But the rest of it--yeah, it's gone beyond any viewer issue, the grid entirely is just flaky beyond all reason. Group chat is mostly worthless; asset servers are hiccuping; in-world search has gone beyond the laughably broken it was before, teleporting seems to be iffy...Plus, it seems every couple of days there's a rolling restart on one of the main four server programs, so...? I'd love to know what's going on, sure, but...like that's going to happen.Emilly Orrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07245643246821826101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135301473915671680.post-83008779707450678032011-02-21T12:00:07.861-08:002011-02-21T12:00:07.861-08:00I am with you on the viewer pain :)
And am running...I am with you on the viewer pain :)<br />And am running Phoenix for the same reasons and with the same trepidation. I would also add that the last couple of weeks, and this last week even more so have been gruesome on the grid - and not in a viewer related way. Large group chats have just gone tits up. Not just the usual infuriating lag and mixed up messages, but now flat broken. Not opening, not posting at all, and pretty much useless most of the time for things like...communicating.<br />Asset servers were also having serious issues (again, as usual) as well. Rolling restarts, sim crashes...yeah. I hope that whatever is going on is being actively fixed. Oh, and world peace would be cool too.

Right now I:<br /><br />* am managing eight sims, so that takes up most of my time;<br /><br />* have killed all music and media access due to the <a href="http://no2redzone.wordpress.com/avoiding-redzone-3/" rel="nofollow">RedZone idiocy</a>, so there's now little use in going to musical venues unless I <i>really</i> care to reinstall WinAmp, which I don't have on my computer at present;<br /><br />* am not speaking to much of Caledon at present, so really, social interaction is low on my list.<br /><br />How'ver, on the off chance I <i>do</i> want to go to the Seraph Club in future--and it <b>IS</b> still on my list of things I want to do--I should install WinAmp at some point.Emilly Orrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07245643246821826101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135301473915671680.post-36880922391139864032011-02-20T15:51:38.013-08:002011-02-20T15:51:38.013-08:00Hee!

It's been my client of choice for ages... looks like the pre-2007 viewer, and has just about all the new stuff under the hood.

I moved on to Phoenix as soon as it was released and have updated each time a new version was released.<br /><br />Some of the features from Phoenix, like the "Worn" tab, have now been incorporated into the official viewer - which of course is translated back to Phoenix. So I now have the Worn tab as well as the Worn folder in inventory.<br /><br />It still crashes but I find that's more sim related than anything else. Yesterday I survived 3 hours of Grand Tour Ball in my Seraph Club, while also DJing, only to crash twice within 10 minutes when I moved onto the next locale.Edward Pearsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16064707444626044745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135301473915671680.post-30176870835782751542011-02-20T10:02:51.295-08:002011-02-20T10:02:51.295-08:00Sphynx is right, Mr. Telling--she, her husband, an...Sphynx is right, Mr. Telling--she, her husband, and friends have all told me on frequent occasion that something just doesn't DO that...but it will, on my machine.<br /><br />Case in point: I use Chrome because it's more stable than Firefox on my machine. I don't like it as much as I like Firefox, but it crashes less. And by 'crashes less' I mean it only crashes three to seven times EVERY SINGLE DAY, as opposed to Firefox crashing twenty to fifty times EVERY SINGLE DAY.<br /><br />So far, in my day-plus of using Phoenix, it is remarkably resilient and stable--UNTIL my full inventory loads in. Then it crashes. I restart, go back in, and it laboriously pulls in my inventory--and crashes. At least I know it's the inventory doing it, and not just random hiccups, as in Imprudence's case.<br /><br />So, tomorrow, I start flinging EVERYTHING barring textures and palm trees into boxes. I will do my best to keep SOME hint of organization, but I <i>have</i> to get SERIOUSLY under 50K at least.

I've run into this probably 5-10x a day when I'm actively building. Basically, when it's trying to load a texture long enough, and the texture hasn't loaded already, it gives me >BEWM< crash to desktop. <br /><br />Yes, I should probably save the logs, but when I'm building, and get crashus interruptus looking through textures, my first thought is ARGHLEMMEBACKINDAMMIT. :) <br /><br />My machine is - at this point - near top of the line still. It was top of the line when I got it about 1.5 years ago. In my case I *know* it's not the machine, it's the viewer. Miss Orr has it worse because her machine is old and (I swear!) possessed. :)Sphynx Soleilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08384124029613452884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135301473915671680.post-15572344750235352912011-02-19T19:38:25.599-08:002011-02-19T19:38:25.599-08:00The parcel audio never bothered me, but on my six-...The parcel audio never bothered me, but on my six-year-old Windows XP machine, and the latest experimental version of Imprudence, not being able to teleport without crashing, or log in without seeing "Loading..." or not fully being hooked to the server (when I log in and have no notices and no messages)...something else needed to be done.<br /><br />Of course, I have over 74,000 items in inventory, and why yes, I DO need to cut that back, I just keep getting bogged down in both <i>how</i> and in getting <i>time</i> to do so!Emilly Orrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07245643246821826101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135301473915671680.post-14362157567879387122011-02-19T16:10:16.693-08:002011-02-19T16:10:16.693-08:00I'm not having a lick of trouble with Impruden...I'm not having a lick of trouble with Imprudence, Miss Em... outside of parcel audio not working, but that's easily circumvented by way of a stream URL input to Winamp, and was a "known issue" on release, anyway.<br /><br />Might I inquire after which version of Imprudence, and which OS you're running it on?<br /><br />Oh, and I just happened to think: my Inventory is still, after three-plus years, below 5,000.
