Looks but the textures are messed up.Not really This is the same bla bla we always get in times like this. But then again the game is far larger and with more issues then say back in 1.5.5 client days. :(

What exactly do you expect them to tell you? You think they are lying to you when they tell you they have narrowed down the source of the problem and are dilligently working after hours to fix it? What would you rather see there?

I just don't understand you people sometimes. You amaze me to no end. Bitch because of weekly updates... they don't update for a while, and people bitch because there is no update. Bitch because there is no info about what they are doing when working on problems... they then post to-the-minute information to appease people, and you bitch about that.

Yes, the grid is having problems as major ever-changing computer networks happen to have. But surprise, surprise - it was not done intentionally just to piss you off.

Peel yourself off your computer chair and go take a nice walk outside or something.

You people have got to be the most depressing bunch I have EVER had the misfortune to associate with.

(Usagi, this is addressing all the constant complainers, not just you)

Well either those that say such things have not been inpart part total package as they say. The resent few months have been a nightmare worse then the 1.6 or 1.7 client releases......This downtime ranks up there in the 1.7 patch after patch nightmare which many of use lived through.......Some olders sims have been stressing badly to the point they can`t even hold 20 without fps dropping 50% dils don`t even think about it reading!. So to answer your sort of reply to those that have a problem with things in the game today. THERE YOU ARE :cool: have a nice laggy and pockloss day!

I still say 1.5 took the cake for bad updates. Remember the 2 day downtime with that one? + weeks of just this sort of login trouble?

Took untill 1.5.13 before it really started running decently again.

That said after much of last week and weekend lost to the security troubles I would have pushed this back another week so it could be well tested and bug fixed. Loosing all that time for fixing this update I think hurt badly. They are only human and even they have to sleep at some point.

HAHAH I need that :) That is true with the 1.5.13 client :)

But the game was smaller wit a poplus of waht 30,000?! It was a whole diff kind of sl. :(


With this past nightmare with passworks they would have been better off shutting down the game for a few days then let the let the still be online.
1.5 was the time that started the LAG issue as i recall.

lag? what lag?
09-13-2006 18:55
HELLO to all and this being my first post I will try to keep it short and sweet, comming from the sims on-line (and bringing to-date 18) of my peeps with me i can tell you we KNOW lag on a personal basis, so bearing in mind that i have been a major contributor to the influx problem we will slow it down some to help with getting it stable, however www.dragnwings.com employees MUST all have an account by the end of september!
With being used to updates EVERY morning for anywhere from 15 minutes to over an hour at times taking a night off is a blessing!, once a week or once a month as they deem and as far as the lag pffffffft. cowboychris carmichael is an instructor at TUi and my general manager, IM him and he will be happy to help you with your settings to reduce lag, or i can for that matter :)

18 out of hundreds of thousands is NOT major.

hey hey be nice Chron. 18 people for just one person IS major. So nice work Mona. Oh and I have to agree with Musashi. The Lindens spend so much time adding things that we really dont need and all they do is make a mess of things. The only recent exception to this was the group update that went pretty well, but this update is costing people time and money and for what?

All im saying is why dont they try actually fixing some problems before inventing new ones. I mean how cool would it be if they could actually do something to make things run a little faster eh?

NO this is a joke

SO the noobie logs on and says what is this place...... Looking at him I says what did it say when you downloaded it.... He thinks a minute and says... Um 2nd life. BINGO I says yer a real smart one aren't yas? He then says What do you do here

Forgeting to use the question mark or perhaps he lost it. I long to point this out to him but I am still trying to figure out how to tell this guy what we do here.

so he asks again.
i said what do you do here

I am astounded at the still missing ? and this compounded buy a small i refering to himself. I can only figure he lost his shift key too.

I finaly answer him that we build things and talk to people and play games and

At this he stops me and says

talk to people?

EURAKA he found the ?

Yes talk to people.... (marveling at how incredibly deliriously NOOB this guy was) just what you and I are doing now talking to each other.

Oh
says he

so how do i talk to people then


I notice that he has a missing ? perhaps it has fallen under his desk....

I try to stiffle my laughter and tell him What are you doin now? to talk to me ?

He looks at me with a quizzical glance and replies straitght faced

i am typing to you not talking to you.


At this point I totaly lost it and told him to go find a mentor. And teleported to a home port still laughing


If you are having problems with the game such as lag and frame rate Set your prefences to minimize that.

If you are having problems with the game such as can't log in and you have a basic acct.
well HELL what are you complaining about its FREE

If you are having problems with the game such as can't log in and have a premium acct.
well HELL what are you complaining about they are fixing it aren't they?

Or do you honostly think they would take this huge PR hit and keep us out of game just for jollies?

NOW if you are annoyed well JOIN THE CLUB. I have been playing on line games for over 7 years. SL is MILD in the down time AND SL is the only game with a police blotter so they do care bout what goes on in game. So that punk arse griefer will feel the sting.

Just remember its a game and its JUST A GAME no matter how much they call it 2nd Life.
its still just a hobby and a game..... Perhaps you could try reading a book or taking a walk did you know there is a world out there and right now its Fall and wonderful :)

I hope the time passes quickly for you no matter what you do... I am gonna go look for lost keyboard keys.

Good day :)

As for lag in TSO it aint bad these days. I remember when they first got rid of rubbers and introduced the friendship web. My sim starved to death more than once trying to get to the food table thanks to crippling lag.

Nonono, I didn't mean it this way - I meant that 18 people is not a major contribution to the problems that SL is having.

It sure would be interesting to get the mob of people demanding new features and the mob of people demanding no new features in an arena together. :) Next we could host the weekly updates vs. monthly updates battle. I bet we could raise enough money to buy all new servers for LL and hire 100 extra programmers.

TSO FOR GET THAT greening sucks
09-13-2006 19:36
I will NEVER go back to tso i have to pee more there than an old woman with bad kidneys and if I ate that much I would need an 18 wheeler just to go to the store.


NO WAY and lag... you can't do squat there if some joker decides to put all 25 jam tables in on small corner of his dumb lot.


the same principles apply in SL TOO MANY MOVING PIXELS equals LAG

notice the Lag at clubs... its all that dancing in one small ariea it taxes yer pc to keep up.

Avatars LIKE space ... Pixels and streaming date demands loads of run time on yer pc and too much data to move is a BANG cause of lag and BOOM disconnect.

Last update was the same. MASSIVE bugfix list. However, people have heard other people repeating the "fix things before introducing features" and "LL does not listen" mantras, and have just joined in.

What BS is that, Usagi? Where do you honestly think they are BS-ing you? You can't possibly think this is intentional.

If you are referring to me. I am just as pissed off as the rest of you. This stinks. The release of this update should have been pushed back at least a week. It is obviously not ready for prime time.

But I will give credit where it is due. The world is rarely black and white. They do get kudos for the long list of fixes in this release.
