Every since I downloaded the new version I have such horrible lag that I cannot even leave my property. Forget flying anywhere as this immediately freezes me and sends me into a lag loop falling into oblivion. Any ideas anyone?

And when you email support, be sure to include the details, such as video card and driver, OS, motherboard, and RAM.

Fresh install of course implies that you first uninstall the software, not just reinstall over the existing installation.

And after everything is updated; run Disk Cleanup, and Defrag.

I take it all back.

I just logged in, and the lag was unfreaking believable. I've been here since Beta version 0.8, and I've nver seen anything like this. It was impossible to even move. The problem isn't your system, Nova. SL is simply broken.

I have to agree, the lag is unbelievable - Federal is almost unplayable in version 1.2. It was laggy in recent weeks in 1.1, but nothing as unplayable as it is now. It is really sad - the lag and everything else has actually made me dramatically cut back on playing SL recently. I hope it is resolved soon, but it is definitely not a user system problem. This version seems to only have marked improvement on frame rates when you are in an empty sim, otherwise the game drags. And as far as system specs, I am on a Geforce FX 5600 with 128 mb of memory, 1 Gig of system memory, and a 3.2 Ghz P4. If it performs this badly on my system, I can only imagine that it is even worse for others. This is definitely the worst performing version since early beta.
