Ren Toxx Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 You will probably explain yourself better, and understand the answers better, in the French subforum :smileywink: Meanwhile, I suggest you go to your Second Life viewer program's Preferences, go to the Network & Cache tab and, if the Maximum bandwidth configured there is 500 kbps., raise it to 1500 kbps*. Then log off and on again to check the difference. * Don't raise it over that value, at least not much. An excessive value can cause other problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfBaginski Bearsfoot Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 There are settings you can adjust under Preferences (use "Ctrl-P" to get that) in various sub-sections. One of these is the Download Speed. Use Ctrl-Shift-1 to bring up the Statistics window. This does give the current download speed, but what you need to check is the number for lost packets. This should be zero, though I would not worry about a few. If you are getting lost packets when the current download speed is high, you need to reduce the setting in Preferences. Linden Labs had bad network problems over the weekend, and they may have to do some more work to clear up problems. Check Preferences -> Graphics and try reducing the setting a step. That can help a lot. It is possible that the Draw Distance is set higher than it needs to be, which means a lot of extra textures need to be downloaded.

Max8o Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 Why i have 700 ms here when i have 40 ms on others games? Help me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orca Flotta Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Why i have 700 ms here when i have 40 ms on others games? Help me Woah, 700 ms is quite a bad ping. Even from South Africa I have "only" 300-400 ms. From mainland EU you should be around 200 ms. Possible explanation: LL's server colos are in the USA, they don't have any servers locally in Europe like most other games. Still your ping should be much better. Are you maybe on wireless? Please plug directly into your modem/router, that might help a litttle. Conduct some speed tests with speedtest.net (locally and to Dallas/Tx, USA) and see if your numbers there match what your ISP promised you. If they are bad contact your ISP and swear at them! :smileymad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max8o Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 Hi and thx, i'm not on wireless, i did the test on speedtest.net : Local= Ping 26 MS ; Download 0.80 Mbps ; Upload 0.76 Mbps , To Dallas, TX = 133ms; Download 0.80 mbps; Upload 0.71 Mbps, Bad or good?

JoyofRLC Acker Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Download seems very low indeed. Shouldbe at least one orderof magnitude higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max8o Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 It's possible my firewall cause the lag? Or even windows 8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orca Flotta Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Indeed, Joy is correct. 1 MB speed is hardly considered broadband these days. I wonder how LL let you log into world in the first place. With 0.8 MB you can't stream YouTube without severe buffering and downloads must take you eternity every time. Ask your ISP for giving you a better connection. Also the local ping of 26 ms sounds like you're 1000 km away from your local exchange. Are you living on a remote island or in the middle of nowhere or are your copper wires that rusty? Max, it's time for you to enter the 21st century! :smileyvery-happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max8o Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Hehe, don't make fun of me and my connexion Orca !

Nalates Urriah Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Having a good Internet connection does not mean you have a good connection to Second Life. Read: Troubleshoot Your Second Life Connection. PING in the viewer is not the same as PING via your operating system (OS). Viewer stats PING is very much dependent on the SL server/region you are using. OS PING is only dependent on the hardware envolved in the connection. If you try PING from the OS and viewer at nearly the same time you often get very different results. For the purpose of performance the viewer's PING is what matters. For troubleshooting, finding there are different values being reported is key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orca Flotta Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 i thought it was because we are 3 on the connexion :'(, Oh, that explains a lot!!! When I'm doing more than standing around in world, like sailing or biking, I ask my husband to fuxen close the browser on his machine since I need all the bandwith for meeeeeeeee!!! , maybe see you in game !<3 Surely not in game but maybe in world. :smileytongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For best results, send your MB in insoluble packets. Or, I guess, you could learn more about how ICMP and TCP/IP works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
