For the past few days, I get in the logging-in process and get up to "Connecting to World." I guess the client/server/Comcast doesn't want me to play!!! "Baby needs to suck ash!" ~Stewie

I have, just now, crashed 6 times in a row while trying to log in. I'm going to try rebooting. If that doesn't help, I'm going to find a brick.

i have tried a few times this am. I get hung up on connecting server - got past that once and bounced back to the sign in page shortly after. I am on a mac and just got a software update to 10.3.9 - and was wondering if this had anything to do with it?

While we're looking into a few issues this morning, Meatwad should check any firewalls that might be running (including Windows Firewall), and change the login location.

Including Windows Firewall, NO firewalls are running! It's really frustrating because I can do anything on the net, BUT no email (comcast account using Outlook Express) AND no SL! Whaam I going to do with myself? Also, I have a NETGEAR 108 mbps Wireless PC Card WG511T with Comcast internet if that helps. I've rebooted and everything. Even with whatever they did today, I'm stuck at my first post! Any tech wizzes out there able to help me? :confused: :eek: :o

Two days of unsucessful logins
04-19-2005 20:26
Just to throw another hat into the ring -- since yesterday I haven't been able to get SL to function. It does log in, but as soon as it does, within 10 seconds or less, it freezes immediately. After the last upgrade, I was amazed at the improved performance. Screaming fast rendering and consequently in navigation. Huge difference in all the right aways. But something seems to have changed in the last 48 hours. No joy.

Anyone know what's up?

Thanks a bunch,

Sue.

Sue,

Thanks, Lee. I'm going to have to buy a new card. The VIA/S3G UniChromell Graphics drivers on this one choke on the draws. The computer's only a few months old, but the card is a piece of crap. Amazing I've been functioning at all. Bought my son's PC at the same time and put an NVidia in it, and can't believe the difference between the two of them when I log on. I can just scream through the world on his PC. Almost picked up an ATI for mine, but understand they don't play nice here either? So guessing I should stick with the NVidia when I upgrade mine too.

Thanks, Lee. Love the app. Your team has done an amazing job with this. Haven't minded the bumps in the night, because what you're doing is very pioneering. Kudos.

Sue.

I can now log into SL! Thank you for 1.6.3. It had been nearly 48 hours.

The weird thing was, I could log in with my alt, but not my main account. I suppose I should be thankful for that, but it was a little annoying all the same.

Anyway, things are working again. Thanks, LindenLab!

[Edit: Perhaps I spoke too soon. XD Now it's holding on Waiting For Response. XD Oh well.]
