The latest update for Avatar Farm Online, 1.5, has been approved and should be available for download soon. You will be prompted to update next time you start the game.
It features the following changes and additions:
- New Farm Items
- White Noise Online exclusive items (monster statue, arcade machine)

- New features
- Now you can like other people’s farms in the pause menu. The number of likes will be shown on the leaderboards and the farm list.

- Reduced number of files by 50% approx., the game should take a lot less time to load on some consoles.
- Improved a bit performance of tree and building shadows
- Now tractors can’t be refilled until they are at less than 33% capacity. This is done to avoid accidental refills and griefing.
- Added a new permission level: Plant. This permission level allows to plant crops and plow over gathered land, and spend money in a limited way (feed animals, refill tractors…), but not place trees/buildings/animals. Please recheck your permission settings as they may have changed.

- Fixed Critical Error crash when creating a farm
- Some changes to the P2P score sharing system, trying to get rid of the freeze issue (yet again…)

The long awaited update to Avatar Farm Online has been released, fixing most bugs reported on the last weeks.
This update has the following changes:

- Fixed incorrect button layout shown in the How to play to sell/recycle items.
- Fixed rare crash ( ArgumentOutOfRangeException – WorkToolTile )
- Prevented rare crash ( NullReferenceException – PlayerStartWork ) (couldn’t find the root cause, but it will be ignored).
- Prevented incorrect scores from showing on the leaderboard (couldn’t find the root cause, but they will be discarded).
- Ensured data is saved when autosaving (A small pause can be noticed now on certain consoles). Should help with the farm lost issue.
- Found and prevented a farm list glitch when using more than one storage device or user profiles in the same session.
- The game performs better when a storage device is pulled while playing.
- Fixed Warmblood horse harvest money.
- Gameplay changes:

The latest update for Avatar Farm Online has been released.
It features the following changes and additions.
- New items and features:
- Unlockable pets that follow your player around (available on Extras->My pets).
- Now you can move items (everything except plowed land and plants) by pressing X and then placing them somewhere else with A. The sell action is now performed by pressing LT+X.
- New building: Winery that allows you to sell grapes.
- Accumulation buildings (such as greenhouses, veg cart, fruit stand…) can now accumulate additional items (up to 3 times the base amount).
- Farm recovery: Farms that for some reason disappeared from the farm list should be found and added again.
- 9 New animals.
- Gameplay changes
- Increased the minimum time it takes for crops to die from 24 to 48 hours.
- Bugfixes:
- Fixed pending friend requests being granted Friend permissions.
- Fixed crash when joining a multiplayer game while some building is being deleted.
- Fixed crash when switching to world camera on a level 100 farm full of trees/buildings (by limiting number of items drawn).
- Fixed animal truck preview tiles not shown correctly.
- Tried to fix freezes related with P2P score sharing.
Important: We’ve detected two issues related with the pets when playing online that slipped through our tests. These two issues are the following:
- You may have a crash when joining an online game or when someone joins your game, with a mention of “RemotePlayerData” in the crash report.
- After joining a game or when someone joins your game, you may experience a serious drop in framerate, to 1 frame per second or less.
First issue happens if an user never entered the “My pets” section, second issue if an user with a custom pet joins a game.
The way to fix both issues is to just go to “Extras -> My pets” and select “None”.
If you intend to play offline, you can select a pet without risk, as this only applies to multiplayer.
We’ll submit an update as soon as we’re allowed (by 25th January).

White Noise 1st update has been released. You will be asked to download the new version next time you start the game.
It features the following changes:
- Fixed minor gravity issues
- Added unlockable night vision mode (unlocked after getting 12 tapes). With night vision, you have a greater field of view and more clarity, but a reduced view distance, and movement impairs visibility quite a lot.
