Wake Up !! The Game Is Busted !!!!

OK Enuf:

Earlier I posted about the extreme poor performance of the game todaylink to post/post is quoted below)

/142/92/112464/1.html

Well tonight it's worse! There are only 6,000 out of the 240,000 customer base on line and the game is nearly unplayable cuz of lag.'

WAKe uP sOME oNE !!!!!!!!!

Wouldn't be the first great game gone down the tubes cuz of technical problems not attended to.


" I Apologize and I Am Very Sorry, BUT I Just Gotta Say:

But I just go to say that the performance of the game today has been just awful. Both before and after i installed the update the game has just totally sucked. For me, aside for the first 2 days of 1.10 when I could not play at all cuz of the Crashing Syndrome, performance today has been the worst it has ever been.

My major complaint is the constant "rubber-banding"/lag where every time I try to fly to a certain point I overshoot it by approx. 5-10 seconds of flight time and then rebound back to where I originally intended to go. This has made playing the game a chore rather than a joy.

Also, I enjoy flying aircraft in SL. Today, this has been totally impossible. Lag, falling through the bottom of the grond and then rebounding to an extremely high altitude have been most common. My fllights have all terminated aprubtly by having my aircraft disappear from under me and I have found myself either underwater, beneath the surface of the ground, or in a fixed sitting position above 500m. I have had to re-log to get out of the sitting position. I am ready to just scream!

I have a high-end custom gaming rig, my drivers and all that are up to date and I have an uber-super hi-speed cable connection giving me an excellent ping. The problem is clearly server-side.

I have been a "hard-core" gamer for over six years and in no other game would the lag and performance issues that exists in this game be tolerated by the gaming commmunity. It says a lot about the content and game-play here that gamers such as myself put up with this garbage so they can play this game.

I know you folks can do better than this."

I havent been able to fly ANY aircraft since Feb and only very slow ones since mid December... The controls just dont respond...

Take a number and get in line for bug fixes....

My perfomance since 1.10 is now attrocious. my packet loss has increased so much the lag is unbearable. Not worth complaing because no-one wants to listen.

SL since the hugely useless and failed 1.7 has got worse and worse up to 1.10

I have spent 2 months developing a comuunity sim for all motor racing fanatics, and at a huge cost as well. At the moment it is now almost impossible to hold races because of the constant crashing, lag and other problems that SL keep giving us in these updates.

Why is it we have a Preview grid ? I thought the preview was to test a new version before releasing it. Then why arn't the bugs sorted out in the preview before we get a new release.

I am now totally fed up of being told my gfx card needs updating (It is every month)
I am fed up of being told my modem or ADSL is no good (tested many times and working fine)

Come on SL it's time to listen now. You have had since 1.7 to now to get this right and it's not. We need to have a game that works and not have these major problems all the time

SL is a fabulous environment to be but when the problems arn't being sorted out it becomes tiresome, boring and totally frustrating.

Forget the fancy addons like new inventories and mozilla borwsers that really are not necessary, get the server issues and GFX issues sorted out for us first. Start listening to what people are telling you, Read these Forums you will learn a lot about what residents think about SL and the problems being suffered.

Yes, please! I agree totally. I just posted in another thread about how bad my performance has been lately. I was getting some lag after the new version was installed, but it wasn't terrible, I could deal with it. The last few days though, the lag has been so bad I can barely move at times. Earlier this afternoon, I was trying to explore the asylum at Crimson Falls... I say trying, because every few minutes I would totally freeze and be unable to move. I noticed the same thing yesterday in two different sims. Honestly, the new lighting is pretty, and flexyprims are fun, but I'd be willing to roll back to the previous version until these performance issues can be worked out.

All of this could be solved with CSP.

CSP is this:

the client handles the physics for any objects directly attached to your avatar and anything you're sitting on. If the object is scripted, then the script gets downloaded to your client and runs in the client against the cached copy of what's on the server. The client then INFORMS the server of the state of any of the objects the client "owns", and the server simply echoes that to all the other clients out there.

CSP is used on ALL of the major 3D games. Everything as far back as Quake World uses it (the original Quake didn't. That was the difference between Quake and QW. QW introduced the CSP for the first time).

One of the things SL needs in order to go to the next level is CSP. Without it, we'll forever be stuck in 1996-era lag hell.

I agree! Since downloading the update..it was ok at first then WHAM! TOTAL packet loss!
Everything was just fine darnit! I just dont know whats going on. Maybe I should just go play some GUILD WARS instead!! Never have any probs with THAT game!

grrrr
