  1. HI I wonder if anyonecan help. I have been using SL for years. I have had my fair share of freezes crashes etc but now I have a serious problem. SL just disconnects after a randpm period with no warning one minute you are in SL the next the sl viewer is not running and you have to start it again. This has been happening for a while now but only occasionally but now it is much more frequuent. It also seem worse in busy places in quiet places I can stay logged in for a long tme. I have changed nothing on my pc/router as far as I know but right now SL is becoming unuseable. Any help gratefully recieved
  2. Hi I guess just from the figures we can see that my video card is not that great. But can it explain why I have been in a club with 50 people and still many of them are just silver and only for a few I can see faces and cloths I know it takes a few minutes for sl people to rez but this is ridiculous as i said it never used to be like this thats for sure. You owuld think that after a while people would show details i can see all the club just not faces and cloths. Is there anyway to force an avatar to show details? At least then I could take my partner to a club and see her .
  3. Hi thanks to all for your replies @ Verdue Thanks for the tip on changing viewer that as where I was going to go if I couldn't get any further at least it would check a variable. @ Peggy Paperdoll the hint on band width was really useful I had it set way too low so the spike when you go somewhere was cut off so people took a long time to appear that's made a difference. I have plugged and unplugged routers & modems quite a few times over the past 6 months and that has not made a difference. I have my draw and graphics options set as low as I can but as I said even if I change them the problem does not get better or worse really. The bit on deciphering video cards will be useful for the future @Thinkerer Thanks for the useful collection of hints I had been down that route already but the tracert stuff shows essentially what you see in SIM ping @ Jenni Darkwatch I can not think my PC is that awful, SL recommends 2 GHz Vista 32 bit which is what I have and min 512MB memory and I have 2 Gig. The video card is not up to much I will admit Peggys GTS 250 looks a good one to buy. But I can not really think SL has designed SL only to work in a good way on top notch computers otherwise few people would play it. Any way after putting up my bandwidth things were OK I got 10fps not great but OK with only 1 person refusing to rez so my system could do that OK but later it just dropped away to 3-4 fps I went somewhere and came back and had lots of silver people again. Jenni you mentioned reducing the number of AVIs to rez/Bake how do you do that_ Is there anyway of making an avi/bake so that they are not a silver phantom that would be a useful thing to know. Although my download speed in Germany is quite hi I checked it form a server in san francisco and it was quite a bit slower maybe not surprisingly but I would have thought it would be the same problem for everyone this side of the Atlantic. But oddest thing like I said in my OP I never used to have this problem with silver people and low frame rates it is only of the past 6 months with the same PC and ISP which is why I was wondering if SL has been playing about and if anyone particularly in Europe has this problem. Thanks for your replies Sparkle
  4. Can any one offer any advice on this, for about 6 months SL has been getting worse until it is almost unusable. When I go to a club the frame rate i get is between 2-3 and everything is jerky. The building rezzes OK but the people are just grey shapes no features or cloths and slowly rezz if at all, sometimes people stay grey shapes as long as I am in the club. I live in Germany but have a fast cable net connection 25 Mbit rock solid. I get a speed of 10 Mbit even if I use a server in NYC. In a club the ping time is 200 ms and the band width 50-150kbps but people just do not rez they stay grey. I have the latest SL viewer, I have cle\ared the cache I have tried the lowest video setting in preferences and have a low draw distances 128m but to be honest it doesn't seen to make what I have these set at the frame rate is still poor and people still grey. I do not think my PC is too bad it certainly isn't an aged thing and the video card is a Geforce Nvidia 250. The rating by windows for the system is 3.7 which should be OK. Details of PC are here CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ (2599.97 MHz) Memory: 2047 MB OS Version: Microsoft Windows Vista 32-bit (Build 6000) Graphics Card Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation Graphics Card: GeForce 210/PCI/SSE2/3DNOW! Windows Graphics Driver Version: 8.17.0012.8562 OpenGL Version: 3.3.0 libcurl Version: libcurl/7.21.1 OpenSSL/0.9.8q zlib/1.2.5 c-ares/1.7.1 J2C Decoder Version: KDU v6.4.1 Audio Driver Version: FMOD version 3.750000 Qt Webkit Version: 4.7.1 (version number hard-coded) SL did not used to be like this for me I would swear it is getting worse. Does anyone else have this problem or does anyone know how to cure it. Its driving me nuts and to be honest what was a great thing is becoming unusable. Thanks In advance for help and advice
  5. Thanks for the suggestions but I think the key point is this for the past 18 months SL has been pretty good. I used to go to a busy club and in a few minutes every one has rezzed no grey dancing nudes. Then all off a sudden it doesn't work anymore some people in a club never rezz they are just grey dancing nudes .Same PC no changes, PC is running as it came out of the box so if its 32 bits then i assume it must be set for that. Grafics card works ok with video intensive games and connection speed is 25kbps and steady. About the only change has been the auto updating of the SL viewer which seems to happen automatically. I put the SL video quality to low and it didn't make much diference and fiddled around with the draw distance both put the fame rate up a little but not much but still the grey figures remain. Thats why I was asking if anyone knew any non pc based reasons why this has suddenly started happening or if SL has suddenly got worse
  6. PS it is a wired connection. I am usually on line at 10pm CET which is 3 pm SLT not tried at other times
  7. I am not sure if this is the right place but I'll give it a go. Is it just me or has SL got a lot worse over the past month. Now when ever I go to a busy club everyone is a dancing grey shape some people rez but some never do no matter how long I wait. It isn't any specific place it seems to be at busy places. I know that you used to have to wait a few mins for people to rez but is seems to have got out of hand just of late. Pity cos SL has been pretty good for quite a while now but going down hill. Any one any tips on how to fix this cleared cache but no luck I have a rock solid 25mbit connection. Lag meter always seems to say client frame rate below 10 possible cause images loading (tell me something I don't know). I am using the latest SL viewer via their regular update feature. Bandwidth is about 130kbps ping is about 150.
