Going to try that now. Just done it and restarted PC. Will let you know. Thank you ☺️

Oh aye, it's on 1024 now and 10% 10%. That didn't seem to affect anything but obviously having it at 4gb was silly, I was just trying everything at that point but with these recent disk checks and repairs it feels a bit better

I did DISM and SFC to and it said it found an issues and it's solved it but still getting the terrible freezes when flying. I really really appreciate everyone's help but I think I'll just log in to sing then if I want to explore I'll need to find another game as this is seeming impossible to fix. EDIT: Since doing the SFC and DISM it does actually feel like it's lessened the problem. It's still there when I fly over very very object heavy areas but for now it actually seems to have helped a bit. Will continue my whining shortly if anything changes LOL, thanks for being patient with me.

You don't know how much I appreciate everyone's input. I've read through them and will be not giving up at tackling this. I am almost certain its an asset loading issue as it definitely only happens as new objects or land pop into view. You're all great, thanks so much!

Hmm rolling back to an older GPU Driver, I haven't tried that yet. I always presumed having the newest driver was the logical thing to do and I'm worried if it'd mess up my performance on other games but do you think it's worth a shot and if so how far would you roll back?

Yeah and although I have my mesh body on I am only 40ish scripts. The HUDS you see I need to sail, Ban Line HUD is important because people like to throw them up everywhere and the others are for my boat. Even on my 1 script test avi I still get the freezes. Nothing on my PC is screaming at me, I have a good internet connection but FS still freezes and gives me those "not responding" moments still for a few seconds at a time. It's so weird, it seems to happen on every viewer to, some less than others.

So I disabled the Diagnostic Policy Service and although it seems to have helped a little bit I'm still getting the freezing and stuttering. I've tried just about every prefrences combo people have told me about and all the tips and tricks but this is how it looks to me while I'm sailing, just recorded it now. My Disk is at 0% and goes up to 40%+ occasionally, ram never goes over 54% and CPU is always like 15-35% so I really don't know what is causing this issue but I'm starting to give up hope. It seems as though it's happening as new land and objects are loading in so it's a choice between higher DD with less popping in but lower FPS or lower DD with more popping in and higher fps. I don't feel like I can win. Here is the clip, turn sound of as their is mic static and my daughter laughing at TikTok in the background and coughing really loudly on Discord because she didn't know I was recording haha https://streamable.com/w2tvzc

VERY interesting. Thank you for this input and I'll be looking into this. We appreciate your feedback 👍

Brilliant, I'll give that a go. Thank you Kathrine

I agree and since I got my scripts down to 10-15 the sim crossing are way way better, it's just this freezing issue as stuff is loading in. Thanks for your help Odaks, I appreciate it.

Thank you to those who gave genuine advice rather than just saying "you expect it to run smooth on ultra trololol" I'll keep tinkering. Cheers

Also I'm pretty sure it says in the viewer that it'll be capped accordingly if it exceeds what is available, flying with under 200 draw distance makes seeing airport runways almost impossible till you're on top of them and the LOD, yeah fair enough I could lower that. But the rest of what you said is not only unhelpful but wrong. Good day.

Sorry I wasn't aware I had to have SOME sort of level of PC expertise to ask questions here. Offer advice or don't respond with your sarcastic comments.

Thank you very much, I will look into that!

Thank you so much for this advice, I'll take all of that into account. I restarted my router and got back to 0.1-0.3% packet loss. I also just straight up disabled my AV, I used the built in windows ones and I've turned them all off but instead I'll re-enable them and whitelist them. Thank You!

Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear headphones and are called David.

I'll give that a try, thanks again david!

I tried Alchemy I think, and Singularity to but they just lacked the features of Firestorm. I might have to use FS for performing and stuff and use another viewer just when I go traveling. Thanks so much for the advice mate!

Yes you're right, some airports are built like that, right on the edge of the sim and they are definitely the hardest to land at. I recently got my scripts down to like 10 max while flying by using a basic avi and only the huds I need for flying or GTFO and while it's helped a tonne with not getting ejected from my plane it doesn't seem to have helped the freezing, but the sim crossing yes, it's helped for sure. Ah, is it not? I'm sort of aware how sim crossings work but not so much about packet loss, I'm guessing it's lost or dropped information. Do you think it's to do with my max bandwidth being set to 8mb? I see some people say not to set it higher than 1500 and others say to crank it up so I'm just trying both options. I'll reboot the router. Yeah I usually use around 256 Draw Distance and in regards to the ultra settings I've actually noticed myself that when I have them set lower it mostly actually lowers my fps. I set it to ultra on the slider and then tweaked it below turning off particles, ambient occlusion, shadows and so on as I know they're very performance heavy. Thanks so much for the quick reply Odaks, I'll focus on getting the packet loss down firstly.

Hello there SL Forums! (My first post here), When I'm not performing on the grid my absolute favorite thing to do is travel. Me and my partner Miss Mei do grid drives, sailing routes and GTFO Flying but 8/10 times we engage in such activities something will happen and we'll just abandon the idea before we even make it to the destination. Sometimes it's ban lines and orbs (I won't even get started on that) but other times it's the fact that I get regular 5-10 second freezes and by the time it unfreezes whatever vehicle we were in is usually upside down. I've spent hours and hours and hours tweaking settings and I've just about been through EVERY single option in the viewer. I've almost given up and accepted that SL is for standing still, in one place and talking. Traveling and changing sims regularly just doesn't seem to be something SL likes you to do but i'm here to call all tech people for one last effort to see if we can decipher why this happens. I could deal with the 10-15fps of flying over mainland if it stayed at 10-15fps so I have constant control of the plane but then it straight up just freezes and I am a passenger at that point. I'll log in, start flying slowly and post that log in here I see you all telling others to post from the help menu. If we could get this fixed or at least minimize it I would be flying all the time as there is so much area TO fly in. Anyway, enough of my rambling, I'll post a video to show exactly what is happening.
