How do I get it to say what's on a street I'm entering?

I want to see the "X butterflies, X chickens, Y rocks for mining, Z trees...", but it only does that sometimes, and I don't know how to trigger it. Help?

  • The info doesn't seem to appear for all streets, but it's all in the Encyclopedia location section.

  • Hmm, it's not in the glitchen's hands, maybe you have super ultra high speed internet?  Or are you given enough time to look at the loading screen? Bug report it for sure.

  • No, I see the loading screen for long enough, but it rarely ever has the information on it.

  • When you enter a street, you briefly see that message. You can leave the street and come back, or look at the street description here:

  • Hmmm, I always seem to be given this information, but perhaps I just haven't happened to be looking for the info on the rare occasions that it isn't there? I should go wander around and see if I can find a street where it doesn't tell me what is there.

  • I get the message more often when I play on my desktop comp and less often on my slow, mini laptop... connection speed or size of screen is my guess

  • Sometimes, for me anyway, the info of what's on the street doesn't load as fast as the street itself, causing it to be "missing"... In an Ideas thread an OK button was proposed that would allow the loading screen to stay up for longer; I like it (my loading screens disappear too fast sometimes), but I can see others having an issue with it.

  • I think it's the size of the screen. I always get the information on my laptop with a full browser, but if I happen to access the game at work through a smaller browser window, it does not show the information.

  • I'll chime in on the size-of-screen thing.  When I'm playing on my netbook I can't get it unless I F11.
