Afraid to fly

Hey,

This started after the latest update.

I'll teleport somewhere, which works fine at first, and head skybound to fly to my destination. After a short while (sometimes before I even get close to my destination) all my attached objects disappear from my avatar. They can't be reattached. And when I try to teleport home, or anywhere else, teleport is unavailable.

I'll keep flying around trying to get places manually, and I'll be heading say, 200 meters north to the destination. Before I even get near to where I was going, I'll suddenly jump back and be 1000+ m from where I was going.

This keeps repeating. I continue to fly the 1000m's to get there, and just before hitting my mark, bang, back again - 1000+m's from destination.

The only thing I can do is log out, and reconnect.

This only seems to happen when I am flying for long distances, or in the air for long periods of time. When I'm just at home, on the ground, I seem to be okay.

And I can always tell when this is going to happen, as like I mentioned above, my avatar looses all its attached objects suddenly. When that happens, I know I'm in trouble.

Guess I'm grounded for a while. This happening to anyone else?

It happens to me all the time if I fly too fast and too early after teleporting. I try to avoid it by letting the SL load most things on the screen first before flying, and I fly about half speed. This seems to help.

Still happening to me, but what you do has helped me avoid the crash occasionally. (Letting SL catch up with loading textures, etc).

Sometimes it'll work and I can go on my way as normal. But it still messes up alot of the time and I have to relog. Gets very annoying. Hope this clears up soon.

Thanks for the reply!

Sad to say that this problem with attachements "catching up" with your avatar upon teleport or sim crossing has been with us since SL 1.1 (and probably before).

Attachments are cool but not crashing is cooler, thus I don't use attachments. I'm sure there's a reason that clothing doesn't have this problem - although I don't know why. Good thing, too, or all the players would be banned by now

Clothing doesn't have trouble because it's part of the avatar itself. Attachments, however, are things that are stuck on to the avatar, and need to be handled separately.

Same here, I can´t fly more then a few seconds,and to walk all the way to the sandbox is a realy long walk .Think my avatar needs new shoes.
I love this game,but not the bugs
At this time there is no fun to log in.

This is pretty weird, but for those of you experiencing this, there might be a way to help it (sometimes).

Happened by accident on a bad click (I'd lost my attachments again, ie about to crash, and was in the middle of what looked like a sim with endless water around) when I clicked on myself and appearance, and then suddenly while the av. was getting into position for customization, the world reappeared (along with my attachments)!


This worked several times when the detach crash starts to happen. I have no idea why, but it did. Isn't foolproof though. I've been mid flight with sudden lag, lost all my items, then have crashed to desktop completely - so there are definitely times when I didn't even get a chance to try this.

But for when you notice your stuff not appearing on you, and the world looking weird, give this a try and see what happens.

PS. I never actually had to 'adjust' my appearance. It seemed to fix the detach problem just loading up the customization tools. So I would just exit out - no save - and everything would be fine.

EDIT:

Been testing this some more. It was a fluke. Sorry. It worked a few times, but it must have just been a coincidence (just really slow loading attachments I guess). When it wants to crash, it will. Not much we can do.
