Steve Mahfouz Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I go to a club that rarely reboots its server. I noticed severe packet loss at that club. Will packet loss always happen if you fail to reboot regularly, or is that just an idiosyncratic thing ? I almost never see packet loss in SL. Just curious, thank you kindly.

Thinkerer Melville Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I think many sim owners in SL have the opinion that a reboot at least once a week is good practice for efficient operation. Usually, SL does a sim software upgrade once a week, providing the reboot. You can see the reboot schedule here: http://status.secondlifegrid.net/ To find out what server is running on a specific sim, go there, click on Help (top menu), click on About Second LIfe, look for server .

Cerridwen Lynagh Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Steve, Dunno about the relationship to sim reboots; however, i have been unable to use my merchant outbox for days....there is an item in it "initializing" that i cant send to marketplace, cant delete, cant add anything else to outbox. I have tried everything i could think of, everything i can find in the forums and help areas, and finally resorted to paying to re-become a premium member (something i dropped ages ago because i found it worthless) just so i could go to live chat and maybe get this fixed...i have now chatted twice with someone and basically been told "we can't do anything, it's packet loss on your end" which i think is total BS because i have run 4 different packet loss checkers, rebooted my modem, rebooted my router, rebooted my computer, tried the Sl viewer, tried the Sl market outbox viewer thing, tried Firestorm, upgraded all my drivers, prayed to the Almighty and offered up my first born son to anyone who can fix this thing...all to no avail. I am thinking i will get more help if I find a voodoo doll and put Gov Linden's name on it. Anyone with any ideas on fixing this, let me know. Good luck to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerridwen Lynagh Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 oh and also tried both wireless and regular connections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinkerer Melville Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Cerridwen Lynagh -- try to test a new router. Routers can fail on ports that are not used by browsers, but are used by SL. So the fact that your system is fine on your browser does not mean it is OK for SL. TKR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
