Frustrating

Too much time wasted while popup ads, such as the lying iPhone one, freeze my computer. Then I am told my time limit is up.

Hey there Allan,

We're sorry for any advertisement that may cause an issue while playing. We are working diligently to remove any of the advertisements that case issues with the games (as this should definitely NOT happen). However, in order for us to locate this particular advertisement we need a bit more information from you. Please contact our Customer Service team by going to http://freeridegames.com/support and click the "Need Help?" button at the top of the website. That way we can speak with you 1 on 1 and get this vital information.

Regarding the time limit error, you can rest assured that there are no time limits on our games. The message you received is regarding the 3 hour session you were allotted to play the game. Without getting to long-winded or technical, we provide a 3 hour ticket to access the games at a time (to avoid issues with piracy, security, etc). Before the "ticket" expires you will be warned ahead of time and able to save/exit the game. All you have to do after that is play the game again and you will be given another "Ticket".

If you run into any further issues please contact our Customer Service team and we'll be happy to help!

Great selection, great games, occasional frustrating glitches

I've been using Free Ride for a couple of years now, and most of the time I love it. I have a relatively new laptop computer, but every once in a while I get games that not only won't run but sometimes freeze my computer to where I have to restart. The help menu and explanations neither help nor explain, I usually just give up on those games. Sometimes a game I've been playing will suddenly stop running with no explanation, I will no longer be able to load it. BUT these are exceptions, and in general the games are fun and run fine. The ads are not that intrusive, for a free game. I do sometimes get frustrated on some of the hidden object game since the screen is minimal due to the ads on the edges, making it harder to see. But overall, I have had only occasional issues and I love the amazing variety and selection of games! :)

Useless

Could not play the game at all - would just go to a blank screen with music and pointer. What a waste

Hello Paulette,

We're sorry you had issues playing the game. Usually when a game has issues playing it is likely due to either out of date DirectX of Video Card Drivers on your PC. It can even be caused by background programs on your computer that conflict with the game.

Luckily we have instructions on how to fix and update these components. Please click here (http://www.freeridegames.com/support/?article_id=2468) and follow the instructions in the article.

If you ever run into any issues again, please do not hesitate to contact our support. Just go to http://freeridegames.com/support and click the "Need Help?" button on the website.

We'll be happy to help you one on one!

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

me and my kids n mom love the fact we can play all kinds of games. the age difference is from 50 to 7, and it is fun to watch my children learn and conquer new games! when they are happy so am i. just wish that once a game was downloaded you didnt have to have the internet to play them, and the time limits on some games such as the house of wonders game. all in all im extremly happy this sight is here. being a mother of 4 im not able to buy computer games for my children. we dont own any gaming system other than a computer. thank you for thinking of the lil' people.

Nothing good in life is free and freeride is proof of that!!!

If you want to download FreeRide so you can watch advertisements ONLY then this is the sight for you!!! If you want to download so you can play the games this sight promises you can play for free well then you got issues. I downloaded 3 separate games and could not play a one of them!!! The advertisements played no problem but then once that was over and I tried to play the game my system froze up, it says I dont have this or that blah blah blah. Waste of time and memory

Hello Cris,
Our games are 100% free and the ads should ony be seen on the boarders and sometimes a banner will come up and pause the games, but they should never prevent you from playing the games at all. If you contact our Support team we would like to find out what the issue was and the error messages that you received, so that we can resolve the issue and you can play the games. please get in touch with our Customer Service team. Just go to http://freeridegames.com/support and click the "Need Help?" button at the top of the page.

Hope to hear from you.

VERY FRUSTRATED HAVE TO START OVER MANY TIMES.

We play Jewel quest 3 my husband does tournaments and ads interupt his play but not the person he is playing so that is unfair, and very frustrating! Also we are having continous problems with the game bombing out and now all day today everytime we go in the whole game freezes and the only way to get out is to task manager and end task so not been much fun! Wish we could just out right purchase the game so we didnt have to deal with all these issues.

Hey there Terry,

The advertisements within the games shouldn't interrupt your gameplay. Once every hour or so there will be a full screen "Commercial" for a few minutes.

And we know how annoying the advertisements can get, so that is why we released a new premium service called "GameTanium". This service gets you access to all your favorite Free Ride Games PLUS an additional 1500 extra! No only that, but you can remove ALL the Advertisements. You get access to all of this for the low cost of $9.83/month (or roughly 6 pounds per month). Just click here (https://www.freeridegames.com/services/gametanium/secured/signup_2012.html) and fill out the required info.

Best part about this deal? You get the first 7 days completely free. So try it out and if you don't like it you can always cancel.

Farm Frenzy is "Frentastic"!!!! with not too many ads, very few glitches for a free game.

I have learned to watch and not click during ads. Most of them do not last longer than 15-21 seconds and then put you right back into your game. I find I read them and like some of them, however, the disclaimers that some of them say "clicking this ad will not keep you from playing your game" is usually not true. If you wait until the ad becomes "thank you for watching" then your computer does not freeze up most of the time. If I am playing a game where I have to click repeatedly to play the game, then I sometimes inadvertently am still clicking when the ad suddenly appears and that messes up everything. The ads that run along the side that have bugs crawling are extremely annoying and distracting. They do not effectively advertise either, because I have no idea what they are selling.

Stupid adds prevent players from playing the games.

I started playing a game and maybe about 5 min. into the game a full screen add for cars popped up. There was no way to get rid of it so that I could continue playing the game. Adds are fine if you can continue playing game.

Hey there Cynthia,

You are absolutely right, the advertisements should never completely overtake the games (we do have a commercial like advertisement that will run after about an hour or so that will pause the game for a moment, but will go away).

We are working very hard to remove these advertisements that interrupt gameplay completely and apologize for the inconvenience.

If this continues to happen to you we would need to know exactly what advertisement is popping up (name of the company, etc). In order for us to gather that info, please get in touch with our Customer Service team. Just go to http://freeridegames.com/support and click the "Need Help?" button at the top of the page.

Enjoy the games!

I came, I played, I conquered !

Graphics were topnotch, multi levels with a variety of puzzles. As regular, long term players of hidden object games this one kept my attention with the twists & turns of the story line. Keep up the good work.
