If you need a specific account refreshed please let me know with an im inworld, and I can get that set up for you (as long as it has been in existence for a few months already). /Sidewinder @130 Bato: We have held off on refreshing the beta preview database since it takes that system offline for 48 hours… If you need a specific account refreshed please let me know with an im inworld, and I can get that set up for you (as long as it has been in existence for a few months already). /Sidewinder

The floating down thing seems VERY similar to when your AV with no flight assist flies above the default "ceiling" and and you discontinue flying upward; it slowly lowers you back down to the "ceiling" again. This seems to be happening now below the "ceiling". Ok; just a simple observance possibly of no relevance….

Could you please IM me inworld with product specifics that do this, and to see a demo?

Nadia, we worked with many vehicle builders, and it is just not a factual statement that all vehicles have major problems on Havok4. The increased motor speeds were discussed at length inworld and on the blog. I worked with several motorcycle builders to tune the system throughout the process. Please provide specific cases in a jira or inworld IM, as this is down to specific scripts that were either written in a way that is very Havok1-specific or other issues at this point. "This way all builders have problems, and it still is our business, please fix that part for us so we can do our business again." I do not know what your business is (builder? vendor?) but please feel free to contact me so that we can understand the specific issues you are seeing. Sidewinder @114 Nadia:

It expires next Monday. But after this latest update, forget it. Another paying-customer lost. While I understand that not all graphics cards will work with SL and apparently mine is one of the untested ones, at least it DID work until this latest release. I now get a message saying SL won't display properly with my card and though it appears ok when I log in, I can't chat. My chat lags in the main areas. I can IM fine, but chat is insanely slow. And to add insult to injury, I can no longer use the old viewer. Everytime I try to log in with it it forces me to update. If I were in the market for a new computer, I would get one. My 2 year old system runs just fine, thank you. I can't speak for anyone else but I WOULD like to chat when I am around other SL residents. I can't IM EVERYONE in a sim. That's just nuts. It was nice while it lasted. I WAS about to extend my membership for a full year. It expires next Monday. But after this latest update, forget it. Another paying-customer lost.
