Peggy Paperdoll Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I don't think anyone knows the *bleep* why. What's more I don't think anyone can even guess to why the *bleep* your viewer crashes. You want to guess what might help someone help you? Think hard, it might come to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilbert Dilweg Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 It can happen from time to time and can be very frustrating. Just be patient and try to log in to another region. Clear your cache first in case there is a corrupt texture or something causing the crash. It would help others to troubleshoot the problem if you were to provide more information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caitlin Tobias Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Everytime someone, somewhere says ***bleep***, a viewer crashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solar Legion Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Heck, I'm still trying to figure out why certain venues silent/hard crash my client (ANY client) and why Mouselook causes a buffer failure crash after a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jman70 Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 Thank you everybody except paperdoll. The rest of you can sympathize in my frustration. Anyways, I am using the Second Life viewer. No matter what region I log in at, it says: Darn. You have been logged out of Second Life.This region may be experiencing trouble. Please check your connection to the Internet. My connection is fine. The regions are fine (I can tell because I am able to log in with an inferior viewer.). This has been going on for a few days now and happens IMMEDIATELY after logging on. My wife is able to log onto her account with the same viewer/same computer just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peggy Paperdoll Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 "... Darn. You have been logged out of Second Life. This region may be experiencing trouble. Please check your connection to the Internet. ..." -------------------------------------------------- Had you left the the *bleep* part two days ago and provided some of the same information you just provided there's a very good chance you would not be having the problem you are still having. You are not crashing...you are bing logged off (a world of difference, by the way). Whenever someone says "Why the **bleep** does the viewer keep crashing everytime I log in?" and nothing else (no discription of the problem other than the inaccurate "crash", nothing about an error message, nothing about what you have tried to do to remedy the problem, and, most importantly, no computer specs.........which you still haven't done) there's nothing but guesses. And since the error message says that you were disconnection (not crashed) all guesses revolving around a crash are very unlikely to fix your problem. That was the point of my post (with the same tone you displayed in your intial post). But, since I now have a clue, I'll take a guess (computer specs are still in order but for a disconnection from the servers most of the time the specs are not as important). Manually clear your cache. If you have more than one account on the same computer (which you said your wife does so that counts) and more than one viewer then manually clear all those caches too. While you're at it it's a good idea to move the caches for each account and each viewer to a separate location on your computer (to help prevent problems like this coming up again). To find where your cache is located on your computer go to the tab you would go to to clear your cache using the viewer preference utility......you'll see where the cache is located on your computer in the box next to the clear cache button. Copy that location, close your viewer (you don't need to log in.....and since you are having problems you probably can't anyway), then navigate to that location on your computer, open the last folder in the path and select all and hit delete. Restart your computer then launch the viewer again. Before you log in change your log in location to one of the Linden Lab supported sims (Pooley, Lime, Aqua are three the I know off the top of my head). Log in. When you arrive at one of those sims you'll be underwater in a pretty barren sim (it's known as a quiet sim with no scripts and no builds). Take a couple steps away from the landing point to avoid being landed on by arriving avatars. Then open your inventory. It should be loading but it isn't then prompt it to start by typing in a few random letters until the counter starts. Then just wait. It can take a while for your inventory to load (don't do anything but wait.....not chatting, IMing, changing clothes or shapes). When your inventory fully loads (you can tell when the counter switches from saying "fetching xxxx items" to "xxxx items fetched". Then close the inventory and TP home or where ever you normally log into. Most of the time that will fix your problem.....but not always. If that doesn't fix then you really do have to give some computer specs for a more "educated" guess. You can find that easily by looking under the "Help" menu of your viewer and copying and pasting back here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any idea of OUR FRUSTRATION with the endless posts we see from people saying **bleep** **bleep** **bleep** Second Life sucks and offer us no details with which to help them. Put yourself in our shoes. We are among other things here to help and all we get is **bleep** on. If you think Peggy didn't understand YOUR frustration, you were wrong.

jman70 Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 Yes, you're right and I apologize. I was having a very tough day and when my viewer started acting up I just flipped out. I guess that's why bad moods are contagous or like snowballs rolling down a hill. I'm currently working on clearing the cache. I thank all of you ESPECIALLY Paperdoll for your help.

I do have a tendacy to be a little blunt which I suppose I could curb somewhat....but, again, since I don't take things personally, I also think others should not. Your apology is accepted (even if I really didn't expect one), I appreciate it. I just hope you get the issue resolved. If it continues, then give us some computer specs (by opening the viewer to the log in screen and under the "Help" menu copy the specs reported to the servers by your viewer and paste back here). Your connection speed and type (ncluding if you have a router in your home network) is also helpful. Your bandwidth setting in your preferences will effect your ability to remain connected to the servers if your speed (and whether or not you are experiencing high latency issues or high packet loss.....anything over about 2% packet loss is substanial) is slow of flakey.

Peggy Paperdoll Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 A couple of things. First the driver you are using is driver version 186.40. The current driver is 301.42 for your video card on a Windows 7 x64 system. Your driver is very old (I kept my old driver for a couple years before I updated it and it's version number was 19x.xx (I forget the exact version number).......your version 186.40 is before my old driver and I updated that driver about 6 months ago. That driver is not doing you any good as far as crashing is concerned.......you need to update that video driver before you even attempt any other fix. And second. An nVidia 9100 card (no matter GT, GTS or GTX) is a bottom level card for the 9000 series. The 9000 series nVidia card is about 3 years old (I'm being generous because it could be older). It's a weak card to begin with even back in the days when it was brand new on the market. With the advances to the SL viewers it's next to useless for anything other than the very bottom of the preferences settings in a veiwer more modern than than the old SL viewer 1.23 (LL stopped support for that viewer over 2 years ago). I think you an see where your problems lay. Until you resolve those two issues I doubt you're going to have much of an SL life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jman70 Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 Alright, the driver is now updated. It's still not working. I don't think the video card is what's causing the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rish Bleriot Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 It is because everyone on the net has gotten their act together but linden labs. Windows doesnt crahs anymore ...but SL still does. Nothing else crashes on my computer ...but SL still does !. It is because they refuse to run it on anything other than an old laptop and they cannot afford good programmers.
