Darn. You Have Been Logged Out. 2 minuets in the game, for the 20th time.

[Corberus]

Okay so that wasnt the actual message I get, but feels like it should be.

I joined this game 3 weeks ago, havnt been able to play it for more than prehaps a grand total of 2 hours since creation. Whenever I log in (despite what viewers I use) I get randomly 'logged out' between 2 and 10mins in-game.

A person I have listed as a friend says that when I get logged out, it dosnt show me as offline, she dosnt know I've gone until I log back in and say "God damnit, it happened again!"

Here is some of my PC information - I'm not very techno minded, so please keep lingo to a minimal :P

lol that darn you have been logged off message does happen btw. I am sorry to hear you are having problems. Make sure that you have the most up to date Graphic Drivers and try to change all your settings to low. Let everything load and get use to moving around and once you find you are stable slowly start turning up some of your graphic setting to see what your computer can handle. Oh and you might think about getting a little more RAM if you can.

Right, I have noticed however that my PC seems to be cutting out of the internet now and then (not as frequent as the log outs) my housemate believes it is an issue with Windows 7 atm, any conformation on that?

[Keli Kyrie]

Are you using WiFi or a cable? WiFi can get a lots of interference from other users in the area and appliances.

[Cinnamon Lohner]

Its more likely that you are having a network issue causing this problem as well as the other non-related internet drops you experience.  Chances are these drops are happening on a regular basis but only applications like SL which are sensitive to packet loss and dropped connections will be most affected.  One of the common issues that have been posted here in the forums having to do with certain Netgear routers dropping the connection.  And usually reported in the 2-5 minutes after logging in timeframe.  Perhaps you can share some information about your network that might trigger a solution.

Hmmm, not 100% sure on the network setup its all my housemates doing. Serious me and computermabobs dont mix too well :\ I think its a netgear router. I shall report back soon as I find out

[Thinkerer Melville]

Router is a frequent culprit

Get logged out a lot? Check your router

I'm curious what other hardware is between your computer and your ISP.  Sounds like some El Cheapo™ device handling your network connection isn't handling that much UDP traffic correctly.  If my suspicion is correct, enabling HTTP textures might mitigate this to some degree (ie, buy you 5 or 10 minutes), but outright replacing the problem device with something with more memory (and maybe better firmware, like dd-wrt) would fix it outright.

When in doubt, try it on Linux.  Here's the easy way to dualboot.

If you're not sure, log into SL and turn on the microwave.  If you're on wifi, you'll probably get disconnected if the microwave is a restaurant model, poorly shielded (in which case, probably a bad idea to stand near it when cooking!) or between you and the router.
