SInce the rollout of Pathfinder, almost every homestead sim I try to go to is lagged by up to 8 seconds. If I try to cross to an ajoining sim I am thrown off world and the viewer crashes. If I try to TP out of the sim the viewer crashes.This has been going on now for a month. I have been through every step to optimise my pc. I have clean installed the viewer, gone through the menus turning off features and tried to keep the scripts as low as possible on the avitar. As it stands now I am limited to full sims for any normal movement. I am running a Dell XPS 8100 with Windows 7, an Intel I7 quad processor, 8 gb ram and a Radeon HD 5700 series graphics card with 1 gb memory. I am,however, on limited bandwidth and my connection speed is 1mbps. Up until the lateset rollout , Pathfinder, I had none of the problems I have listed. Since that time my SL experience is virtually at a stand still for anything other than chat. I have spent a lot of money in Second Life over the time I have been here, but I can certainly take my money elsewhere to a grid that is more accomodating and interested in it's customers. Is Linden Labs comitted to Second Life availability to for those of us without the super fast connections or are we to be marginalized and essentially dumped from the grid?
