[Do sleeping servers wake-up fast enough?]

Your explanation is much better than mine, Wolf. I have indeed experienced the type of problems you've encountered. Thanks for adding the clarity.

[Do sleeping servers wake-up fast enough?]

Very interesting info, Mal! Thank you. I read that they were retesting threaded region crossings in the past couple weeks.

As you mention, we saw sporatic results on sim crossing during that period. We generally boat down from SL New England to the Black Sea, about 20 sims and sometimes we had very wierd results. I hope the fixes work. I love boating in the Blake Sea and the eastern regions surrounding it.

Kind regards, Yordie.

Hi Theresa... sounds like the "region idling" isn't the cause of problems.  Thanks for your explanations.

Hi Theresa... I hoped that's how it works. Any idea why visually and on the mini-map, sims appear to be down? It is very puzzling what is happening. Also, what is the terminology for the sleep server technoloy? Thank you, Yordie

If I'm boating on the Blake Sea and I approach a sim that is sleeping, will that sim wake-up fast enough for me to cross without incident?

In the past, when threaded region crossing were working well, I was able to speed across an unlimited number of sims (once I did over 100) without incident. Now, it is sporadic. At times, I've crashed on the first sim crossing and the farthest I've gone was 19 sims one evening before crashing. Crashes are the type where you loose control of your avi as they sail off across non-existent sims.

I don't remember the name of the server technology that places servers asleep when not being used, but I've read that this has been implemented. Could the sleeping servers account for the crashes I've experienced?

I experience this trembling. It seems to be related to logon. like yourself, if i move it will stop. I use Firestorm on Win 7 PC.

[LAG!!!!]

I've experienced an unusual amount of lag as well. On Saturday a group of eight of my friends tried walking across about 20 mainland sims, the lag was remeniscent of 2007. Sim crossings were quite bad as well.
