[Anne Stillwater]

ok first off, for a few weeks now my avatars arms seem to have a mind of their own. when i take my ao off her arms start to twitch uncontrolably, i have done everything i can think of to fix the problem...i have stopped animations, i have removed aos, i have done character tests i have cleared cache and still my avs arm twitch like well a chicken....its crazy and annoying

 

Second of all i cant rez the top part of my torso, whenever i try to change my top it wont rez, whether its underwear, tops, jackets or alphas it wont rez, and when i go into edit appearance it looks like my torso is ruthed, even the skin dont rez. I have done numerous character tests, tried making outfit folders and nothing seems to work...

 

Please help me before i loose my mind!!!!

Hello Anne,

do you have the problem with the twitching arms only in a specific region?

Try teleporting to a different region, and press CTRL+ALT+D to enable the "Advanced menu", then go to Advanced-> and select 'Release keys'.

All animations should stop then.

When you then teleport back to the region where you're normally in, does the animation (twitching arms) start again?

Then there is probably a script in the region that stored your permissions to animate. You can try to locate it with the Beacons menu. Go to menu World->Show->Beacons and check the 'Scripted', 'Beacons', 'Highlight' checkboxes, and untick all others. This will show you all scripted objects in the region, and you can try to find out which of these is animating you.

 

For the other one, I recommend that you clear your cache manually. Go to menu Me->Preferences->Advanced and look up your cache location. Then go to that folder and remove the entire contents (be sure that you're not keeping any chat log files in the same order, when you purge it).

Also it might help to switch the HTTP-Textures option in your viewer. That's in the Develop menu (enable that menu with the shortcut CTRL+ALT+Q).

Always try to use a wired LAN to access Second Life. WLAN or any other non-wired internet connection is known for causing problems.

Also always rebake your avatar's textures while having the viewer window on your primary montior, if you have a multi-monitor setup. As dual-monitor setups are not supported.

Your two problems are related, both symptomatic of a weak or inconsistent Internet connection.  The appearance issue is called a "bake fail" problem, caused because the avatar appearance files on your own computer are not being transmitted reliably to SL's servers.  The "twitching" issue happens because your graphics card can't figure out where to render your avatar.  It's getting insufficient or conflicting information from the servers, so it's trying to draw you in two places at once.  Both symptoms may sometimes clear themselves up in a while if yourconnection improves.  Often, in fact, you can shock them ito repairing themselves by rebaking your av or teleporting to a high altitude. If your system has a chronic problem, though, you have to address it directly.

If you've been on wireless, get off it now.  Wireless was never designed to handle the sort of heavy data transfer that SL expects, and it is too vulneranle to interference from garage door openers, cell phones, smart refrigerators, and even fluorescent light fixtures.  Then reboot your router by unplugging it from the power foir a few minutes.  Do the same thing with your modem.  Then plug them back in and restart your computer for good measure.  That should be enough to give your system a chance at a stronger connection.  If not, consider some additional steps here >>> http://blog.nalates.net/2011/10/26/troubleshoot-your-sl-connection/
