What things have crashed the SL client?

Could people list a series of things they have seen crash their SL client in the past?

For example,

- Too small prims
- Tortured prims
- Too many particles
- Shadows Turned On/Off
- fast clicking on media widgets
- crash on saving images
- others?

Hopefully with a sufficient list then we can have some good ideas of what to test in the 1.7 preview.

I often crash when deleting an item from my inventory.

I use the camera a lot and move it around a fair bit.. I've seen some issues with crashing that seem to stem from quick movements of the camera, though it's not very reproducable so may also have some other contributing factors such as bad geometry or other unknowns.

i also crash when deleting items from inventory

Deleting from inventory

I only ever crash when zooming in and out wildly on my butt (and other objects)

Editing things I made before 1.6. Crashes anyone else who tries too.

Modifying permissions of things in inventory.

Playing sounds from inventory.

Deleting things from inventory.

Viewing textures from inventory.

Dropping folders to avatar from inventory.

Applying textures to objects.

Linking objects.

Taking objects into inventory.

Crossing sim borders.

Sitting down.

Pressing accelerate on a Francis Chung Jetski.

Um. Those are just ones that have happened in the last couple of days. can prolly think of more.

Since when is the minimum age to be in SL, 13 ????? I'm totally shocked and I can surely say, appauld !!!! I always thought this was an adult game. Some of the things that go on, not to mention that are said, sure aren't for 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, probably not even 18 year olds to be hearing. I'm sure I'll get a raft of crap for including 18 in that statement, but let's be up front about this, it's bad enough they hear stuff at school amongest their peers I dont think they need to learn more from us in this game. Great big "sigh"

I don't know about the rest of you, but this is my escape from RL and to think there are children in here just puts me on egg shells. Hell, I'm considering picking up my adult toys and going home :|

There goes the neighborhood!!!

p.s. Sorry for posting out of the thread, the one place that this post would be ideal under, I'm not allowed........go figure !!!

Actually they will have their own grid to play on.

If I don't wait for a task to complete itself or about 10 seconds between deleting items. If I forget to wait for things to load into a box and just keep throwing things in it I crash. I know better but sometimes I get ahead of myself and the computer and then I crash. Also I have gotten stuck in one place I believe I was at the edge of a sim and had to exit the game and relog

Crossing certain SIM borders in the SE region of the main continent...

However this is just an abberation on my part (oh, and half a dozen or so friends who've tried to visit me, and people who've tried to buy land from me...) as LL say there are no bad SIM borders.

Obviously all of us who have problems need treatment. Like having someone tell us there are no problems. If we are told often enough the delusion will go away.

I've crashed more than once when doing two different things. One, I sometimes crash when I mess with my camera angle... particularly when zooming in and turning the camera. The last crash I've had was once or twice when trying to change the color of a prim.

I crash when cycling through textures at stores. I also crash when I lag (when it is HORRIBLE lag), and the only way I know I crashed is from noticing that the background of my mini map has turned red and/or I can only turn, nothing else!

i lag out when i change colours/texture of a large number of prims at once, mainly hair... this makes it IMPOSSIBLE for me to recolour hair/retexture.

i crash when my camera moves... it happens randomly, usually every 15 minutes. it obviously has somthing to do with graphics or somthing becasue i can stay on for hours just chatting in im without moving my av and i do not crash.
btw, sl doesn't just crash... my computer reboots and i get error screens

i crash ocasionally when...

+ i rez an object
+ i alt zoom
+ i'm typing
+ teleporting
+ driving a vehicle/using things like roam etc *not roams fault or vehicles, its sim crossings*
+ tiny prim work
+ choosing atexture for a prim, sl goes crazing and cycles through random textures each lasting like a second... i have to reboot sl cause its unstoppable

basicly i crash all the time for no apparent deffinate reason. i have played loads of other high demand game son my machine, several all at once with no problems. for such a small 20mb client, it must be a poor code or somthing because its the only thing that fucks up on my computer.

i submit error reports, i get no reply or i get told to look in the faq... obviously no1 wants to/can be arsed to help.


