I will give test comparisons on similar systems. On the I9 10 core + GTX 2080 Super, with out shadows, advanced on draw at 500m. 4k resolution it would handle 120-140 fps with moderate detailed area and perhaps 16-20 avatars. Shadows on-smoothed 50-60 but in heavier loads 35-40 fps. AMD system Ryzen 5 6 core, Rx 6700, it couldn't handle it near as close. with advanced on 50 fps shadows on 28-30. AMD Ryzen 7 12 core and RX 6800. Much better but still average 10-20 fps less the the intel/nvidia system with a lower GPU rating. I can only say i get better performace on Intel + Nvidia gpus, except for a bad driver version 3 versions ago that really caused issues with firestorm. I9 aren't going to be very used. it will balance load very well, but hardly be touched compared to other CPU's, but you are talking a big price difference for something being used like second life. Second life simply is not optimized, and uses old OPENGL factors. If the viewers and core are rewritten to utilize newer opengl functions, everyone could see a big improvement across the board. Better yet a direct X version but i don't see that happening.

Rather then being cocky about correct information that was given. Try to read and comprehend what is read. Often this need to be said to some, pay attention to DETAIL. It isn't relevant if a Desktop or a Laptop. As they both have similar processors and GPU versions both have Intel or AMD cpu's in RX / I3, I5, I7, I9 formats. As well as GPU's in GTX, RTX formats, including both RTX 2000 series, 3000 series and 4000 series. On the single thread note. The base speed of the CPU will affect performance. 2.8 versus an higher core speed will affect performance. 2.8 pushes the lower end for advanced lighting and shadows all on., and you will be under 30 FPS. I understand what the viewers use, what benefits more. GPUS are not as taxed for newer generations, the cpu offsets to the gpu. However the GPU will try to compensate more due to how the viewers work. More so for Nvidia based as newer AMD GPUs don't offset as much and won't improve things as much. Enhancing anti-alaising with the Nvidia set will look great, but when shadows are up it will greatly decreases the fPS. example. without shadows and jsut based advanced lighting i hover in the 98-140 fps range at 300m-400m optimized draw distance. WIth shadows on , dependign o nthe load of detail in areas, it is cut to 50-60 fps, in higher load 40 fps, max draw distance 30-38 fps, and the GPU is now handling a 70% load trying to offset the lack of optimization. However texture memory does play a role in the speed of loads, shadows, as well as the cache allocated and pre-stored. and as I stated, if you read it correctly before replying "but having a RTX 3090TI over a RTX 2080 won't offer a difference due to the old OPENGL used. " but the CPU will. a newer GPU can however handle certain aspects better, but its not so much the person system as it is the ISSUE WITH THE VIEWERS, and the OPENGL used. SL could run much better if aspects were revamped again (which is in the plans but will take time). Some changes have been put in to utilize GPU's more. The problem GPU's are spending more clock time correcting things then running an optimized program. You can specify in some GPU's how opengl and other aspects are handled, more by CPU or more by GPU. NOTEBOOK NVIDIA SETTIGN THAT MAY HELP: on most moderate and newer GPU's with latest drivers. there is a setting in the nvidia control panel called: OPENGL GDI COMPATIBILITY. You can try setting it to PERFORMACE rather then Prefer compatibility. In some cases this can increase frames FPS and put less strain on the notebook itself. Not only was my post correct and not lame, but you responded in a childish manner and only verified my post.

Date is irrelevant nor is creating a NEW POST needed (redundant) for posting updated information at the end of existing posts when it is searched (the 2 main post regarding it). Keep that in mind before commenting. TIP to learn something : Many follow keyword posts. There are 2 primary posts regarding the ASN alternan networks with incorrect information. I have updated it so this will clarify those searches with no need to create another additional post post in the forums with further confusion. The topic says the network is down, when in fact it is not, and moved to a new server. Now when people search and see this post they will have CORRECT information - not outdated INFORMATION. Keep forums neat and clean without redundant posts on search information. That is also stated in Forum use. Novatech type was also shared There has been a revitalization of Stargate RP areas that we ran many years ago. So therefor information in case of search, as pointed out to us by others seeing this, has now been updated.

