Why am I moving in slow motion

Good question.  Is it happening everywhere, or just on some sims?  If you go to a nice quiet sim like Smith, do you walk at a normal speed?  When you walk, do you walk at a uniform speed, or do you sort of jerk forward a little bit at a time, like you're being pulled on a bungeee cord? 

One way or another, you are experiencing lag.  By studying some of those questions, you can narrow down the problem to decide whether your own computer and its Internet connection are the cause, or whether you're just on a laggy sim.  Take a look here for the range of possibilities. 

If you want to provide extra information or need to clarify your question, click on the Options link in the upper right corner of your question and select EDIT. Please do not start a new thread. Doing that makes it hard for us to see what other people have already suggested, and it pushes other residents' questions off the page.

Hi Lynn,

Rolig is probably on the right track in thinking your slow movement is due to lag, but there's another, less likely reason. If your avatar is doing everything smoothly, but at half speed or so, your viewer may have inadvertently slipped into one of the slow animation modes.

You'll find them in the "Develop" menu, which you enable via Ctrl+Alt+Q.

From that menu, select "Avatar->Animation Speed->Reset All Animation Speed".

Good luck!

There's a gesture called "Baywatch" that is a sloooow motion run.  Maybe you have something like that triggered?
