Everything Slower than Lag itself

Textures of all kinds, clothing are all loading really really slow.


Teleporting is also delaying. And not working properly ended up somewhere sim would not load and i could not move.

I too have been having these problems. I've been reading everything I can, in search of an answer. But so far, this is the only post I've seen concerning this matter. Do you know what it might be? I tried to contact live help while I was in game, but they never responded. When you're in game, is the picture strange? Only the small map and the normal tool bars will load on screen. That's about all I see. The rest of the screen looks tan with a blue sky. The game is slow to respond to anything I try to do and I can't teleport anywhere. It freezes up when I try to do that and it boots me out of the game. Are these the problems you're having too??
This just started today, AFTER the new installment.


Oh by the way, thought that uninstalling the game and reinstalling it would help. But it didn't change anything. Neither did deleting old files/cache and cookies. My pc is up to date, video card (N'vidia 5900), windows XP, drivers, you name it. I've done it and updated everything within the last few days. lol


I'd really appreciate any help you could give me. I'll let you know if I find out anything else.

Thanks,

P.S.
Do you by chance use McAfee? I do, could it be the cause of all of this. I noticed that the Firewall really limits gameplay, and you have to turn it off just to play the game.

Same here. Everything's taking forever.

I read somewhere the reason teleporting is slow and/or you get stuck after a teleport is because of a data transfer error of some sort in assets (attachments mostly) from one sim (server) to another.

The only way I've found to reduce this problem is to detach everything or most of everything before teleporting and then re-attachhing it after teleportation. So far everytime I've done it this way I've had no problems and teleports are twice as fast.

As far as the textures.. I've noticed that too. But supposedly if you hold your mouse cursor over a specific texture it'll give that texture higher priority on loading and it'll appear faster than others.

Uninstalling... Reinstalling and Deleting any SL cache files.. and not telporting with any attachments helps to some degree.

There was a problem Thursday night with logins but still today having telporting problems even with a few prims attached.


Person to Person Teleports seem to be worse than hub ones.

Might have to fly around some.

I've only tried with one prim attached (usually a hairpiece ) without problems. haven't tried with just a few. BUt when I teleport with a fully attached av (such as my garfield av) when I arrive at the telehub I'm naked and stuck! or sometimes I don't go anywhere and I'll remain at the same spot but anable to move until I relog. Or still yet sometiems I'll just appear in empty sky naked and stuck.

It's quite annoying. They may as well make a 'reconnect' button that reconnects you without having to restart SL. Until they fix the problem atleast.
