Please take into consideration that many users have used Puffin to play. I sure hope once the conversion to html5 is completed, Puffin will be accessible or some other sort of browser will be available for mobile users :heart:

Once you download the Desktop App, you need to play YoWorld using that program. Gameroom does not work with YoWorld Streaming


Yes, but it's always prompting me to download Yoworld before i can get into the game! How many downloads should it take, more than the 6 downloads i have in my folder?

Once you have downloaded the app, you should see an Icon for it on your computer task bar. You only need to download once~!

If you want to use the temporary streaming service instead, click on the link at the very bottom of the popup. This you will need to do each time you load the game.

BVG, please fix our ability to go use apartment links. I gift a lot and it is impossible to do so now. If I clink on an apt. link, it takes me to my apt. And it is difficult to set up a time with others to gift them. Please, please fix that. I have no trouble buying, decorating, even logging in or staying in the game. I just really need to get back to my gifting, it's not just a holiday thing for me. I know I am not alone in this too. Ty. BTW, great job on transition. It's been smooth on my end, :thumbsup:

You only need to download the desktop app ONCE, then open the game, play it, and when the YoWorld icon appears, either copy it to your home screen for easy access, or make the icon stay at the bottom of your screen. You can do that by right-clicking the icon and select an option to make it stay there even after you reboot your computer. I use a Mac desktop, but it should be similar with Windows, something like this: look for the red Y (YoWorld icon) like the one in my picture. Every time you want to play, just click that red Y icon at the bottom. No more download is needed.

If you see a pop-up asking you to download the desktop app again, it is because you opened a web browser to play YW. Do not open YW using a web browser if you do not mean to use the streaming YoWorld. Click on the red Y icon instead. You won't be asked to download anything.

I hope it helps. Good luck.

Why doesn't the desktop app work for you? What Operating System do you use? If you use either a laptop or a desktop with either Windows OS or Mac OS, it should work. For the time being, it is the best way to play YW.


I use windows and it had worked up until a couple of weeks ago and it then it wouldn't load so after that i was using the FB GR and it worked ok on there until the other day when they rolled out the bridging system and now i can only access it by using Chrome which doesn't give you the rewards for using the App ....iv'e uninstalled and reinstalled the app i think 3 times now and it still doesn't work


If the app does not load, usually it is because the server is too busy, and sometimes it gets stuck at 74% too. Click Refresh to reload the App, there is no need to uninstall and reinstall again as long as your version is the latest version v 1.1.5
It usually loads 100% after several refreshes. No need to wait longer than 5 minutes to refresh, because it loads, or not. I refresh after 1 minute or less. On average, it takes 2-3 refreshes to get in.


I must have refreshed it 100 times or more all i get it a white screen not even a part loaded screen .... but i do check it every night to see if it works just got online so haven't checked it yet ... will update you if there is any change

In that case, please try to check if you have allowed YW app to use your Facebook account. it can be found in your Facebook's setting for apps. Also try to check the privacy setting of your computer, firewall, your antivirus software, cookies permission etc, and their relation with yoworld dot com. One of them might be blocking access to the game. Good luck.

If you're having trouble viewing ads, could you please take a screenshot showing exactly what you see when you try so that we can investigate further?

Thank you.


Hi Andrew,
Like Rod's screenshots show, all streaming browsers which can play YW have grayed-out ads icons. When we click it, it said that there was no more ads, while we have not watched any ads at all. This is the same be it Firefox or Chrome, Vivaldi or Brave browsers. This has been happening for several days. Only the icon on the desktop app is not grayed-out.

Thank you for looking into the problem.

I had used the Desktop App from its roll out right from the start always on the same PC and it was only just a couple of weeks when they announced the streaming that it disappeared.

I tried streaming YW using Kindle Fire (a mobile tablet from Amazon) and it works!! :shocked: Well, except that here is no ads, and no keyboard showing up :haha: :dizzy:
I don't recommend buying Kindle Fire just to play the game. Streaming is only temporary. It is better to wait for the HTML5 version of the game. Who knows we can play it on our mobile devices some day? Beside, it is rather hectic as you will have to install Google Play first on the Kindle Fire in order to download (and install) Chrome or other browsers like Firefox. Kindle Fire's default browser called Silk browser does not play YW, like Opera.

Hi

Just wanted to inform about the streaming with Google chrome. If you are using incognito mode, Yoworld won't load. Go to regular mode then delete from history later if need be. Took me awhile to figure out why Yoworld wasn't loading, this was why. Hope this helped someone. :D

Today I got this notification on top of YoWorld game, both on my desktop app and also on Chrome, Firefox, and Vivaldi bowsers, but I can still play YW on all of them. Do not uninstall Adobe Flash yet.

The game should load as usual, and just ignore the notification, said Viking Sam here:
