Pol Shinn

Finally I came to the following conclusion: I can't get SL working no matter what...After I tried everything I decided to give up because there's no way I can make my AV stop crashing. Lol, Linden Labs, if you hear me, do something Anyways, Topic Closed.

I found out that SL crashes only when I open up my inventory and I let it fetch the items. I could stay on it more than 10 mins. before opening up the inventory. It crashed at 10,824 loaded items... It has nothing to do with my antivirus... I wonder what I could try next...

Hi. I tried the third-pary Radegast viewer, but it crashes at startup. Other things I tried on viewer 1.23 were to enable ''Full Session Login'' and disable ''Loop Playback'' from Advanced menu. It still crashes unfortunately... I tried lots of things, but nothing seems to make my avatar work. I think I tried like all third-party viewers, but they all crash. I even checked some firewall settings, but SL is allowed, of course, otherwise, I couldn't have ever been able to connect. The last thing I could try would be to close my antivirus (Avast! antivirus)...I'll try it right now and tell you if it works or not.

Guys, I tried clearing all the cache in App Data, too, but SL still crashes... I found out that it crashes even if I make manny clicks for opening or closing windows... I don't have any ideas, but it's not my system, this happens on my laptop too.

I think I found out what the problem is: I dumped my inventory, character, rebaked and foreced params to default, which turned me into a cloud. After seeing that I don't crash, I decided to click on Recent Items in my inventory so it could load. SL crashes again, at 10k loaded items and I think it did the same the other times. I am not yet sure if SL will crash or not if I don't open my inventory, but even if this would solve the problem, I can't use my avatar without opening my inventory, as I have lots of important things there. I once tried to empty my trash too, but SL will still crash... All I can do now is experiment various advanced options and see if I can make it work...

Hi! Yes, my drivers are up to date, but I will try to deatch everything and see if it works. BTW: Is there any ''no crash'' script that I could get or something? I'm sure there must be something like that to help me...

I remembered that my avatar was working perfectly last summer and at the end of it I left it idle and I tried to play with it again like last month, when it wasn't working... That's what I remember. Do you think Linden Labs could ''unlock'' my avatar or something if I tell them I had RL problems and I didn't have time to log in? It's not faire for them to block your avatar....

I also noticed that SL Viewer 1.23 tells me, with this performant GTX 460 graphics card, that my system doesn't meet the minimum system requirements and that I might experience poor performance if I continue using SL. They say that they can't provide tehnical suport for my system. Damn, I have a dual core procesor and a GTX 460 + good network card, though it's not good for their specs. SL, as far as I remember, used too work good with GTX 460, but could my avatar crash because I left him too much time without using? I think I forgot him for some months, or maybe for an year? I don't know if it is because of this.

BTW: Could any setting from the advanced menu (Ctrl+Alt+D) make my avatar crash, like the ones from the Character menu or something? I will try to change something over there too - If I remember good, there's somewhere in that menu for debbuging your character...

I tried everyone's tips, but I can't make my avatar stop crashing... I also tried clearing all caches and getting all the graphics to low. I even changed my SL viewer skin, lol ) If I think good, there might be a known reason for me that makes SL crash, but dunno why on Pol Shinn avatar only : I used to have an nVidia EN GTS 8600 graphics card, on which SL worked perfectly with my avatar. Now I have a way better graphics card, that SL never recognises on startup, maybe because it's a very new one, not tested by SL yet, called GIGABYTE GTX 460, one of the best graphics card. However, only SL Viewer 2 won't recognise it... Could SL Viewer 2 crash before startup and SL Viewer 1.23 crash during gameplay because of this new and better graphics card? It's most probably impossible, but can it be a bug or something? I also tried all sorts of options like running SL full screen, or in all compatibillity modes, 256k colors and others...

I tried taking off every hud, AO and most of the prims atached to me, but it still crashes... I don't think the crash is because of some script, but there are things I can't see atached on me but they are there - I can't deatch them without my inventory fully loaded, which seems to be the crash reason, as the Viewer 1.23 stops working at like 10k items...

Unfortunatelly, I can't log in with Viewer 2 in Basic mode, just like in Advanced mode.

I tried Phoenix Viewer and it crashes before login just like Viewer 2. What are other third party viewers that could work?

Hi. I have a big issue with Second Life. Whenever I log in with my old avatar, Pol Shinn, SL Viewer 1.23 crashes after 1 minute (less or more) of gameplay. Also, with the new viewer 2, Second Life crashes before even finishing loading. This issue also happens with Pol Shinn avatar on other systems. My avatar doesn't have many objects or script atached to it, so this shouldn't be the reason it crashes. I also tried playing with the lowest settings possible and it still crashes. The place I am situated in when the crashes occour is http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Menora/72/113/42 but it has nothing to do with them, as they happen anywhere. Please someone help me fix my avatar, I don't want to lose all the important things I have. Thanks, Paul
