All sim crossing very slow this week? Or is it just me?

[George Huntsman]

I keep trying to go for a flight around the Blakes Sea.  I get stuck at every region crossing for about 30 seconds, and then, after 5 or so, stuck forever.

It could be my long latency connection, or something new in SL since the reboots.

Anyone know?

Could'nt even bicycle properly last night, let alone sail or fly. Every wall I brushed against on the cycle I sort of sank into, becoming trapped inside. Plain prim walls too. T'was weird.

Well that would explain not being able to cross sims in events where the Barbie-dolls go, but the regions I am flying in are basically empty of avis.

It could be other people outside of Second Life increasing the load on the lines you're connecting on:

I think there's something worse since the new version last Wednesday. My own bikes have monitoring and logging, and three times I've seen a message I haven't seen in months: "CROSSSLOW - Waiting for avatar to cross". The bike has entered a new region, but the avatar hasn't yet crossed regions and caught up. My bikes freeze in place when this happens, because a second region crossing with the avatar Left Behind will cause a hard fail. After about 10-15 seconds, the avatar caught up, the bike unfroze, and things went normally.

My internet was wack last night.  Not just SL, but everything.

I blame Coronavirus.  Lots more people staying home and keeping up with events on their PCs.

That seems to describe what I was seeing exactly.  Eventually I hit one where the avatar never makes it - after 3 minutes I give up and relog.
