Two days ago I was online on 12,600 m land I rent on an island.
Suddenly the lag increades 5 times and walking causes me to sink into the ground and through wall and fly forward then back like Im on a spring. My Grazing llamas like me, take 3 steps forward then 2 steps back. My Time Dilation meter jumps from RED (BAD) to GREEN (good) each second.
My FPS remains 30-60
Some off my animals are missing and some i found 300 meters up in the sky.
What is going on?
How do we go about getting it fixed?
I should mention that my computer is super good. Latest drivers no issues when i go to other sims.
Can anyone tell me what is going on and what can I do about it? The problem is on it's 4th day.

"Grazing llamas"??
How many? Did the problems begin after the herd of llamas started grazing? Animated prims are "sub-optimal" for sim performance. Or in English - Kill a few llamas? |

Sounds like either the texture cache is full or there's a physics overload recurring regularly in the sim.
A restart should fix the former; as for physics, get rid of as many physical objects as you can. Are the animals physical? If so, someone may have determined (rightly or wrongly) that they were the lag culprits and tried to blast them off-world, hence their rather remarkable present locations... I can't say for sure, but it smells like physics lag to me, or perhaps even a presence issue (relatively rare). _____________________

Nothing has been added or changed for along time--at least 6 months. What is happening is a sudden severe lag and my time dilation meter jumps from one extreme to the other back and forth in a second. I sink into the ground and walking and flying is like being on a spring. I've already tried picking up lots of objects that have particles with no change whatsoever. |

Try a sim restart.
If that doesn't cure it, have a look at the sim debug tools. Get someone to have a look over it all with you, inworld, if you are unfamiliar. In fact, 'view statistics' tells you most of what you would need to know anyway. The estate tools just help you pinpoint exactly where the problem is, if it's an object. _____________________

What do i do about these issues if they are the culprit. i havent changed anything on my land for months so this is an overnight problem. I rent close to half the island and there are maybe 4 other teneants usually not online. There are rarely more then 3 people online on it at all times. So who does the restart the estate owner? Is this something an Estate owner has to fix? Or do I try to get the LL to fix? |

Lag spikes can be caused by visiting residents wearing attachments with hundreds (and I mean literally hundreds) of scripts, and by the occasional background state saving that sims do for backup/restore purposes. I used to play another game where the entire gameworld froze for a little while so they could save server states- Second Life lets you continue playing, but supposedly can visibly affect performance. _____________________

LLL employess will typically not support lag issues or restart an island sim, they will tell you to talk to the estate owner or an estate manager.
