Leah Jhamin Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Hi. I'm having serious issues with Firestorm at the moment and I'm not quite sure why! For starters, I never have issues with loading, updates or anything involving signing in, so you can imagine my level of frustration at the moment. Now, everything has been running smoothly with the current updated. Then today, a major case of lagging began to kick in, and suddenly Firestorm just stopped working all together. I signed back in only to see the orange poof that appears during rezz...and nothing else. The landscape shows up, but not completely. And now, as of this very moment, I'm not able to sign in at all! I did manage to check the Firestorm group chat and quickly noticed that other people were complaining about performance issues as well. Unfortunately, my viewer refuses to load, so I can't access the group chat to ask what the devil is going on with the viewer! As we speak, I'm overly convinced that Firestorm is broken! There are no cache issues on my end. I uninstalled, and then installed again. I even tp'd to a sandbox to ensure login, but no dice. Nothing is working, and I have no clue as to what to do! I'm literally locked out of Firestorm!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried to log in with the SL viewer to see whether that works? If FS is having issues and there are several people having them, I'm sure they'll be fixed soon. You could try an older version meanwhile (assuming the SL viewer works, if not, it might not be the viewer itself). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you did the uninstall of Firestorm, did you follow the steps on fs_clean_install [Phoenix Firestorm Project - Wiki] (firestormviewer.org) to ensure you were doing a full clean uninstall/install? Also, have you tried downloading, installing and trying the LL viewer, for confirmation as to whether it's a Firestorm issue or perhaps a connection issue?

So, it is something about your Firestorm install and/or your computer and/or your connection. Verify your re-install was a clean install, via the link that Moira gave. Do a reboot of your router, modem, and computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez, I haven't had that viewer in years lol. But I probably should give it a try. You know, I was thinking the same thing regarding them fixing the viewer. I sure hope it's soon. And I deleted the recent version that was out shortly after installing of the newer version. I now regret this! Thanks for your reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said -- if it were the viewer in general, then there would be tons of posts here in the forums and in the Firestorm iwnorld group -- but there is not. So something has gone wrong with either your Firestorm install or your account (have you tried a different account) or your connection. BTW - just because your connection is fine for everything else on the internet, it doesn't mean your SL connection is fine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you installed the Firestorm update and it was working fine and is suddenly not then it isn't a Firestorm issue unless you have changed a setting, otherwise look for a windows update, graphic card update, LL server issues or any other thing aside from Firestorm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jax Leeder Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Maybe it suddenly froze, lagged etc because you opened a group to view notices and suffered from the LL "feature" of notices not being dropped after 14 days - if you open particularly active groups it will have to load every notice sent for about a month and that will freeze the client for several seconds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drake1 Nightfire Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Hmm, from completely broken to fixed in 3 hours... Sounds like they may have been doing work on the internet lines somewhere between you and Linden Labs servers.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The translation's pretty much spot on. It looks like they broadcasted this this in the 80s in some medieval theme park, probably the Land van Ooit ('Land of Sometime). Here's another Dutch song. One that makes a little bit more sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