ASN is has been back up for some time. Go to Subnova for a free gate pack. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Eternal Calm/128/146/3105 https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/DbyC-ASN-Gate-SL-Experience-Auto-Teleporter/17488069 is the experience add on for it. Popular Location names for dial: Egypt / SGC / Atlantis / Midway. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Prohibition/217/225/22 to see both ASN and Novatech stargates (novatech stargate is set for locations on our sim and Bellisseria homes and spots - ASN is grid wide. Our are experienced enhanced. NOTE the milkway Novatech texturing is custom at our location)

ASN does still work. Goto Subnova to get a gate OR request off webpage at https://www.alpha-fox.com/asn/get/. You can dial from any current version gates menu , enter walk past ramp where sign to get a gate. Novatech ones are a bit different, are grid wide or can be set to your private network between places. It is a Pegasus gate, even though I have redone mine to be a Milkway gate. Not as animated as the ASN gates that you /sgc L:OCATION NAME for animated show version or use speed dial version or just /d LOCATION for faster DHD dial. I use Novatech for Bellisseria side of Bellisseria Roleplay to take members to our private land for farming, mining, gcs combat at the pyramid, and Club Anubis. There is also an ASN gate in the Egyptian palace near the Novatech one.

I have done it for club anubis and the ship in orbit at 1000m. Not sure how but did it. Mainland unparcelled has 1 setting for day, the club parcel the galazy night one and at 1000mm all has night with the earth large in view. Played around until it worked. I applied EEP to parcels on ground level then set the (un locked) EEP at 1000m.

Due to regulations there is no real way to block a bot not listed as one as required. Users are not permitted others info. However depending on your sim, you may want to lock it to group access, or specific groups. heck even add Bellisseria Citizens as an authorized group, or other known ones. Locking land to others. Have a 1L access rate. Doubt bots will be paying linden to go somewhere. I have rarely had such an issue except that one listing data bot that identified itself as such.

Yes you can and depending on what is said, report it. Harassment, threats of any kind, is against the TOS. Linden Labs have departments that handle such cases and will review all logs. If it affected you it affected others as well.

Exploited system and options won't return and they are cracking down on other types. Creating a division in equal users is also something frowned on, especially with the changes in company ownership. Those trying to be more then what they are, another user in main aspects is generally not liked, even when they think it is themselves. Linden needs to raise users and the interest. In the forums helping people is an act of compassion and community freely done by all who wish too. In the original days of Linden Worlds Project we had such a thing and it had to be curved befiore the larger public release as Secondlife.

Lindens are good at handling it. IT is based on time ticket is submitted. IF another happened to choose it first, they will notify you and ask you to submit a new SURL of lot.

you could install firestorm on shadowtech to log in and run it, not real beefy as my desktops speaks are better, but higher then most laptops. Once you logout of shadowtech the game and desktop will go into sleep mode.

We have an event at Club Anubis at 6pm SLT so hope its fixed then as people were excited for the Reborn event in the Egyptian palace.

They posted the issue with a database failure on grid status. If you are on DON'T TELEPORT it may force you off and you won't get back on until backups and restore is done. Also the Moles have been over worked, and they all collapsed from exhaustion and can't run on their little Mole wheel to power the cloud.

Honestly Homesteads are over priced. 109.00 for 5000 prim and such agent limits is high. The current proper pricing would be 58.00 based on current LI/agent allowance. Charging 109.00 / month and the 29.99 Premium plus (comes 138.99). if you do not have a full sim on top of it. A 10,000 LI and 50 Agent count would be far more correct for base Homesteads. Even if still a bit more expensive then the value.

