Experiencing problems with loading your Cafe World? Or do you have a problem that your Cafe World goes really slow? Read on, I`ll tell you what to do.
Cafe World runs on Facebook as an additional application and it uses Adobe Flash player and Javascript functions. You don`t need to worry about what are those terms. The important thing for you is that if you are experiencing that your Cafe World game is slow or you having problem with loading and entering the game, there are several steps you need to check.
Cafe World Problems: Possible Solutions
Do you have the latest Flash player? Recently the latest version is 10.0.32.18. If not, go to Adobe website
If you have many tabs opened, close them and restart your browser (close and open again after a while).
Are there any other things running in the background of your computer? Like a movie or something that is demanding on a performance.
Try a different browser – if you are using Internet explorer, try Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox (Safari or Opera etc.).
Clean up your temporary memory – cache.

If it is still slow, the problem might be in your processor. Try to reduce the quality of the graphics in Cafe World. This can be done in the menu in the right down corner – the small icon of an eye (if you can`t find it, refer to my The Beginner`s Walkthrough Guide, number 15).
What definitely helps me is opening Google Chrome, without any additional tabs, and play Cafe World in it. So far the best solution I`ve come up with.

if the problem is the same on another computer, but if another user can log in into their CW, then there seems to be a problem with your CW account. In that case contact Zynga support, they are able to have a look what is wrong with your account and if needed reset it.
Good luck

I was hoping that you could extend our time for the 12 goals since there are a lot of us that are not going to get finished. We have been given alot to do and with the problems in the game.. Thank you.

I definitely understand your frustration. If the behavior of the game is the same with different browsers and computers, then there is a problem with your CW account. Contact Zynga, they should be able to take care of it.

HOW DID YOU HELP #10. fOR THE LAST 8 WEEKS i CAN NOT ASK FOR ANY ITEMS FROM MY FRIENDS, ALL i GET IS A PLAIN WHITE SCREEN. i CAN POST REQUEST BUT NOT ASK FOR THEM
What I see from what are people repeatedly looking for, there is a big Cafe World problem with saving. I`ve done some research and I think this could be a solution for your Cafe World saving problem.
First, I was looking for any information from Zynga, which should be the best source. I don`t know how you, but I`m not satisfied with information Zynga is releasing. Well, not releasing. I`d expect more information to be on their website.
Cafe World Problem – Browser
Anyway, I`ve found on their website recommendation about using internet browser:
Zynga games are designed to be used with most browsers, however there are several documented issues surrounding Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) and Flash Content.
If you are using IE8 we suggest that you try a new browser such as Firefox 3+, Safari 4, or Google Chrome. Internet Explorer v.6 or 7 should also be acceptable.
Then I looked at statistics from my pages to see what browsers are used by the visitors. I was surprised!
Cafe World Elite Visitors - Browser Usage
36% of visitors are still using Internet explorer. Generally I don`t recommend using Internet explorer for browsing, because it`s not safe. If you are using Internet explorer even for playing Cafe World, I`d recommend you to try a different browser. From my testing Google Chrome is the best choice – it`s safe and it`s fast. Get Google Chrome.
Cafe World Problem – Flash
For a smooth running of Cafe World, Zynga recommends the latest flash. It`s natural, because Cafe World is made in flash. I just checked the latest version of flash and it is 10.0.32.18. Now let`s have a look at another graph:
Cafe World Elite Visitors - Flash
It`s much better than using of internet browsers, but still 15% doesn`t have the latest version. If you are not sure what version you have, I`d recommend you to go to the Adobe website and download the latest version of flash.
Cafe World Problem – Saving
Many people are complaining about a problem with saving in Cafe World. Interesting is that it is connected with Cafe World expansion for 400k. Apparently, there is some problem between the game and servers, which don`t seem to recognize your cafe after the expansion.
The problem people are having is that they are not able to save their game. I`ve done some research and found out that there is a solution which seems to work. Because I didn`t buy the expansion, I don`t have the experience, but it should work.
To solve the problem with saving your cafe on Zynga`s servers, you need to get back your cafe to the default:
change the flooring to the default (the wooden floor). Some people say it`s enough to make the floor wooden just at the place where the expansion has taken the place.
change the wall color to the default (the blue walls). Again, some people say it`s not necessary to do the whole cafe, just the place of the expansion extension.
visit someone`s cafe and get back
when you get back, your cafe should be saved after your changes
Let me know in the comments whether this solution of Cafe World problem with savings has solved your problem, or if you`ve figured out something better.
The last day Zynga has made some change, so maybe it`s possible that the problem with saving is not actual anymore.

I keep getting this message when i click links posted to my fb status feed: “Error while loading page from Café World
Empty response received.”
I dont think its my browser because i have tried in IE 9 and then again got it with Firefox.
