Ive been around sl for a very long time - and lately when i log in i last about 10-15 minutes then everything freezes and i have to reboot my computer. I have all my settings low thinking it would solve the issue.. nope. I have draw distance down and all audio/voice/video off. Ive tried rebooting by turning my computer completely off and restarting.. still i crash... I am not sure what to do.. to make sure everything was up to date - i reinstalled yesterday. Does anyone have any advise? or help?? PLEASE  its so annoyning.  |

Need more info to have any chance to help. computer specs, router, modem connection, operating system. Could be something as simple as dust buildup in the computer and it's overheating, might open the case and blow it out with a can of duster. SL is a resource hog and it can easily heat things up even with good airflow, add a coating of dust and grime to the cooling fins and things get hot and lock up, freeze etc..

Get pc spec's that would help, doesnt help 'x' game work fine really.
Most likly you need either clean cache,new xml file ,
-Games dont compared to SL period-
most of them also run in directx not opengl
(wow can do both , wich is rare in games now)
A game has everything it need textures,shapes,maps,ect, so it never need to constantly download and render much since you have it all already.
SL is diffrent you have nothing on your hd, and it need to constantly download textures/info that can trip your client easy, not to mention its way way polygon intensive ~ do alot more rendering then pretty much any game can or do + huge huge textures/millions of them.
This is why we always ask for pc spec's that you made sure you already tried clearing cache, relog in another place, reset preference (or just delete/make a new xml files)
