Question

Posted

Hello All !!
I've started playing two days ago, all seems plays fine but since yesterday i can't teleport to other region cause it crash and after while gone B/n with IM chat popup and the SL launcher close byself. Also major of other players are white cloudy form at lows quality. Chats fully works and when re-log most of the times I respawn where I've choosed to be teleported
Today i've read lots here about that problem but i really can't solve it.. I'm cabled from desktop (i5 7500 gtx 1060) to a 4G router (15-25mbps) First tried with last firestorm and an older 6.6v, detach all  clothes, with and without antivir and win10 firewall. Then I've notice that by a VPN it's works. Probably something about my IP or maybe some ports to open I don't know. Sadly i'm struggling and want to play my SL ,,
BIG THX in advance who can suggest me other ideas

Welcome to SL. It's always hard to diagnose problems like yours from a distance, because neither of us knows what might be important to ask.  From your description, though, it sounds like you have a flaky Internet connection. That white cloudy appearance you are seeing is what always happens as the data about an avatar's appearance is being loaded by the region's servers. Usually, it takes only a few seconds to resolve.  It's most obvious when you are first logging in, though, because your viewer and the servers have loads of other information to exchange then. Unfortunately, if you have a slow connection or not a lot of GPU memory, you could be a cloud for ages.

I'm glad that you are using a cabled connection, because wifi can sometimes make it even worse. You might consider replacing that router, though. Check also to see how much memory your GTX 1060 card has too.  It's an older card, but it should be fine for SL if you have at least 8 MB of memory on it.  More is better, especially with some of the recent changes in the way SL is handling images.  My GTX 1070 has 16 MB on it. 

Beyond those hardware suggestions, you can get some improvements by lowering your draw distance to 128m or less, disabling shadows, minimizing the number of non-imposter avatars, and doing other tweaks in Preferences to reduce the work load on your machine.
