So many problems, when can fixes be expected?

These are some of the bigger problems we have wrestled with over the past few weeks.

1. Editing Appearance. It's not functioning well. You can't zoom in on your avatar.

2. Frequent teleport crashes and malfunctions.

3. Emptying trash results in a game crash about 80% of the time.

4. I see a lot of avatars running around messed up. Missing Textures is most common but I have seen peoples' butts on their chest.

5. If you're uploading textures and for some reason your SL screen minimizes, when you come back, all the uploaded textures are transparent blanks, not temporarily but permanently.

6. Weird gravity. Sinking into floors.

7. Using a poseball will often result in your avatar being transported into some weird dimension for about half a minute.

That's about all I can think of at the moment. Anyone else?

Very much doubt they'll ever be fixed. I've lost atleast 5 good friends this week because SL is basicly just broken. Fourth day in a row now I cant TP. You cant fly to the place you want to go because SL cant keep up.. It's turning into a joke

"So many problems, when can fixes be expected?"

Most likely in another life time.

These things will likely be fixed when there are less than 1000 avatars on at the same time like it was 2 years ago.

They just cant keep up! They don't listen! Fix, then update! Make it so the game works, not so that everything breaks 5 times a day and you lose old members.. Competition is getting stronger now..

We all love SL, and want to keep playing it but it's getting harder everyday when you cant even transport, let alone build! As has been pointed out many many times, maybe shut the doors, learn to get the grid to work with the amount of members you already have, then open them once it can handle it?


Quick Edit: I'm seeking to buy a vast amount of Land at the moment, but I honestly think I'd be better off waiting till the games reliable. Cant even build on my friends small piece of land with SL in its present state.. I honestly hope things get fixed soon, we have a great community here, would be a shame to lose it all

Any chance of even fixing the most basic of things, like travel? Do Lindens even bother reading this?do they really understand the problems? Sorry to keep moaning but when I first joined, I could travel around in SL, enjoyed my time here, liked helping friends build. Now I'm lucky if I can move, load my invo, edit a cube, even credit my account! PLEASE fix things

Appearance zoom works fine for me.

Teleport is not causing crashes here, though it doesn't always work.

No problems from emptying trash.

Not seeing too awfully many Missing Texture avatars.

My SL screen never minimizes unless I make it do so, which I never do. I just click on the taskbar to switch applications, and I run Sl in a window.

Sinking into floors happens at sim boundaries but not elsewhere.

The poseballs sending you into another dimension thing - does it make your avatar spin around? For the longest time, though not so much lately, sitting on something would make my avatar go flying slowly away, spinning around , while my camera was fairly stable. Sometimes the avatar would reappear far away from the attempted sit location. The avatar yellow dot on the map would go off on a separate journey all it's own. Not happening lately though.

Crashes of unknown origin, with one hundred percent crash reporter failure. SL crashing doesn't bother me so much, since I gave up on building long ago due to the interface design and continuous problems and bugs, but the crash reporter should send it's message and close. The crash reporter should be built like a tank.

The texture problem described so well by Coconut Koala doesn't bother me since I gave up building and thus don't' do much texturing but it must surely be reducing the number of interesting builds I get to see that other people have made.

Scripts that don't save or that revert to old versions after having been saved and executing more recent versions, but that's been going on for years now.

Extreme rubberbanding of objects size, position, and rotation when building, making building miserable, but that is also a years old problem.
