  1. The advice appears to be wrong. I have this. Removing everything does not cure it. Nor does resetting to Ruth, the default avatar. I am researching further, but what is stated here does NOT solve it for me.
  2. As I'm sure you all know, the key to minimising sim crossing crashes is situational awareness. Be absolutely sure where sim boundaries, and even more critically, sim corners are, at all times. Avoid corners like the plague. Before starting a turn, or other manoeuvre, be sure you can complete it before any sim boundary. Slow down for the actual crossing, cross travelling straight and level, and dont try to manoeuvre until you are safely over. Dont cross at a very shallow angle, and of course, never travel along a sim boundary. Ok..situational awareness. But how? Firestorm is the answer. The firestorm minimap has a "show" option (right click it). Choose property lines and map textures. Yaay! There are the sim boundaries! The regular big squares. Keep minimap open at all times. I have it bottom left, one quarter screen height. Zoom it with the mouse wheel to show you about half way into nearby sims. Now watch it like a hawk, plan ahead, how you will tackle the next crossing. And of course, don't try to enter a plain black one. Nothing is there. I do still crash, of course, but not often. I make quite long journeys. Sailboats, submarines, and helicopters mostly. Speed kills. And I carry my full load of attachments, scripts etc. I tried the low-lag classic outfit thing. Seems to make no difference, despite all the advice above. Since I started this regime, although long journeys are still slightly challenging, it's mostly ban lines that get me (damn them). Having to be alert, scanning continually across multiple information sources is actually quite realistic. In RL flying, you are taught a particular pattern of eye movements, scanning across the instruments, which soon becomes instinctive.
  3. I am a bit shocked to see how dismissive and hostile so many of you are to a person asking for help, and, frankly, how little depth of knowledge seems to be brought to bear. I have two suggestions, one simple, one not. If you never clear out your putstanding notifications, they can build over time into an xml file of gigantic proprtions, all of which must be loaded at startup. My login progressively deteriorated (took longer, lead to long hangs with cpu flat out) until in the end I couldnt log in at all. I hand deleted a massive xml file, and the problem was gone. It can be done in world by right clicking on the notifications icon, and choosing "clear all". Once it gets to "99+", clear it. My second suggestion is that you may have suffered from a known bugg relating to SSB, the very bug which was largely responsible for delaying its introduction, and which seems to have been kept pretty quiet. I found about this from the minutes of the open dev meetings held in the Beta Grid weekly. People tping in the Beta Grid between SSB-enabled regions and non-enabled ones were suffering actual permanent corruption to some assets such as clothing on the main asset server. This was leading to serious viewer malfunctions on both grids after a visit to the Beta Grid, such as the OP reports. I have not checked back, and I may be wrong in some of the detail, but a quick trawl through the minutes will find much discussion of this. It was a very big worry when the Beta Grid was running earlier SSB versions. It is perfectly possible that neither of these apply, but can we please try to be more polite, and more knowledgeable, with a bit more lateral thinking, if we are to step forward as self-appointed "helpers".
