Kill The New Version Failure and Nightmares.

This new version is not as good as the old version period, plus it is too slow. Scrap this new version nightmares and return the old version. VIP doesn't even tell you to sign up for your Tournament races anymore when the Tournaments starts.

new stable page

A new stable page is being added to help players with larger stables manage their horses. I hope its up in the next 1-2 hours . I feel this will resolve a lot of concerns for the bigger stables.

Site speed is our current project. We know the issue and we are working on .

Starfish

Yeah I know the new version has It's bugs, and that was to be expected. They will iron out the bugs and this will be the best horse game on the net. It took me awhile to get used to this new version too. I was so used to the old version. Now after 2 weeks I love this new version. The interface is simple no more scrolling down the page and looking for what you need. The new player once you get a feel for it is so much better than the old one , the old one doesn't even come close. They do however need to show the horses energy at the end of the race in the new version.

Try to stop living in the past Starfish and live in the now. This is the new and improved HRF that will be here for a long time to come with even better improvements to the site in the future.

I'm ok

I'm ok with most of the features of the new version. But, I still prefer to watch my races on the old platform.

I've been able to eventually find everything on the new site and hopefully once the new stable page is implemented it will address many of the complaints.

Until I get to see everything that I see when I watch the races on the old platform added to the unity viewer I will always use the old one.

I Believe that....

I believe that Starfish is living the now. That is what the complaint is. I know for a fact that this newer version is here to stay and I can live with it. What I do not like is the problems that I run into. Last night the site would not load on my computer, never had this problem before unless it was with the site. Theres more but I am not going to rip into HRF because I know that each problem will be addressed one at a time and they are working on them, it just gets frustrating at times.

Interesting Facts

Look Pot, We are all living in the now not the past or future. I think the paying customers should have a choice of versions. Those who like the new version can have it and the players that feel more comfortable operating the old version will also be overjoyed.

If there was a poll taken today New Version or Old Version we all know the Old Version would win.

That being said Starfish does respect every bodies opinions even King little fish.

Starflake

Your 2 year anniversary at HRF was 6 days ago. You are at an amazing 11.6 win percentage. Hopefully this new version can help your training skills, once you stop throwing a temper tantrum about it. I said hopefully, what I should of said was doubtfully.

This is a great new version of the game, some of us must be slow learners. Just ask your horse Buddy Challenge about being slow. LOL

kingsport could agree more about showing the effort and energy being used by your horse in races

@Starfish: From what i´ve

@Starfish: From what i´ve seen you started this and other threads in similar vein today before we launched the updates to the stable pages today and from a feedback post from you on those i´ve seen it looks like you generally liked those, no?

If so i´m glad =)

For anyone who hasn´t seen the updates on the stable pages have a look here:
http://www.horseracegame.com/community/forum/topic/730777/current-stable...

@Kingsport: I'm glad you like the old and new features now that you're used to them and yes, your suggestion for showing the horses energy at the end of the race is a good one and i will integrate that =)

@Wcwashington: We will continue working on also making all main features of the windows desktop client available on the web, too, but yeah, curious to hear what you think about the stable page updates made today =)

@Pot1forluckx: There are a few possible reasons for site (part)s being down, the team is working on addressing those which can be addressed by further optimisation, in some cases there are also downtimes in between while there is some maintenance/update work done in the background though like today for a short timespan when the stable pages were updated.
So sadly while we push many improvements over the coming days and we try to keep everything running and noticable downtimes to a minimum, some downtime in between is not fully avoidable since a lot is being changed and added in the background/backend.
Usually, unless we announce otherwise those downtimes shouldn´t be long though so that if you get one in between usually a page reload a few minutes later should have everything back working again, often with some things improved =)
