Monthly Exclusives are scheduled for Monday

isn't this going to be difficult with everyone keep being booted off the game every 5 mins? or will that issue be fixed by monday?

That is fixed now.

TY!

... about the blurriness. is it going to be like that until mid-jan or is that being worked on too?

i dunno. i feel that if theres anything BVG are good with is their communications with the players. sure, we never got 100% answers to all of our questions but they do share everything they can share. sometimes its not easy to give out information esp if its not official yet. any company does that.

Now whats the diff betwin streaming and html5, any idea how long to you roll out with it, Will there be buying and selling maybe gifting of homes, i asking this to get hope i will have something to look forward to. At this point i losing more hope in facebook and yoworld as this gose on, i have looked forward to the major redo of this game because only then could u make it where we can buy sale trade and gift homes, that was stated as something that may come even few years ago. I would like to no things to give me hope because losing arting like i came used to has cost me to lose hope, losing my gameroom that lost hope because in it unlike desktop app and crome i can use my touch screen to get things out my inventory, with a messed u mouse that has became a big help.

Not sure if this has been asked, but does this mean Game Room won't work either?

So I've tried to download Firefox and Chrome and still get the screen saying "you are currently playing a flash free version". Is this because I have a an older iPad?

Aw geez....I am glad I didn't buy that chromebook for my niece to play on her on device. So chromebook won't allow the desktop app huh? Well we might be done with the game til next year when it's ready. Maybe if it gets right I'll fork up five hundred dollars to buy her a laptop. She only wants one to play this game with. Glad I waited.

If you refresh, it shouldn't' happen anymore. Please let me know if it continues though.

I just checked again using Firefox. Yes, it is FIXED now! It is just like playing with the desktop app, and even faster than the desktop app. Thank you, BVG Team and Andrew.

I have an amazon fire tablet 7 and use Puffin Pro so i guess i cant play Yoworld until i can afford a laptop, this is a bad time for BVG to do this , while people are struggling to pay bills , cause of covid , my husband had it , hes recovered but we are behind on rent and bills , i cant ask him for $200 plus for a laptop now . Yoworld was a pleasant escape from all the bad stuff going on in the world but now its gone , i hope i get a laptop soon and what kills me is tomorrow is new years eve and ill miss what items come out :wailing:

i know its just a game but i enjoyed it .. Happy New Year To All My Yo Buds!

Viking Andrew wrote:Hey YoFans,

I'm sure many of you remember that we did some testing for YoWorld Streaming last week. After successfully testing it with everyone, we are now ready to roll it out fully!

YoWorld Streaming will be going live TODAY at 20:00 UTC(Game Time), 3:00 PM ET, 12:00 PM PT.

Want more info? Check out below:

What is YoWorld Streaming?

This feature allows you to stream YoWorld live from our servers. This is similar to something like Netflix where you don't actually download the movie you're watching, but instead, are streaming it from Netflix's servers.

How we play on are tablets. Cell phones or iPads. Now
What will this change?

You will notice a different screen when YoWorld is loading. Some players may experience the loading period taking anywhere from 30-60 seconds longer than normal. You may also experience some performance and quality issues. There also might be a bit of lag between your input and what is reflected in-game.

If you click "Download YoWorld" on the screen below, you will get the YoWorld Desktop App. If you click "continue streaming on flash player free version of YoWorld" you will be taken to YoWorld Streaming
Who will be using YoWorld Streaming?

All YoFans playing through Firefox and Chrome will automatically be using YoWorld Streaming.

What if I don’t use those browsers?

You can download the YoWorld Desktop App and play normally through that. Or you can download the browsers from the links below. Otherwise, the game will be inaccessible until HTML5 is released.

When will HTML5 be launching?

Currently, we are working with a date of mid-January. But that is tentative and may change.

I’m already on the Desktop App, so what does that mean for me?

You can continue to play and enjoy YoWorld the same as you have been without any interruption at all!

Helpful Links:

Download Chrome: https://www.google.com/intl/en_ca/chrome/

Download Firefox: https://www.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/new/

YoWorld Desktop App PC: https://downloads.bigvikinggames.com/YoWorld.exe

YoWorld Desktop App Mac: https://downloads.bigvikinggames.com/YoWorld.dmg

Having trouble? Here’s some helpful tips!

Very Slow Loading?

Try refreshing the webpage. If that doesn’t help, download the Desktop App from the links above.

Poor image quality?

This is expected for some players. There is no way to fix this other than getting the Desktop App.

Other issues?

Please report them in this thread for us to investigate!

EDIT:

Update: There is an issue with the game going to a whitescreen periodically for some players. This is being investigated.
