Constant Crashing! Any SUggestionsn Please.

Hello:

I currently can not play the game because of consistent and frequent program crashes since today's update.

I typically am in the game from anywhere between 5 seconds and 2 minutes when the game crashes.

I have the latest drivers for my hardware installed. I have an excellent top-of-the-line, high-speed cable connection that is working fine. I rarely crashed in the prior version of SL.

This all started today: first this morning on the preview server and then again this afternoon on the regular servers after the update.

I have had four talks with tech support by phone and after each tried something new. So far I have: reset and then disabled my firewall and anti-virus programs and uninstalled all traces of prior and preview versions and then reinstalled the program. None of this has done anythnig. I still crash shortly after logging in.

Windows XP SP2
Velocity Micro Gamer's Edge
Nvidia 7800 GT
AMD Dual Core 3800+

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Same issues

same

same here, but wow you got up to 2 minutes? i wish i was in that long...They need to fix this before i flip out..lol

Usually make it to 8 min, have dumped cashe, re-installed video drivers was running latest, re-installed client, running P4 2.6 I gig mem 64mb nvidia geforce4, but on my backup system no problems as yet 1.2 celeron 512 mem and nvidia geforce2 32mb. Almost identical software and both ran previous versions of SL.

Any Clue advice acepted

Same, I've updated my video drivers, reinstalled from nothing, turned off every feature I can think of . . .

Well, on the plus side, I no longer feel like i'm alone. Now we can all be ignored together

Agreed... Upgraded everything... Fresh installed... Nothing... I barely even Log in... Instant Crash... Ive sent in about 3 Crash Logs... Nothing... And I have EVERYTHING pretty much at its lowest.

Adv Graphics switched off AGP graphics card.

Seems to have solved my problem, hope this helps.

are your drivers updated?
or installed correctly?

Dell XPS M170
NVidia GeForce Go 7800 GTX (updated fresh today)
Intel Pentium M 2.26 GHz
2 gig RAM

Handled SL beautifully until the update today - now I can go anywhere from 1 minute to 2 hours before a hard crash, complete with crash logger going off.

PLEASE tell us a fix is coming soon!

i belive that after this day ,Lindens are only for cheers and accept to applauds here if u have a problem you must ask something else.

Pentium 4 -2.4
mobilechipset:ATI RADEON IGP345M
Graphics:integrated ATI mobility RADEON graphic core AGP 4 x and 3Darchitecture

i am not a technical expert and also i dont want to be..

any linden will answer;who we must ask?

i bet they put a short cut to techinal support in post if we have a chance!(which one never helps to you(a good way to say i dont know(so what is your job)
Thank you

Just for info

Avatar clothes is messed up...
Ripples does not work
AVP has to be switched off to solve some of the issues.. e.g. clothes rendering
when AVP is switched off lose bump mapped, bump mapped & cloth

ok when are they going to fix this problem...i havent been able to get into sl for more then a minute all day..this is ridiculous..I cant even stay on long enough to open an IM to live help...what are they doing about this?


Edit ((I just tried the preview grid, and its the same way, stay on two seconds and you crash))

They answers only''wonderful lights''what a good update''we are buttering you Torley'' posts

Same problems here. I either lock up during login (right around the time it says downloading clothes, computer completely locks up and doesn't respond) or directly afterward (avatar shows up, I get about three or four lines of chat and then everything locks up). I've updated all my drivers, disabled Firewall and AV software, turned off everything in the background, etc. I was able to run the previous version great, and now I can't even get in for longer than a second or two.

I know you guys are working on all this and I understand how hectic it is directly after the update, I'm just at the end of my rope with frustration here and felt the need to piss and moan about it somewhere official.

Gratuitous system specs:
AMD Athlon64 3200+
ASUS SLI-Premium
ATI FireGL v7100
Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS
1024 MB Corsair 1024XLPT

Thanks. I hope this gets resolved in the near future.

I know you guys are working on all this



How you know they are working on this issues? is there a way ? you saw any post ?

I amd very close to these specs but i dont lockup as you say. I bet its that ATI CG.
I am having pocketloss but that it i am stable and strong.

how you know ? is there a post about this ?

Just a tip. Friend of mine was on for hours and started crashing and now sounds like you guys. Try switching LIGHTING DETAIL to 'sun and moon only'

I set my lighting for sun to noon
ANd i been in game for along time today. without crashing.
It might be theose rolling updates LLabs is doign as well.
Juat make sure your drivers are updated and correct.

My Mac (2 gig RAM) handled SL beautifully........now I cant even connect with SL! I'm crying.....I'd just purchased another parcel of land yesterday and was looking forward to working with it. Can I PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE go back to using the other version?? :"

only a note:
they still have ''what is new in 1.9'' at download site.

i am hopeless

Okay well technically I *don't* know that they're working on this, but I am being positive and giving them the benefit of the doubt. I don't see how getting angry and yelling at them would get anything accomplished other than being ignored. So I hopped on here and gave a little brief on my situation and just hope hope hope a resolution is issued. I'm pulling my hair out over here and am becoming convinced that I've done just about as much as I can on this side without just going out and buying new hardware (my graphics card is a graphics workstation because my pc is also- you guessed it- a graphics workstation). I was able to run the old version with only minor hiccups and the longest I've been able to get the new one to run was about four seconds (and I was pretty proud of that). So.... *sigh*

I can't even log on long enough to notice a difference. I want the old version back...

Okay done whining now. Carry on.

Every time SL "upgrades" I spend a month trying to get things working as well as they had prior to it. I wish Linden Lab would take into consideration that most folks out there can't drop several hundred dollars on upgrades or buy a new computer every couple months to keep up with the game. So how about it Lindens? Can't you backwards engineer some of the programming or make it optional so the folks who can can play with the upgrades and the rest of us can keep using the game as well?

I like to call these "Down grades" We seem to like to make peoples computers obsolete in the name of a new lighting feature or a nice pretty water texture.
The good thing is they don't have to worry about people leaving over the L$ becoming worthless....they are doing a quicker job of doing it by making our computers worthless
