Can't move since Saturday Night

At some point Saturday night I stopped being able to move in game. I can turn, use objects, chat, do everything else that I've tried, but I cannot move. Friends have teleported me to several different sims. Sometimes I can move in slow motion for a short distance, maybe a meter or two, but then I stop again, unable to move. I seem to be the only one affected by this problem wherever I go. No one else around me seems lagged.

I have troubleshot this problem twice with Linden's.
  1. I'm not suffering from packet loss. (0.0% packet loss)
  2. In debug, all connection measures seem normal except (according to one, but not both of the Linden's) my packets in/out might be a little light hovering around 20/sec.
  3. We tried a number things and determined it's nothing to do with my keyboard..
  4. One of the Linden's suggested I reinstall. I did and that did not help.


One of the Linden's thought that there is a node somewhere between me and SL that is having a problem, causing a bottleneck. However when I do a tracert to SL, I get normal pings (<100) all the way to SL. This is for the data server.

I found this page at the second life wiki, and tried the following to correct the problem:
  1. Plugged the cable modem directly into my laptop and turned off my wifi card. (so it's not my wifi)
  2. Turned off my McAfee firewall. And made sure my windows firewall is off as well. It doesn't help.


I saw this post and tried to defrag my computer (even though that seems unrelated to me) and that did not help.

I have an open ticket to SL, but does anyone have any other ideas what it might be?

Are you wearing a prim with an anti-push script? It sounds like your avatar is being "move-to-target"ed into place.

Nope, not wearing anything like that.

From what I've read, SL maintains several different connections at once... is there something else to ping besides the specific sim servers and the data server?

I'm wondering, what changed from the time you were able to move till the time you found yourself unable to move?

If nothing else works, I'd use windows "System Restore" option found under 'Start.. All Programs... Accessories... System Tools'

Restore to a time everything was working correctly.

The problem was I was in the middle of a session when it stopped working. I played in the morning for a while, everything was fine. When I logged on that night, I was running around as normal for at least an hour or two, shopping with a friend and bouncing from sim to sim when it hit me. Haven't moved since (at least from using my arrow keys).
