Hey guys! I've been noticing a few common trends in your questions, so here are a few more answers in a consolidated format for your reading pleasure
What is the Desktop App?The YoWorld Desktop App is a
browser, just like Chrome or Safari or Internet Explorer - but it was made
specifically to run Flash for YoWorld during the 'in-between' time before 2020.
Can I keep playing if I can't/don't want to download?Of course! Flash will not be fully deprecated until sometime in 2020. You'll be able to play on any browser - the App as well as more traditional browsers - until that time. You just may have to authorize Flash more frequently on other browsers as time goes on.
Can I zoom in?Not with the very first version, but we hear your feedback! This should be addressed in a future update.
Will I lose my account / start over?No! Your YoWorld account is tied to your Facebook account. The Desktop App still requires you to log into Facebook to play YoWorld, so you'll have access to your existing account and everything within.
What about shared computers, can more than one person use it?Yes! Again, the App logs in through Facebook. Log out of Facebook using the arrow at the top right corner of the screen to log into another Facebook account!
I was already logged into Facebook, why do I have to log in again?While the Desktop App works in a very similar way to most browsers, it is
not related in any way to your already-installed browsers. Think of it like if you've used Internet Explorer for years, and go to use Chrome for the first time - Chrome will not know your login details from IE.
What does 64bit mean?64bit is a newer technology that allows for the use of better hardware than traditional 32bit systems. At the time of this writing, the App is only available for 64bit versions of Windows. We'll have more information about future updates and how they will affect compatibility sometime soon.
Are payments secure?Payments are still handled entirely by Facebook. YoWorld and Big Viking Games do not ever receive your payment method information!
Do Hot Dogs still work?Yes! You can choose to collect either in a regular browser, or be redirected into the App from your Facebook feed (which you'll still view from a traditional browser).
Does it work on mobile / Puffin?Flash is not very mobile-friendly, so there currently is no mobile version of YoWorld. Puffin is one of very few Flash-enabled mobile browsers - so while you can't install a new browser within that browser, it seems that Puffin plans to support Flash until the deprecation date in 2020. You'll be able to play YoWorld in the same way until then.
Can I use it on Linux/Chromebook?We only support Windows and Mac at this time. We'll have more information about future updates and how they will affect compatibility sometime soon.
Do Paintboards & Fiddler still work?Please note that we do not officially support the use of Fiddler. While we have traditionally turned a blind eye to its use, we cannot guarantee that Fiddler will always work in YoWorld on any platform.
