these tasks from the quests so you should be able to progress to the next quest.
• Harvesting Chicken Coop Quest Credit: Issue was fixed on 5/2/11.
• Sheep Breeding :  We have received reports from players indicating that an unusually high amount of White Sheep are being produced when breeding. As white is a color, it is possible to produce white sheep when the feature is operating normally. Additionally, please note that pattern inheritance comes from the father and the offspring have a chance of inheriting the patterns. We are investigating player reports to determine if more white sheep are being produced than anticipated. Please know that this process is not an easy one and will take time for us to address.
• Pig Pattern/Color Inheritance : Similar to Sheep Breeding, players have reported receiving a high number of Plain, Pink Pigs. The feature is currently working as intended and Plain Pigs are a possible result from Pig Breeding. Pig Pattern inheritance is also a chance inheritance from the father. NOTE: If you are breeding color changing Pigs, the offspring will be plain pigs as we have not released this pattern in the Market yet.
• Loading: Some players were unable to load their farm on 5/25/11. We have fixed the root cause of that loading issue. If you are still having issues, please clear your cache as well.
• Love Potions : We understand that some players feel that they have wasted potions on breeding as the result is not what they expected. We have shared this feedback with the FarmVille studio. If you are accepting love potions, please make sure you have room in your Gift Box. The Gift Box limit is 500.
• Royal Wedding Tent issues: We apologize for any troubles experienced with this feature. The Friend invite list not populating has been fixed.
• Friends list not populating when sending free gifts: Issue appeared to mainly affect Internet Explorer 9 users and has been resolved.
• Sheep Pen locked on Home Farms: Issue has been fixed.
• Playing both Home and English Farms: Players can grow crops on both farms simultaneously. Option is provided when you travel from one farm to another

These issues are still under investigation:

• Pig Breeding: Unable to breed Pigs or Limited Edition Pigs, like Pumpkin Pig, on English farms.
• Gift Box: Lambs are locked in the Gift Box.
• Bushels: Bushels received from harvesting are not appearing in Bushel Inventory.
• Out of Sync Issues:  These issues are ongoing and may have different root causes, which we are investigating.

Have you experienced any of these problems on your farm?
