    Are you wanting  a different game?  Just go to google and search for "thread/forum games" and find one and post it in a new thread :)

    I mean if someone wanted to try to make a sentence out of five Z’s instead of kline

    I guess I'm gunna have to keep poking around and the last thing I want to do is a complete reinstall of my operating system. 🤷‍♂️

    Reinstall of SL, not the OS.

    To make it auto detect the hardware again.

    Disable the other network adapters you don’t want it to use via the network adapter control panel before you do so.

    Yes windows does see and used it before I turned that one on in BIOS. Have gotten the latest driver from ASUS. 

    The client is weird with what hardware it will auto recognize and usually relies on windows to “inform” it of new changes. Swapping a video card for example will usually make SL reset it’s configuration, swapping ram will not.

    So I imagine SL just doesn’t see the adapter because it’s technically not an important hardware change and the rest of the system wasn’t “informed” of it.

    I don’t know how to force the hardware scan SL clients do when you change key hardware, so I imagine the easiest solution would be a reinstall.

  4. It’s a really neat concept and it works ok in moderation when you have a more mature userbase, running into staff occasionally can be the same as running into anyone else except you can maybe discuss stuff more meta to the game than anything else.

    The problem is that you can’t make that the norm, you can’t have a way for your users to instantly talk to staff in a casual setting because they will become reliant on it. If you have a place full of lindens where anyone and everyone can show up just to whine about whatever, anyone and everyone is gonna show up to whine about whatever.

    I used to play a lot of Smallworlds, my spouse in fact worked for them briefly as a backend moderator. They rarely even allowed their moderation and administration teams to enter the game with “staff” accounts. It was pretty much reserved exclusively for hyping up new staff created locations and content or pre scheduled meet and greets with a select audience of mainly oldschool users. Nobody knew who the staff were off of their staff accounts, they never stuck around long when they were on staff accounts. Because they get pestered constantly with questions and they can’t just stand there all day and handle questions in game chat. They have other things to do and also want to enjoy the game themselves on their personal account. 
    LL is a bit different in that the lindens are much more public but it’s very intentional that they be a rare occurrence to find and talk to, they have their own things to do and don’t need and endless chain of game chat to respond to.

    Thanks, I deleted the Nvidia drivers, but I think the problem comes down to running two displays. It ran fine on one, but the second, whether it was running off the AMD card or the Intel graphics stuttered badly. SL on Eyefinity is pretty badass though.

    Yeah that would probably do it, multi monitor is still weird sometimes for no reason on Windows.

    I guess the best thing to check for in that case is mismatch refresh rates. Even a tiny difference like 59hz vs 60hz on each monitor can cause a gpu to crap the bed. They really do not like mixing refresh rates, sometimes it can cause resources to lock up or it’ll just cause the card to run at 100% the whole time. 
    If it’s two different monitors they may be running at a 1, .1 or even .01 hertz difference and could cause that issue. Multiple display output types can do the same, mixing HDMI, Displayport or DVI.

    Most of this is an issue with the drivers and windows, those kind of issues are almost nonexistent on Linux for some reason, and workstation equivalent Radeon pro cards with the pro drivers don’t usually have those problems.
