Thanks for the link to that resource! It should give me many hours of entertainment! In the mean time, I've encountered an in-world location monitor that advised me that my AVI was presenting a significant performance impact. With some investigation, I determined that my hair (!) was requiring a 10K script support. Now, I'm a responsible Netizen, so this left me chagrined. I set up the hair prim to my best adaption and removed the scripts (via the provided HUD). Since then, knock on a wood texture, I've not had problems. Is it plausible that a +10K script load (over the ~3K load my presences presented after clean-up) could shut down a login as just the sound was coming on? But, as a Cyber denizen, I enjoy the challenges! P.S., appreciate the unexplicated reference to 'traceroute'!

Running wired on Xfinity cable. Speed test: 94.6 Mbps download, 11.8 Mbps upload, 10 ms latency. Internal network is gigabit on Cat 6 wiring. Will report back later with statistics monitor info.

Prior commentary, TL;DR. That said, I've participated in immersive RP for over 50 years, from historical recreation through various RPG worlds to virtual worlds. I have electively immersed myself into the several worlds and identified deeply with my avatars in them. In SL I have a Viking era aspect, a Victorian steampunk aspect, and recursively a cyberpunk aspect with several alternative SL presentations. When engaged in those presentations, I *AM* those entities.

I've tried all of that, to no effect. Do you know of any reliable recommendations for firewall and router settings?

That definitely seems like something I could use. I installed it, but it seems to be invisible. Do I need to start in with something like a (root) command line in a text box? (BTW, 2017 last update appears to be a bit antiquated. )

I am afraid of that! I work diligently to structure my inventory. The last thing I need is a brainless algorithm to go into my data hierarchy and parse it mindlessly. I seem to have had some success at manually restructuring (I'm able to occupy previously inaccessible locations), so I will continue to deal with this issue from the client end. It would seem that the complexity of the target location is a factor. The relatively unoccupied "Hippo Hollow" worked very smoothly. I suspect there is also some sort of interaction among the target simulators and the viewer agents (I use the most recent versions of LL and Firestorm). The stalling problem generally appears about when the location sound comes on during login. It has also happened when transferring from one location (e.g., Hippo Hollow) to another (e.g., my SL Premium home; exasperating, that!). I'm a computer geek from when I first coded Hammurabi in GBasic on a gov't mainframe (the Altair 8800 was state-of-the-art hobbiest gear). This sort of IO lock-up was addressed four decades ago! Why can't LL Servers, LL Viewers, and Firefox TNG get together and sort out this mess? (Rhetorical question - no response expected.) Sorry, just needed to vent and can't afford a new keyboard, monitor, and home-office window at the moment.

Thanks for the comprehensive debugging checklist. >> Are you logging the alts into the same region as the problem avi? Yes >> Have you tried logging in the problem avi to another region? Yes. Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Caledon Oxbridge is a bit more stable. Will try Hippo Hollow, if only for the whimsy of the name. I note that my home region is running a newer simulator version than Caledon Oxbridge. >> Second Life: The region you have entered is running a different simulator version. >> Current simulator: Second Life RC Magnum 19.02.11.524360 >> Previous simulator: Second Life Server 19.01.25.523656 I am very diligent in cleaning up notifications; don't think that is where the problem lies. I have built hierarchical data structures since before Windows (3.1). My inventory is highly structured, with five layers or more of folders, to permit easy location of specific items. For example, Clothing > Tops > {Classic|Mesh} > Vendor > Item Name > Item Instance. I've deleted 1K items this morning and will be cleaning up my Clothing folder the rest of the day, I expect.

That sounds like a Catch-22 -- one can't log in because of a flat inventory and one can't deal with the inventory until logged in. 😕 Do you know of any way to perform inventory management other than through a viewer? What do you expect LL will do to "check / correct the 'flat inventory' problem"? BTW, I do have this problem with both LL viewer and Firestorm and, yes, it does not happen for alts with smaller (not necessarily more structured) inventories. The problem alt has an inventory of ~17K items.
