Crashes, crashes, crashes... and comic-book effect on top of that!

OK, this is COMPLETLY out of hand now. Ever since 1.8 I didn't experience a single crash (despite that I play 10+ hours a day!) and with 1.10... WHAM! The newest one is even worse, I just crashed for the 6th time in less than 30 minutes. And please don't tell me it's drivers - I downloaded new ones and didn't help. I won't even mention that my FPS rarely gets above 5 FPS on a nearly top-of-the-line computer! What do I need to get a decent (15+) framerate? 4 CPU system? BeoWulf? Cray?

So, enough technical rant, here is what I propose...
Stop adding new, useless features and focus SOLELY on fixing bugs and improving stability and performance until things are really good.
Shiny stuff is fun but only if you can actually play! There is no point to have mind-dazzling features if you keep crashing every 5 minutes since we just won't see the said features at all!

Again - less bells and whistles, more stability and performance works. And please don't move this post to technical support forums, I've been there already.

Thank you and PLEASE - have mercy upon us, poor mortal players who only wish to enjoy Second Life

We agree, Raavi--now, the reason why I'd move a post like this to Technical Issues is to allow for further discussion, as you can't reply here. However, since you've been there already and know what to do, please continue to send us your crash logs and do the other recommended steps so we can help improve your experience.

I know you really want to enjoy SL; we'll do our best!
