This posting is for Cafe World players that are looking for an answer to the slow experience they are having with Zynga's Cafe World.
I played the game for 11 months on an old computer. It had an Intel 4 Pentium processor; 165 gigabyte hard drive and 2 gigs of ram. It was the mother of slow gaming - took up to 15 minutes to connect to the game and even long to actually do anything with it.
I have read thousands of complaints (yes,I HAVE read thousands of complaints) that blame Zynga - the producer/mother/owner of Cafe World on Facebook - is to blame for this.
Yes, there are times when it is slow. But when you are talking slow all the time, I believe the answer lies within your computer.
I built a new computer. It has 8 gigs of RAM (4 usable for the OS I am using which is Windows XP that does not support 64 bit application and will only support up to 4 gigs of RAM). It has a 1 TB hard drive. Well, it has all kinds of stuff. I built it to work for now and also to work for future applications as they come out.
I didn't know for sure that more ram and a faster and MUCH better processor (know that my old computer is at least 10 years old) would help play this game faster, I was just guessing. I was SHOCKED by the game play on Cafe World after getting this new computer up and running. AMAZING. There is no comparison. It is SO much faster that I won't even consider playing it on that old computer.
I have had several discussions with people talking about how slow it is, and almost every time it comes to the reality that yes, it's an old computer, old technology and simply can't compete. The problem? Mostly this economy. Many people can't afford their house payment much less buying or building their own, new computer. Yet, it is probably the answer you need to find. It may not be the DESIRABLE answer - money to get into something better - but it is an answer that I think covers most of this.
If you have a killer machine and you are still experiencing slow run times on Cafe World, it may simply be the server that is being used to let you access the game. Cafe World is served out on many servers and people experience problems at the same time that other people are not experiencing the same problem.
Anyway, let's not just always blame Zynga for the problems that you might encounter with this game. If you have an inferior computer - that might and probably is the culprit right there. If you can upgrade the RAM, that in itself will increase the capacity and speed of the game.

Folks coming for Cafe World information, well, this is just an entry into my blog that has nothing to do with CW.
I'm not blaming Carnival cruise lines - yet - for whatever happened. Though now, a tidbit more of info came when the ship's captain said a diesel generator's casing "split" open which caused the fire. I'm guessing the fire must have taken out the computers and electronics that make the engines run, cause to burn up those engines in a fire? I figure the whole ship would have had to burn down.
I can't wait to see the interviews, lol. You just KNOW there are going to be over-exaggerated people who thought it was the end of life.........I bet a whole world's worth of media is waiting for their arrival out there.
Meanwhile, Obama is spewing forth useless rhetoric towards North Korea in an apparent "warning" to them. That's nice. North Korea and the rest of the world also know it's a spineless statement that has no teeth to it. Nothing will be done while this president is in office. The latest report is that NK is "exporting banned nuclear and missile technology to Iran, Syria and Myanmar."
Great, let's get the whole world full of nuclear weapons and see who fires first. The destruction of mankind as we know it should serve as at least SOME kind of motivator to DO something about this nation that doesn't care what anyone else says or thinks, the only thing they are going to care about is action. NK has BEEN warned over and over, sanctions up the ying-yang and what has it done? Made a nation of starving people as it's government could care less.
Well, anyway, there's plenty to do in today's, tomorrow's and even Monday's truck routing system. In fact, Monday, I am driving to a construction site near the U.S./Mexico border. In fact, it's some kind of installation being built for the Federal Government. What? Dunno yet, but it should make for some interesting photo ops if nothing else. Why do I finally get to make that kind of trip?
Because, the semi downtown has been "commandeered". There is a million dollar project that has to have pipe delivered on a daily basis. The pipe has to stay on the truck's trailers. It can't go on the ground until it's in the ground. Meaning that semi has to be used twice a day to move trailers full of pipe around and it can't be sent on trips anywhere where it won't be back in time to be able to move those trailers.
I'm guessing our company doesn't want to rent an extra semi - times are still very tough for our company, we are making money but they are counting pennies. Well, dollar bills, probably more likely, still, renting a semi is not cheap and will eat into profit margins on that job. Which, thankfully, opens up opportunities for me to take loads out that they normally would be taking out.
I don't know if they won't ever rent a semi, but apparently for right now, it is not in the workings, otherwise, I wouldn't be getting that run.
My Thanksgiving week off looms closer and closer.........
G'day.
