ok first...
WTF!?!?!
weve got all this gorgeous vehicle source code... all these wonderful and talented: builders, scripters, and texturers building vehicles... weve got lindens building us mile after mile after mile of glorious open road... weve got HUGE EMPTY sims dedicated to enjoying our vehicles...
AND YET!
Enjoying them is impossible because if we cross a **** server line the enitre world goes to hell in a handbasket! I cant cross a server line without:
a.) having to get off and back on my vehicle
b.) having to take my vehicle into and back out of my inventory
c.) having to completely restart Second Life and then track down my vehicle because the servers completely lost track of me.
or d.) having it lag out so bad you just ghost through objects for about a minute until you dont know where you are anymore.

CAN WE PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO *SOMETHING* ANYTHING ABOUT THIS???? PLEASE!!!! what is the point of having these wonderful vehicles if we cant drive them?

and another thing... give us more vehicle prims! I know we all saw that thread which has now dissapeared...
1.4 cant come fast enough... lets just hope theres some needed improvements in it.

Yes! Amen! Hallelujah! I have lots of fun with the vehicles, but I've spent the entire day logging in to find my lost motorcycle, getting lagged out/crashing, server loses me, go back to find my vehicle, get lagged out, server loses me, go back to find my...you get the point. I'm on my 7 day trial and I have each and every one of the problems you described =/ I LOVE second life when I can play it..but this is being a serious cramp in my fun and I hope that Second Life doesn't lose a potential paying customer (me) because of it =/

P.S. And about the lag specifically..wow..what kind of connection do you need to play this game? I have 2mbps cable and I constantly lag out..it's so bad that every once of my bandwidth gets sucked up by 2nd life and the other computers on my network ping out...even if I have my bandwidth settings to 100kbps

TELL IT LIKE IT IS

Seriously... that thing where you tumble off into the twilight zone for several seconds when you cross over... that's got to go.

However, the Lindens have told me that improvements are being made to the handoff code.

Hey OmegaX, you might want to reduce your network bandwidth settings in SL Preferences just a tad (400k works really well for me on 3mb cable). SL doesn't take THAT much bandwidth. You may also be having an issue with your NAT box if you have one on your network <-- this is many people's biggest problem.

See this thread for more info
