Sincere praise for improved teleports

[Steve Mahfouz]

I've been in SL for over 5 years now, and teleports have usually been problematic for me. Recently, I've noticed a very substantial improvement in teleports. They seem to go through now almost always no matter how busy the sim or how many attachments I have on.

Congratulations staff and management of Second Life ! I've been one of your harshest critics but in all fairness, this is outstanding. Thanks for the work.

Huh?

While I congratulate you on your experiences with getting around I have to actively wonder what you are talking about. In the space of about 2 1/2 hours this past Saturday, and between two different browsers (v.2.5 official and latest Phoenix), I got the "you have been logged out of SecondLife" message and booted out of the system no less than 10 times. I mean I literally could not tp anywhere. It took me three relogs to make one jump and once I did, I couldn't leave there until Sunday morning.

And then, when I got booted in similar fashion from my next destinations, it was as if I had never successfully tp'd from the first one, because no matter where I was last, it would still send me back to where I was Satuday after every relog, despite attachment changes and purchases I had made since I left going throgh without reverting back.

It was literally the worst performance I have ever experienced in SL since I got here in early '07. A complete joke. Paid software that performed like this would have been pulled off the shelves. And yes, I did clear cache, my bandwidth settings were wide open and devoting 80% of available bandwidth to SL, etc.

But again, I'm glad everyone wasn't having the time I was.

Sorry to hear of those problems ! Trust me, I've had MANY days like yours. I think they still have work to do, to put it politely.

Teleports do seem faster, being able to move when you land though, doesn't always feel the same.

now that you mention it.. i have had a better teleporting experience too.. and since i upgraded to the most recent version of phoenix, i don't get logged out as often either..
