Hello,

I am crashing every 3 seconds every time I log into second life. I used to be able to log in and not crash with the OLD version of Second Life 1-13-3-2......
I really avoided the other versions because of the problem but since there was no way around it this time I installed the new one.

Eversince Second Life 1-14-0-1 and version 1-15-0-2 I was getting the I log in and crash every 3 seconds problem.

Is anyone else experiencing this particular problem?
Help would be much appreaciated.

hi :)

i am not an expert, but maybe disabeling opengl vertex buffer objects in the advanced graphics tab will help (it will slow down you performance though)

good luck ;)

Hello, Yuriko Nishi!

Wow!! That seemed to do the trick, it worked. You are awesome and smart! I am so thankful thank you so much I really appreaciate it!!! :D :)

For those of you having this similar problem like I was do like Nishi said, Start your second life, but dont log in, go into preferences, then into adv. graphics and uncheck (Enable Open GL Vertex Buffer objects).

wow cool :)

i hope the performance isn“t too bad now... better than crashing, but maybe you will be able to put that option back on with a new graphics driver...

glad i could help you :)

have fun