*rant over*

and also began to pay attention to the region loads on the minimap; flying too fast into an unloaded region would cause a minute or so's freeze then crash the app. (mac osx10.3.9, pb17", 2gram) once i noticed this, i became a much more cautious flyer.

sadly, i will probably not be returning very soon, as my job just closed, so no more access to that fine machine. my time with sl was very short, but very sweet. please, if anyone asks about me, let them know that i am alive and well, and simply must go work my butt off and get a new computer again.

LL, if there's anything open, let me know (seriously, just email my account. sorry, -begging- for a job!

'til next time, take care all... i'll keep reading the forums and dreaming of coming back to visit my friends... - nyoko (happysad)

Happens to me as well. Very frequently, in fact.

I also crash occasionally when mucking about with the camera angle and zoom.

One of my pet hates though is chat lag. This happens way too often for me. I know it's off-topic here as it's not a crash, but it is very irritating and very frequent. My chat lines pop up out of sequence and sometimes half a minute or a full minute after typing them!! Grrrr...

Taking clothes off then deleting them (I was sorting some freebies).

Oddly deleting them and then taking them seemed to work just fine...

Bad sim crossings.

Sailing, even in the middle of sims.

TPs.

Daring to move within 5 minutes of a tp, once even daring to turn on the spot.

I crash:

-- occasionally when move the camera

-- when I exit and also have music stream (outside SL). This freezes the computer (can't even move mouse) and I have to reset.

-- when switching between window and full screen mode too many times. I used to run full screen mode but I am hell for accidently pressing the Windows key instead of Alt or Ctrl. Now I run in a maximized window.

moving the camera through particle effects causes 95% of my crashes.

I have to say at the moment, SL is the only program that has made windows xp BSOD, it seems to be a graphics related fault, because it always seems to involce the nv4 disp.dll or nvidia driver, which im running the latest, going back to a previous version doesnt help. The crash seems quite random i can be not moving sometime and either flying quite quickly in a laggy area othertimes, most times it just resets the computer causing.

Funnily on my laptop, also xp, but using a ati9700 chipset, that also seems to crash randomly, but its not quite as hard and only drops to the sl crash reporter.

I've crashed with a movie staring on someones land, i didnt press any buttons.

Luckily the shadows bug is no longer with us, after much work with brent, and a hell of alot of crashes, that bug is squashed.

The message I typically receive when I get a BSOD is something about "the driver has entered an infinite loop." Reminds me of an old ST:TNG episode.



So we can safely turn shadows back on now?

P2

Yes my BSOD is similar, i'll have to see if its logged somewhere as it never stays on screen long enough to read before the computer reboots itself.

And yes its safe to turn shadows back on, the bug was patched in 1.6.7

Personally, the one thing that crashes me consistantly these days is video. Sometimes I'll be watching and just crash, though thats rare. What usually causes them is pausing and starting the video player a few times..

Oh, and if I turn my available memory up to >512, particles and clouds will kill be pretty easily.. I'm pretty sure its not a memory fault, cause a couple friends with similar setups have similar problems..

last sunday night ,i crashed twice there on 2ndlife ,and monday,with 1 crash,what happened was the game would start to lag,then i saw myself typing,then my monitor shut off with the tower still running,i pushed the re-set on the tower,the dreaded blue screen was there,i quickly shut the pc down,waited an hour,fired it up..and hour later,it happened again,then on monday 7/18 i was on in the afternoon,about an hour later,it happened again,it seems to only do this on 2ndlife,i also have joint operations,and halflife2 on my pc,those worked fine,and the strange thing is,inwhich im happy,but it hasnt done that since monday...other than that,2ndlife is awesome,i love every minute when im on there,the people are great..

as of the last update I have crashed or had SEVERE lag and packet loss when I've tried to take snapshots
