Verdue

Hi Rose, I'm fairly new to SL as well and I did the same thing as you and bought several articles from the marketplace at one time. I didn't receive any of these items in my inventory, even though my purchase history showed they were delivered. Since then, I've discovered that the best way to use the Marketplace is to NOT order more than one thing at a time. Do each one individually, wait for it to be delivered - and also, most importantly, you should be logged on to the game when you are ordering, and not be status as "busy". There's some glitch, or bug with the Marketplace which causes this nondelivery to happen with multiple items in the shopping cart. Occaisionally, I still have a problem of nondelivery using the Marketplace, but not often. If you do have an issue, the best way as stated is to contact the merchant by making a notecard from your notecards folder (right click on it to make a new notecard), find the merchant's name, copy and paste your purchase from your account history area on to the notecard and poilitely explain the problem, then share the notecard with the merchant. 9 out of 10 times you will receive your item, doing this. Sometimes, you can contact merchants via IM as well, but most prefer notecards. Hope this helped!

Hi, I'm no expert at these things, and am fairly new to SL. I also had similar issues with the SL veiwer. Constantly crashing and continuous bake fails for my AV which rendered SL unplayable. It was very frustrating. I went ahead and got the Firestorm Beta 2.2 version veiwer, and also have the Phoenix/Firestorm 3.3 downloaded. The 2.2 version solved my problems and I am able to play with it (not to mention that there are many more viable options in these veiwers which you can configure to the specifics of your PC setup). I can use the Phoenix/Firestorm 3.3 veiwer as well, but it causes a bit too much lag for me to enjoy the club scene with it. Hopefully if you try out one of these veiwers, you'll be able to enjoy the game again! You could give it a try any way, and see if one of these, or a different 3rd party veiwer will work for you. Also, check your firewall and antivirus programs - try disabling them. I changed my firewall/antivirus to one that was more SL friendly because they were causing me a lot of issues even though I configfured the ports. Another thing to check for is if you use a router these can block gaming experience..and make sure that any modem or routers are configured and you have firmware updates on them. My PC is way worse than your's, and I do have to limit how much I look at large crowds of AVs at a time, or eventually I'll crash due to virtual memory loss. I read a lot of help articles and found that rendering another AV (even just a starter noob one) is on average about 2.7k prims - this is why large crowds at clubs cause problems... I'm sure others here know way more than I do, and can add helpful tips for you so you can once again enjoy the game!
