[UPDATED] Devs' Corner: May 2026

Okay, but when will we be able to right-click and new tab horse purchase notifications? Its annoying having to constantly go back to the page and click each individual one over and over to find the horses I've purchased.

I just checked and I've also lost 15 different messages. Seems like its a site-wide bug and not just a select few.

I have a bug that says I have used up all my BMI trades this week (peg account).....even though I havent......... And I know its because of this update.......
I'll wait 24 hours before I go to contact us, see if it goes away on its own.

I had a PM get deleted as well again. My friend and I had this exact same problem on the 3rd of September. I guess whatever caused it wasn't fixed.

Oh, good, thank you for confirming this...I was too scared to click the button to see if anything like that actually popped up. It just looks very casual without the huge warning text already beside it on the account page. I nearly clicked it myself, thinking that it was to save/confirm my changes, when I was messing with my simplified training settings, before I realized what it actually was.

Seriously? All PMs are gone. I had stuff saved in there that I sent to myself solely because I ran out of room in my notebook. All the conversations with friends, sales deals, *gone*. Did anyone ever get their messages back?

It really makes little sense that the options you enable/disable in gameplay preferences do not match the exact categories as listed in the notification center drop down.

Please don't call it "Financial Transactions" in my preferences and "Trade" in my notification center; "Events" in preferences and "other in the notification center. I'm trying to figure out what is what and this should be perfectly clear information.

As my suggestion for changing the item exchange notification was unheard, I'll say again. Please include what we are receiving in the front rather than starting with "Your item exchange has been accepted." When the notification is unread, you cannot see what you were credited with. Now that you removed our ability to see unread notifications (which, unbolded, you'd see the beginning of your item) we have to do extra steps to figure out what we got - and that defeats the purpose of the notification.

Also, I hope you will be looking into more categories for what we want to see or not. I want to see that I got passes from my divines. I don't want to see that my horses have died because I keep my other farm clear - I know where all my dead horses are and I don't need that info. But you stuck everything under breeding farm.

Also, can we get the option to see our unread notifications or not? I think I preferred having the unread ones there, especially for the item exchanges. In which case if the wording will not be changed, I definitely want seeing my unread notifications back.

I'm really glad that they got rid of the "your daily objectives are waiting for you" notification and tweaked some of the other notifications. It definitely makes things easier, and I don't know about anybody else, but I certainly don't need a notification every single day telling me something I've known for over a year now.

However, can we please do something about the incessant lag, and all the glitches? In lieu of the constant updates/new features/tweaks to the new features? They're all completely pointless when the game is entirely unplayable for large chunks of the day, and the glitches are becoming really annoying, too.

My game is snail slow for the majority of the day on any given day. It is most certainly not on my side as my laptop is pretty new and always up to date/well maintained, my WiFi is pretty fast, and this is the only website that I ever have any issues with. Additionally, there's been several topics across the different forums in regards to this with many, many different players confirming that they're having the same exact problem at the same exact time. There's currently a topic in the VIP forum about it with almost 170 comments.

Everything else I'm doing on my laptop will be zippy fast but the game will be unbelievably slow and completely pointless and infuriating to even try to play. Spinning monkeys, pages taking several minutes to load, buttons shaking/disappearing, pages automatically refreshing, the simplest of actions, even replying to private messages/posting in forums/clicking on something, taking ridiculously long. It's a mess. Yesterday I got logged out to a maintenance page several times throughout the day. It was really annoying.

Additionally, there's now a glitch where your messages are being randomly deleted, possibly permanently?

This seems far more pertinent than any notification center update, in my mind, and probably in the minds of anybody else who's lost messages.

I didn't even lose that many as I regularly delete my messages and keep my inbox fairly cleaned up, saving anything sentimental/important elsewhere, but I had quite a few new/un-replied to messages I was waiting to reply to yesterday/today.

I defended Howrse a little bit when it first happened, thinking that maybe somebody made a mistake, and accidentally deleted the wrong file or something, so hey, maybe they're new, maybe it truly was an accident, hopefully they offer some kind of explanation/resolution eventually, this silence is weird, but it's okay. It was probably just an innocent mistake.

Now that it's happening again, it doesn't seem like a simple "oops, my bad, sorry." It's a real issue.

i sent a 'contact us' message to howrse hours ago and it still hasn't moved past the first stage of processing yet.

this bug ruins the experience for many players. i had threads that were hundreds of messages long with friends who i've been talking to for years. really disheartening to see...

Hmm... the objectives are waiting alert must have been changed after the daily update. I still got mine.
