I asked several times in trouble ticket areas but got nothing but quotes from their proper login procedure. It's real simple. I bought a bottom shelf Gateway 2 years ago at walmart and it worked fine and still does. I got one for me and one for wife so i have a testbed to compare. I kekep them identical in configuration. On mine, since i'm 2 years behind the curve, i was able to score a decent graphic ard upgrade for cheap so i bought a EVGA GeForce GT 730 2GB GDDR5 64bit DVI/HDMI/VGA Low Profile Graphics Card 02G-P3-3733-KR and put it in. Works great with world of tanks and all kinds of **bleep** but for some reason my computer bombs out when it tries to log into zone of land in SL....anywwhere doesn't matter. Get THIS: SL ONLIVE WORKS?!. I believe, after doign all the usual tests and please don't parrot the obvious stuff i'mlooking for advanced anwers here. I've eeven got a Vista machine sitting right here on the same router tallking just fine to SL and i disabled my entire firewall temporarily jus ton the off chance that was it. Also tried changing/spoofing my mac address, this isn't my first rodeo...... SO....., i blieve that, since changing significant hardware changes the identification footprint of your computer, that their network is rejecting me. I also cleared my dns caches then tried fresh from new rebots, change dout EVERy cach, also wen tinto the hidden files in teh roaming area that hide your parameter data from the user. So anyway since i changed the signiature of my mahine, I bedlieve their network is seeing me as a prrevious customer that once hacked them or was flagged or maybe just ..whatever. But I can't get these ....... (insert plurals derrogative here) to talk to me on that level. SO then taht brings the question up why it would work on the sl Onlive? SL Onlive dosn't check for those footprints or if it does its in a dfferent way. SO what i d since Onlive doesn't support voicechat yet anyhow, I 2-box, and use the other one for voice and then use my primary real surfing. The Onlive oncept is really badass (though not new) and I havea script for it... but it doesn't run voicechat yet and i still would like to be able to log in normal so dont have to 2-box to voicechat.... otherwise frankly i wouldnt care. And that gaphics card? which increased my frame rate by 300% (like i said i was behind the curve) in world of tanks.....was only $50.00 :) Well tahts my story and this is my last shot at this. The give a **bleep** factor is dwindling but if they can't handle this crisis now whathaps in the future;. John Duke

COuldn't agree more....just: ADD VOICECHAT AND MEDIA ASAP! These are integral to the SL social life! ...JD SlGO Customer.

Me too. I'm not one of these idiots that goes otu and pays top dollar every time a graphics card comes out. I have to wait for the idiot to alpha test the card while Big Electronica takes their hard earned money to figure out how to cut down the transistor densities and make the card without generating 10,000 btus of heat and needing a graphics card that's depleting the ozone layer. So keep up the good work wih putting ALL games on the cloud and let IT do the hard compu-crushing and I'll be more than happy to sit back with my dumbass terminal and enjoy the game at max settings and min monies. THEY CAN'T MAKE MORE CLOUD-RESIDENT PROGRAMS FAST ENOUGH!!! ...JD
