  1. Thanks for reply. I was trying to understand the workings between pipes and unacked data. In continuing to service the lower end of PCs and the introduction of Second Life mobile viewer it seems second life rendering has degraded or just the limits of UDP. Sort of backlog data waiting to enter. So was wondering if pipes or data allocation has changed. Along with the allocation of Estates on CPUs and how traffic is allocated.
  2. Does Second life use Pipes in it's network (Servers) to communicate? If it does what type of Pipes are used how can this effect communication (data)and has this changed recently? Thanks
  3. Have read some of those open threads. None seem to address the issues nor answer what this means to music in Second Life.
  4. In looking at this new and upcoming presence in SL one wonders how this will effect all the music that is performed in Second life. From DJ playing music to live performances of songs along with tribute bands etc. Will Linden start looking at whether these people will need to have a performance license? Will this "partnership" start to restrict how music is presented in Second life? For those who receive $L for presenting music in SL does this create issues? I have heard that issues with music occurred in IMVU . One has to purchase music to listen to that music. So will streaming music be shut down.? Will people be willing to pay for membership and land fees etc. on top of having to pay for all the music? Lets see how this pans out for Linden and for Second life as a virtual world.
  5. Hello thanks for information. To answer some of your questions. My packet loss is almost always 0%. My frame rate varies of course depending on where I am but would say in most calm areas I run on average 30 - 40 fps at ~ 200 m draw. Sim ping also varies 85 - 120 on average. I am hard wired to router my speed test from east coast to Oregon (Portland) runs 91 ms ping 600 Mbps download 88 ms ping upload 23 Mbps. What I am noticing is just standing in one area the unacknowledged data goes from 0 to sometimes 1200- 1500. What I am wondering has the way the servers are setup in talking to the client changed as to how the pipes are used? I am not experiencing packet loss that has been 99.5% of the time 0. Sometime back the issue of avatar rendering was a problem I think Linden supposedly moved this to server side. Recently many have noticed that the old "orange cloud" has returned where it is all that one sees for sometime until avatar appears. Also I was wondering how much difference there is between SL viewer and Firestorm. Firestorm uses a Cache system to supposedly help not sure if SL viewer has cache. One would think that storing data in cache would help with the issue. Does it? Thanks again for helping. I am getting a better understanding but not sure if SL is getting worse or my computer is issue or something else. I am pretty sure its not my network.It's a rendering problem which involves the viewer "talking" with the server through "pipes" over network and it seems that unacknowledged data is varying a lot along with "orange clouds" .🥺
  6. When moving around different places in SL from single estate sims vs. large joined estate sims I look at Total Unacked data statistics occasionally using FS viewer. From what I read on this it reflects: The size of the reliable packet data sitting on the server waiting to be acknowledged. A large number may indicate a thin pipe or other possible problems between the viewer and the simulator. What I would like to understand is this on Viewer side or Server side if one experiences LARGE (>1000Kb or more) Unacked? What is meaning of thin pipe? Does this occur because of ones type of computer used and/or internet settings? The reason I am asking this is I have noticed what seems like slower rendering all over Second life. So is it me ? or are the servers just not handing off (waiting to be acknowledged) ? Has the pipe line thinned ? Is there a differences between SL VIewer and Firestorm viewer as it relates to Unacknowledged data? Any Information on this would be appreciated. 🙂
  7. With the news coming out of the banking industry in California one wonders: Where does LL keep their capital income? Let us hope that it wasn't invested in Silicon Valley Bank 😉 SVB was a key player in Tech and Venture capital markets. This maybe just the start of risky ventures that have taken place over the years and now the collapse has begun. Will there be more banks to feel this impact? Let us hope the Linden Research has been a better player in the market.😁
  8. Okay I wrote this as sort of a tongue in cheek 😋 because,as I see from replies, people are seeing more CLOUDS ( color really doesn't matter ). So I believe something has changed. As for the trade off for better something not sure. I think also that more "scanning" is being done. Linden research I imagine fights with all sorts of hacking and Firestorm is now checking ones connection when one seeks info on their Wiki. I have no knowledge of SL's Main viewer I have never used it after the famed SL 2.0 roll out way back when. Network traffic is getting larger and caches are as well. Has the use of cache or how it's used been changed? Is the connection be throttled? All I know is the virtual world changes and I guess we will change with it. Thanks all for input am glad it's not my imagination running wild again.😉😂
  9. Okay it seems that orange clouds are again on the rise. Why we are yet to determine. This was supposedly solved by placing the avatar rezzing on the server side long ago. So now that these orange blobs seem to be on the rise I suggest Linden gives us a heads up as to WHO is that orange cloud appearing before us. ( for those who do not use names above heads 😉). I would ask Linden to designate PINK clouds for female designate and BLUE for male designate. For the neutrals or other not desiring gender ORANGE can be still be used. Lets get these clouds designated. 😁
  10. As some know Elon Musk has asked about Bots/Fake accounts for Twitter. One wonders why should this matter. One might suppose it indicates the health of a business or maybe in twitter's case the effects these may have on it's content and platform. As one wanders about Second life, which by the way is the largest area in multi-verse, one notices "avatars" just standing around in various poses. Also when one logs in, as everyone needs to do assuming one logs out, you see the statistics of how many are "in-world". How many are really "in-world"? Are there ones who never log out? ( of course except for the dreaded sim restarts). But then there are those who will just be sent to another place to stand. Are there "avatars" created for just that purpose? Spawned every so often to keep the count of those "in-world" a healthy level? So when Elon questions Twitter what is the purpose? Twitter states that they are only about 5 % of those accounts. Really? Will the real data come forth? So what is the "real" in-world count for Second Life and the percentage of these "zombies"? Does it matter to the business? Question that maybe Elon may get. Will the statistics of Second Life ever appear again? 🤷‍♂️
  11. Thanks Coffee appreciate your input. I also hope that as the word "metaverse" starts spreading that maybe LL will start to tinkering. But they have Rosedale to bounce off of to maybe help 😉 Not sure if micro would be applicable but interesting. Lets hope that this would be the next great project that LL will take on. 👍
  12. Ok as I thought BUT code could be written so that knowing where the ONE sim is in the region code then a sim (chunk) could be sized (512 X 256) so that it exists as one region within the same location. One wonders if the massive engineering project would take as much time as was spent on Sansar? Opensimulator code is complex but I believe there are engineers that could accomplish the task. 👍
  13. Ok here's an idea for Linden. When two private estate sims are joined how about eliminating the sim boundary? Now I say two sims because the idea of joining more becomes i think a challenge though still possible.In effect this would allow more freedom in use of the sims. As for prims I suppose the two regions (known as VAR) could consolidate. So is this possible? If not why not? Thanks
  14. I can not seem to find this legacy search. Reading the link doesn't really tell much. I assume that the search screen one uses now is the newest features that we now have since last update. I still think the drop down is useless item that needs to be done away with. 👍😉
  15. The homestead prim limit was raised from 3,500 to 5,000 prims not too long ago. Very unlikely it will be raised again any time soon. Yes but if I remember correctly Full sims were raised from 15,000 to 20,000 also. Then LL allowed those regions to buy EXTRA 10,000 prims. So my point is why don't they allow Homestead users to do the same???
