So the gray box is the bouncing box(?) of a former passenger - and we have evidence for the ghost in the machine! @Whirly Fizzle, it is remarkable, you remember all those old bugs and problems. Thank you for your great insights and contributions.

A work around would be to make a timer based restart of the video with a script. // pseudo code integer bPlaying; float nVideoLength ; // video length in seconds void Play() { bPlaying= TRUE; llSetTimerEvent( nVideoLength ); } void Stop() { llSetTimerEvent( 0 ); bPlaying= FALSE; } timer() { if (bPlaying) { Play(); } else { Stop(); } }

IMHO. I find this programming mindset deeply troubling. The viewer should handle everything correct - be it 2 avatars or 40, 80, 100. This is clearly a bug that I'm sure will be fixed in the near future.

But you did not - and you should not have to - it was nearly never a a problem before, but now annoying. So something has changed - either server or viewer handling - or I suspect combination of the two. And it is a big deal, when like hosting event with 70+ avatars, where people come and go all the time - and it is a big deal for majority of users in 2022, who expect things working without such glitches. And the the problem more clearly, when visiting busy sites in the busy hours of SL. For example around 12 PM GMT+1 (3AM SLT) no problems in general, why I suspect, it is server side and how updates are handled by viewers. On connection: 100 Mbps fiber, no difference if cabled or using WiFi 6.0.

I see many deform avatars not rezzed during the whole of your video. For example end of video 2:10, the girl getting huged, the girl standing in front of them with, the girl near center of video at the bar. We are not talking orange/cloud avatars, but avatars not being rezzed completly.

OK, tested with Linden Lab Viewer v6.6.4.575022 latest release and CoolVLViewer-1.30.0, default settings in both viewers, date 2022-09-18, around 1 PM SLT. TP into in the busy adult jazz club, standing idle and waiting for avatars around to rezz. Around 77 ppl in busy adult jazz club, 3:01 minutes for load of avatars, many still deform, still deform after 15 minutes. Same result as with latest Firestorm release v6.6.3.67470. Only few seconds difference on load time of avatars in the different viewers. * System info: i7-10700K 3.80 GHz, 32 GB RAM - GeForce RTX 3070 8 GB - Windows 10 64-bit (Build 19044.2006)

I will try your Cool VL Viewer and the official LL viewer and give feedback on above topic.

It also occurred with previous version of Firestorm. Entering busy event I noticed more severe, if 40+ avatars around in busy clubs like a popular adult jazz club, same observations in other busy clubs, typical worse if 40+ avatars. To reduce the problem I did as follows, set graphic to default, draw distance to 8 meter, when all avatars are rezzed around you at this distance, increase to 16 meters, repeat wait, increase to 32 meters - repeat depending on size of club and then set to your normal preferred graphic setting, in my case high, 128 meters, ALM on. Some will still appear as deform avatar, but will eventual rezz after several minutes, worst case 25-30 minutes! If you ask the person, who appears deform, to use Refresh Attachments and Rebake Textures, they will appear normal quicker. Be first or among first at busy event Assisting in a very popular club with a swimming pool party, where 70-80 avatars are visiting in busy hours, I observed: If i came early - as first or only few staff members around, all visitors rezzed normally as they entered party, also when 40+, 70+, 80+. If you leave, you have the ´problem as described above. To me, it looks like problems in the viewer code xor server side, where updates not handled correct.

Yes, observing same - orange clouds more and longer than before, where it can take several minutes and in extreme cases like described by Aishagan.

Hi Beq, Does it default to 60 FPS, if VSynch rate of monitor not recognized? My 2K 165 Hz monitor works correct regarding VSynch with other programs, but Firestorm craps it to 60 FPS, if I use Preferences->Rendering->Limit Framerate to 120 FPS. As you, I have two monitors connected, the other one older full HD 120 Hz, which add to the complexity of bug hunt. Else thanks to you and all the people working on the Firestorm update, it fast, reliable, responsive compared to earlier versions and without the above Limit Framerate, I get crazy wild high FPS at home with high/ultra graphics, ALM on. Other places stable fast FPS in even busy clubs, where earlier versions of Firestorm crawled down to annoying extreme low FPS.

Thanks for info, Flickr also an option for sharing 360 photos and has a huge base of SL users, groups

According to financesonline there are 2.69 billion video game players in the world. Even with let us say 30% doppelgängers it is a staggering number. Some other sources (DFC, statista) estimate the number to be 3.1 - 3.4 billion. Clearly this can only be estimates.

I find that article hard to take serious, it is like the old academic saying: There are numbers, lies and statistics! [trustworthiness highest on left] Numbers of users on the different game platforms indicate potential target audience is much higher. EA Games: 500 million Epic: 194 million Steam: 120 million Sony Playstation: 114 million Micosoft XBox: 100 million Nitendo: 100 million Some numbers from single games where Minecraft has a staggering 738 million users and Microsoft Solitaire (still!) has 400 millions users. In top it is the free games like Battlegrounds, Candy Crush on social platforms topping. While the big games like Grand Theft Auto V, APEX Legends has 100-120 million users.

You laptop is more than good enough to run SL with high graphic quality and 256 meters with excellent FPS. Besides the things suggested, also do maintenance of your computer regularly like every month that is clean caches both viewer cache and the OS caches, run Optimize Drives. Windows 10 only does a trim if SSD, so do not worry about wearing the SSD out. Be sure to have Firestorm added in NVidea Control Panel. Manage 3D settings->Program Settings. Your GPU 2070 should be selected in OpenGL rendering GPU.

Yes, Chrome uses a lot of resources even with only with a single tab open on say www.google.com and where you as user do nothing. It is caused by the protecting "sandboxing" of running processes in Chrome. You see this as multiple running processes in the task manager. Inspired by the very efficient Microsoft solution of handling heap in multiple processes, Google implemented it adapted to Chrome with now less memory usage compared to earlier versions of Chrome. Alternative browsers like Firefox, Edge use less memory, I personally use Firefox and very seldom have any problems running Firestorm and Firefox at same time, even with typical heavy internet usage in Firefox like watching high definition videos on youtube etc., having several web sites open like Flickr, blogs, news and SL Forums. It is surprising though you experience such major drop in FPS. Could it be a faulty extension in Chrome?

You all get it wrong; Linden Lab will sell Musk the franchise: “Second Mars Life”. ... Lag[tm] included.

Always - so lucky I can run everything in 2K Ultra graphics and all maxed out except for normally busy night clubs with 40+ ppl . To me SL lighting and shadows important and part of my joy experiencing SL.
