Sim Bug

Hi Torley,

Do you know when the bug thats effect sims fps and time dialation is going to be fixed? It's been like this for a couple of weeks now and seems to be getting worse, its really annoying.

My sims fps hovers between 36 and 45, and then every 10 mins or so drops to 0, then slowly dwindles its way back up. The time dialation also goes up and down. It's making it hard to build, move around (like walking through glue), and I'm sure its offputting to customers. I'm really getting fed up with it now.

At first I kept asking live help about it and they said, oh, its cause you have too many things going on in your sim, or that theres nothing wrong with it, and after various restarts, and feeling like I was hitting my head against a brick wall trying to find out what was wrong, I overheard them saying in the concierge channel, that its a big bug your all aware of.

According to the concierge channel, their aware of it, aware that its effecting a lot of sims, but do not know when it's going to be fixed. I wondered if you knew more?

Thanks.

Hi Leah,

The info Concierge I have is the same info I have! Definitely frustating; Cyn and I were actually agonizing over it yesterday because we feel the hurt, we really do. :\

This critical problem has been noticed for weeks as you describe--and we do want to help get it resolved soon. The reason why we don't have a better timeframe is because don't have a lock on what precisely is degrading performance. We need to know that so we can solve the root of the program. So right now, the search continues, and I'll keep bringing this issue up to our developers, as well as provide whatever reports we get about it such as yours--I'm going to include it in the open issue file we have.

Please let others who've experienced it know about your post and my reply here, to confirm that yes, we're aware, we know it's affecting a lot of sims, and we want to have it fixed ASAP.

I'm sorry I don't have further info at this time. It definitely sucks and if we get more info, I or another Linden will be sure to post on our news page @ http://blog.secondlife.com about it. Of course when it is fixed, we'll post about that too!

Thanx for taking the time to write.