All my family and friends and regulars connect through my VPN . Better to keep things secure. However it can cause blocks without intent if multiple are shown in a similar ended masked IP. Which is why i have it rotate. IF you connect to a stream, shoutcast records IP's and locations. My stream I set to masking everyone and not storing data to them. It is a nice curtesy to others. I Will also relay a stream through my business server then the stream. So the stream shows the corp but not their IP. Normally services record Ips to prevent issues, however releasing people private data, recording it without being a service, and utilizing it in harmful manners is another can of worms.

With how many empty lots there are There are plenty to go around. Secondlife needs to grow again, no other meta verse comes close, no matter how hard they try. Only one (unannounced until CE show 2024 ) will be a contender, all else has failed, even in the VR world. Minus Sony's upcoming VR builder world which will oly be on PS5 VR 2 so the audience will be very small. Utilization is also a plus. I spent time transferring our RP people over to Bellisseria to Utilize what the moles spent so much time building, with now 80 people interlinked. Spending 259.00/month per sim got to be a bit much, so rather utilize the moles work so it doesn't become only unused lots.

Can set the parcel to a group. then set the landing Point just on front edge, if they try to tp in they get sent back to landing spot. However if there is sittable furniture set to anyone and not group they can cam in an sit on them. use official orb and make sure it doesnt interfere with flight altitudes. Can only force them to edge of parcel - not outside it with group set. those in your group can be set to ignore landing points. Can ban people to the parcel if popping in constantly, it will force them outside the parcel an not allow a return.

we do 3 times weekly group train/trolley rides from the far north point across all territories with stops at all major centered. Using refined detailed / highly efficient build for SLRR

As much experience as I have in gaming platforms and deployment, I am a tad old for such a position. I would love to continue helping Linden Labs expand Second Life, however its more work than I would need when I am semi-retiring early.

I have many times on owned sims and rented sims sold it to an alt selecting with objects and all remained. It defaults to 0 for that reason. The alt can then set the group or other person. However if they deed the group and set to auto return non group items and the items are on another group then it will return those items. If you own and not rent the land you just reclaim it and set it any way you want. You an also use debug to run a object change but it will take time to do the enire sim and all objects if their is a lot, and restart after. All oject owners also have to be estate level and run it for their items.

Yes it was fixed, a few of us wanted to know the reason, but i didnt wait on them , I had to recode all my items on our RP sims. Moved it to our cloud based secondary website. LEft database in place. I will say this the load of menu items to retrieve data is MUCH fast. Pings to an dreamhost sire is high. New site 16ms-22ms, dreamhsot 1750 average.

ID have to put together a test build to bench it. I use I9 10 and 16 core processors and both get solid FPs with shadows and advanced on. If I lock at 60 fps it stays at 60 fps with a good draw but i set draw back down to 312m-400m because of levels on our sims. I dont use that fire storm optimizer as it limits loads and detail my detail is set at 4.0. SL is very CPU dependent but newer high end I7 and I9's handle it easily. However we are dealing with old Opengl as an issue. GPU memory for texture availability helps for loads.

furniture one? Maybe scripts werent devided out for http references. Dreamhost fixed issue but you may have to force reload folders with files. I however moved mine to my much faster cloud service which i should have done from the get go. It accesses database through dreamhost, but i need more reliability. THeir ping is still one of the highest for hosting services.

Dreamhost has a slow response rate on average for the past 5 years, a number one complaint. an average of 1750ms is way too high. Dreamhost stated traffic is not reaching them at all. Those people affected they monitored. Moving the pHP files to another host on Clouds storage fixed it, even using the same database on dreamhost, even though it goes to a central server for the database. I had to recode so many objects in my system and have the final batch to do. It worked a over a year with no issues. The issue started last Friday at 5pm then repeated this Friday at 5pm but has not resolved. I divided the loads with the php requests on a much faster more stable service then dreamhost.

THere is over 108 reports from different SL users that have im'd me . I am very techical and and foudn the issue, the rest is up to Linden for the error happening between the Amazon AWS servers LL uses and Dreamhost. THe issue is to all website folders and speed and delay due to dreamhost security checks.
