hey everyone, first post, but need some help. I've been bulding a fairly simple object and all of a sudden, any prims i ad wont stay in place. i'll get them there but they just jump around afterwards, change shape, etc. Any idea what this is? opefully its just lag, which seems to be worse the last few days. anyway, any help would be great

It's totally lag related at this point.
Tonight has been hell setting up my new store and shopping for land.
(I'm stuck with a almost a year on premium, might as well take up my free 512m)
It's just the servers losing the location of where you moved it to and lagging out to the last place.

May be lag related, but it happens when packet loss is at or near 0%, and server numbers look healthy, too.
So, not typical lag, apparently.
More likely just server issues more generally.

You don't need packet loss to cause prims to go rubbery. The ping to the server is more important sometimes. Hit ctrl-shift-1 to find out what your ping is. Anything beyond 200ms will see noticeable rubberiness.

The problem is simple: the server isn't getting the last position update from the client.
Even if there's very little "lag", packet loss, or whatever.. the server isn't receiving and processing the packet, or it's getting packets out of order. Your client coudl also be receiving packets out of order - which would make the prim appear to be some place it isn't.
Hopefully, LL will work on the protocol to make it a little more robust in the future (like using ACK's and re-sending messages if an ACK is not received, and using timestamps on packets so that out of order packets are discarded). Maybe some of those things are already there, I don't know... but if they're there, they're not working.
Either way, when the data flow gets disrupted, by a lost or misordered packet, you get rubberbanding. Even if your packet loss indicator is bottomed out, you still may be losing packets and never realize it.
