Huge Lag

Has anyone else experienced lag so bad that when you teleport somewhere, then press the up arrow for example, it's at least a second or two before your avatar moves, and then it moves too far because it continues to move for a second or so after you have stopped holding the key down...

This lag is really spoiling secondlife for me and as the Lindens are 'so easy to talk to' that there's no need for a union or for us to speak as a group, I ask this for myself, and I'd love a Linden to explain to me on this thread what the problem is, and when we might expect a fix.

Yeah, it was pretty bad for me, last night. I am beginning to detect a pattern, in my case. In texture-saturated sims/plots, my physical memory is always pegged to the hilt and my system cache is always at peak (around 600000 KB). I am building a new gaming-optimized system, and I'll be curious to see if the enhanced graphics card/memory, 64-bit processor and triple RAM will make a difference.

I have noticed the lag increase dramatically over the past couple of weeks - it makes SL very frustrating at times, and I am on a high end machine. Even with local lighting turned off, I have noticed skipping, people sinking into the ground, and a lot of other weirdness - plus it takes forever for textures to rez in sometimes. The performance has definitely degraded a lot

Hehe, Cris - Every time I try to go to your ANOMations store (I think it's the Mavericks location, but I'll have to verify next time I'm in world), I become ghosted and can fly through walls and underground. It would be kinda cool except I can never use your animation previewer.

Try being on one of the original servers. Lagolicious, yea baby.

I added a stick of memory to my fairly dated comp (2 years old) and it did the trick beautifully. Lag was greatly minimized.

I have a blistering 64MB of graphics card to throw at Secondlife, working with a powerful 2.4GHz P4 processor, and a gigabyte (Yes a gig) of RAM.

Yeah, that did help me for awhile, but there are just so many factors that produce lag. Client lag is only one piece of the puzzle, I'm afraid. My new system will have 2 x 512 DIMMs. I think the motherboard we are going with has four memory slots, and if so, I'll probably stick my current 2 x 256 DIMMs in there, as well. Will be interesting to see if it makes a major difference.

I have 2 gigs of ram, and while in Slootsville yesterday I could barely move.

Also have a 256 meg Graphics card.

That was the lag caused by Canimal's sex dungeon.

Uh... dude.. that really isn't anything special nowadays.


And a 64 meg card blows.

I got odd pockets of lag, and I know its client related.

The occur occasionally when teleporting to a new location, or more oddly, if I minimize my client, I get about 60 seconds of 0.3fps on the client after restoring... which never used to happen. Oh yeah, for the record, my computer is teh 133t s3xx0rz. I kiss it before bed at night.

Perhaps it is the hundreds of invisible phantom scripted objects moving through the skies all over SL.

And no I'm not kidding.

we have a preview grid up. that always causes excessive lag on the main grid. i've no idea why; but it always does.

And you have the audacity to complain about others' flagrant misuse of the English language.

I like how a thread about lag starts out with a half-hearted attempt to put forth the misguided union idea and then ends with a pissing contest about computer hardware. God bless the internet.

Huge lag caused by big prim land, many clubs make lag stop for pant ball.

It's actually been about 3 weeks... I have been arguing with LL every day since... Le Cadre use to be known as a lag free enjoyable place to go, now you get a small group of people in there and it's like you are walking through melted marshmellows!

I have slowly come to the opinion that the SL system has exceeded its design considerations to a degree that no one knows why even half of the reported phenomena happen - let alone what to do about them.

I happen to notice not the 1st Linden replied in this forum thread. Face it peeps your money and everyone elses money plus the 8 mil they recieved is not going to upgrade servers or bandwidth. I have a super fast pc and super high speed internet and same problems. I know for a fact its LL but as we all see no one wants to reply in the LL office

Ah, well with my 512 Mb RAM and 32 Mb VRAM I've always experienced (second) life as described by JSecure in the original post...

Well in order to make them respond to us I proposed to form a union, a big group of people all speaking in unison, but I got seven members. I was reliably informed by the residents of SL that there's no need to speak in unison, if one person asks, the Lindens always rush to reply.

I'm not going to say anything... Just make your own conclusions from the evidence before you...
