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.

Was this posted after the update yesterday? Because usually the first day of an update SL is mega-slow, presumably while hundreds of people are downloading the new client.

I'm getting the same thing.... the last couple of days, I've noticed the worst performance I've ever had. I'm getting the exact same 'rubber banding' effect with flight, or even with walking... I start walking in one direction, take my hands off the keyboard in an effort to stop at some point, and about half the time I keep moving, without any control on my part. Sometimes I stop and snap back to where I was, sometimes I keep moving until I crash.
And the lag has been horrible.... A good portion of the time, it gets so bad that I'm down to less than 1 FPS, and I'm totally frozen in place. This lasts for a few moments, and then I unfreeze and can move again. It doesn't even matter what sim I'm in... I've had this happen in busy sims and in sims where I'm almost the only person there.
I have no idea what to do about this... I've already upgraded my drivers once so that I can see both the new lighting and ripple water... it wasn't this bad after the new version came out, it's been just within the last couple of days. Whatever's causing it, I hope it gets fixed soon... I'm getting really tired of not being able to go anywhere or do anything because of paralyzing lag.
