Sudden Non Rezzing Issue

[Christy Mynx]

Everything was hunky dory, bought mesh body, head, clothes, skipping around SL with a great experience, logged off for the night, next morning after logging in, I am having an issue with lag (avatar movement) all objects rezzing slowly and predominately mesh items not rezzing, in some cases a few of the mesh objects on a fairly empty sim will rez in after about 1 hr.

Things I have tried to fix the issue:

I cleared cache, inventory cache, browser cache, relogged, restarted laptop, rebooted modem router (unplugged all electrical and phone cable) waited 10mins restart all.

Tried Firestorm 4.7.5 (47975) Nov 9 2015 18:48:20 still same issue.

I'm in Australia and Speedtest.com result to my ISP server in Brisbane: Ping 33ms, Download: 7Mbps, Upload 0.79Mbps

I tried a brandnew install on a new laptop that has never had SL viewer on it, got the same result, using Wi-Fi and cabled to the modem, results are the same.

I turned off firewall and antivirus, same results.

I did a tracert and got the following:

 



I am not sure what these results mean, can anyone help decipher them please?

Cheers,

Christy

Try a speedtest on this page.. http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_speedtest you should be testing to tuscon AZ in the US. that is where the SL servers are. What is your SL bandwidth set to?

[Christy Mynx]

Hi Drake thank you for the reply,

I have both Firestorm & SL Viewer bandwidth set to 500 kbps and the speed test result was:

Ping 31ms, Download 10.22 Mbps, Upload 0.85 Mbps

You need to test to Tuscon AZ in the US... Click the link i posted and use that speedtest link.

[Christy Mynx]

*face palm* I did use the link, but chose "recommended server" which overrode the US server, you wanted me to use.

 

So after selecting "preferred server" I get

which is a whole lot slower LOL

Still a lot faster than 1.83 so recommended max bandwidth according to the Firestorm help page is 1500.

 

Why is it a bad idea to go higher than 1500 btw? And of course, whty is it possible to set max bandwidth as high as 10,000 if you should never actually do it?

No, the reccomended max bandwidthh is 500 as they are wireless.

The reason no-one recommends a bandwidth over 1500kbps even with a fast modem and fibre is that the SL servers cannot send information at more than 2mbps even under ideal circumstances and over a short net hop.  So if you set BW too high all that happens is that the viewer doesn't see the expected packets and flags them as "lost".  It also confuses some of the base code but I don't know the detail of that. 

Wi-Fi is set to 500kbps because of the pulsed nature of Wi-Fi (I gather).

Thank you Ayesha, that was exactly the information I needed!
