Ruud Carpool 0 Posted April 10, 2011 Hello people,Whenever I start up Secondlife in any viewer the lagg I have is horrible! sometimes I can count up to 10 seconds for another frame to come up, I think my maximum is at about 5 frames per second but I am very lucky when I have that. My computer is 100% fine and I can run anything on full settings and I mostly have even more than a 100 FPS with large games like the Total War series.I tried everything I can to fix it, but still I did not find a solution which even helps to get a few more frames per second...Anyone else has this problem? and have you found a cure? would love to know if someone did...My system specs(the ones I know):Motherboard:Asus P8H67-M PRO iH67, SATA600, USB 3,0 RAIDProcessor:Intel Core i7 2600 3.40 GHz 8MB BoxMemory:2x4GBGraphics Card:XFX PCI-e Radeon HD6950 2GB 2xDVI/HDMI/2xDPHard Drive:2TBOS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 BitMy drivers are up to date.

Claireschen Hesten 4,652 Posted April 10, 2011 i've seen it suggested in an inworld group that if you've started experiencing poor FPS doing a clean install can bring your FPS back to normal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kolb1488303416 0 Posted April 10, 2011 Hi Ruud! When I had this problem, I increased my bandwith under Preferences, and it seems to have fixed the problem. But be careful, if you are an AT&T subscriber, they are limiting your monthly bandwith, so be careful not to allow SL to take to much. Goodluck!

Kolb1488303416 0 Posted April 10, 2011 @Ruud, also, what is your RAM? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruud Carpool 0 Posted April 10, 2011 I am not that good with computers, but isnt RAM the Memory: 2x4 GB? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruud Carpool 0 Posted April 10, 2011 reinstalling with that guide is not working, for both phoenix and viewer 2. Putting my bandwidth on maximum is also not working.. this screenshot might helphttp://i715.photobucket.com/albums/ww151/Rudovich/statisticssl.jpg?t=1302447628 As you see, it says the FPS is very good while I barely got any...

Void Singer 203 Posted April 10, 2011 that isn't a Crossfire system is it? we had another thread where Crossfire doesn't play well with SL... everything acts normal EXCEPT the frame rate in that setup.... if it is, disable crossfire and try again. if it's not, it might help to know what you network stats and frame rate look like. you can find those by opening the advanced and debug menus (preferences advanced). and then pressing atrl+shft+1. at the top of that new window you'll see your framerate (it should be well over16 normally, in your case it should be running in the 30's I would think), and farther down you'll see items for network bandwidth, and more importantly, packet loss and ping time.

Baloo Uriza 52 Posted April 11, 2011 Can you give us the system info from About Second Life in the help menu? That'll tell us everything we need to know about your computer's configuration. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Minor69her Papp 0 Posted April 11, 2011 From your specs I think you are running a system with ATI Crossfoire enabled, I had the same problem a few days ago, the only viable solution I could find was to disable crossfire when I play in SL, SL doesn't seem to play well with ATI crossfire setups for some reason. Now that I run with crossfire disabled I get my usual smooth running SL again, though at a slightly lower frame rate than other things run at...but it's still 25+ with Ultra settings so not too bad.

Ruud Carpool 0 Posted April 12, 2011 I only have 1 video card, isnt crossfire with 2? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruud Carpool 0 Posted April 12, 2011 Things which might also help for anyone to find the problem, It isn't the game itself.. but the viewer(any viewer). Login screens are as slow as after logging in. I dont have the latest update on my driver and cannot even install it, whenever I try it I only get a blackscreen.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baloo Uriza 52 Posted April 12, 2011 I'm not so quick to fault the viewer, but rather the drivers provided by the OEM for Windows. How does the same machine perform under Linux? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruud Carpool 0 Posted April 12, 2011 I am no computer expert, never tested that out and OEM=Original equipement manufacturer? anyways.. the computer is fully made out of components I all ordered seperatly(well someone else did it for me...). The software was also ordered there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm pretty sure you didn't design and build your own graphics adapter and write the drivers for it yourself. I suppose it's possible, but that'd be extremely exceptional.

Hitomi Heron 0 Posted April 15, 2011 This sounds a lot like the exact same problem I have been having. Here are my specs: CPU: Intel Pentium Pro/2/3, Core (Unknown model) (3333 MHz) Memory: 12279 MB OS Version: Professional (Build 7600) Graphics Card Vendor: ATI Technologies Inc. Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD 5900 Series Windows Graphics Driver Version: 8.17.0010.1041 OpenGL Version: 4.0.10151 Compatibility Profile Context libcurl Version: libcurl/7.20.1 OpenSSL/0.9.8j zlib/1.2.3 J2C Decoder Version: OpenJPEG: 1.4.0.635, Runtime: 1.4.0.635 Audio Driver Version: FMOD version 3.750000 Qt Webkit Version: 4.5.2 I made another thread about this too where I give all the details of my situation but one thing I would like to say right here is that I KNOW that this system can run Second Life because it has done it many many times before.

Ruud Carpool 0 Posted April 16, 2011 Fix Hitomi Heron(and anyone else who might have the same problem I had), A friend of me found a simple fix that you need to do everytime when starting up Second Life. Whenever you start it up you just wait for it to get into the login screen, then you press ctrl-shift-escape to open up 'Task-Manager'. There should be a few tabs on the top of which one is called 'Processes', Click this one and look for the Second Life viewer process. Right click on it once you found it, and select the affinity option and a new screen should pop-up in which there are several processors selected. Deselect all but one, and now Second life should run smooth if you have the same problem as I had.. It really worked well with me, I now got the Hz that I usually have with other games and programs.

Ruud Carpool 0 Posted April 16, 2011 It seems so, though when there is to much around me in Second Life I will still get a little lag.. Does this have to do with the 'not enough processors' part? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does this have to do with the 'not enough processors' part? No, I run on an older machine, a laptop no less, and still pull framerates that are from merely usable in high traffic locales to fully vehicle-ready on the highways and railways. However, my choice of OS doesn't include a fundamentally broken scheduler, which likely helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hitomi Heron 0 Posted April 16, 2011 Cool thanks, looks like that worked for me. I hope they fix that bug but for now I guess its nice to have a work around. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
