Hello everyone. I have been suffering from an issue and, after trying anything I could find, decided to try to see if I could get anymore suggestions to make the experience less of a headache. I disconnect (I can still turn, but cannot move. I can still chat, but cannot see any messages, and lose any that were sent. I can still interact with media. Eventually it will go grey, but I tend to close it out beforehand to fix the issue as quickly as possible. It tends to kill most interactions with other people, because who wants to do something only to have to do it again after I crash) at a highly frequent rate, though the exact rate seems to vary. I can go 4-5 hours without issue, or I could have to relog every 2-3 minutes. This has made it hard to diagnose, since it could look like the problem was improving, only for it to act out again.
This issue has been going on for at least quite a few months, it might be possible that I never had a point where I didn't have these issues. I do recall it killing RP experiences in the past, when I had a very different computer setup including a different OS (in fact, I struggle to think of a part that would have remained the same since then). Needless to say, I feel it is unlikely to be a hardware issue.
I know the first thing people like to point to is a network issue. However, I should note that I have been on multiple accounts quite frequently, and that I tend to crash on one while the other continues to work fine. It is like each account is independent of each other, though all crash just as frequently, which would seem odd for a network issue since I would assume both would simply crash at the same time. I can also play various MMOs without these issues occurring, it seems to only happen like this in SL.
I have Xfinity and recently changed my modem to a 1 Gbps model. Changing my modem did not fix the problem, if anything it might be increased in frequency. I have changed my DNS to Google, no luck. I have forwarded the proper ports in my modem, which is a wired connection.
I have tried using Black Dragon to see if the problem was Firestorm. It seems to happen less frequently upon first trying a new viewer, but eventually starts settling back to what I have on Firestorm. Therefore, I think it is a problem independent of viewer.
I have tried lowering my graphics settings to the minimum and still had crashing issues to the same severity, so I have my doubts that the graphics are too demanding. Computer hardware seems fine. I have tested the CPU/GPU temperatures while running SL, I am not stressing the hardware at all. It has persisted through graphics driver updates. With 64 GB of memory, I am barely taxing SL memory-wise. I doubt it has anything to do with avatar complexity, a simple alt with the bare minimum attached crashes quite frequently.
I have watched what happens when I disconnect. No packet loss. FPS remains fine. The only difference is that no data is being sent.
I should also note I have noticed issues with llceflib_host.exe and, from time to time, will get a message saying that it has crashed. Not sure how related this is. I have auto-play turned off for media.
At this rate I just don't know what to do. It is enough of a hassle to stop most things dead in their tracks, yet I am not sure where the problem is coming from. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.
