Reduce In-Game Lag Time

If none of the above works, make sure that you have the most up-to-date video card drivers, and make sure that your rig meets or preferably exceeds the minimum system requirements for Second Life. For example, if your computer runs on diesel, saves your data to cassette tape or starts with a lawnmower pull, it may be time for an upgrade.

For business owners looking to reduce lag in their business or club, you might want to consider restricting scripts in your land settings to owners group members, and not allowing particle effects and flashy bling, as these can contribute to lag. You can also try and keep people's use of sound gestures down to a minimum, as this can ease lag and keep me from having to put a pen in my ear to get the sound of Lord and Master out.

You can also limit the number of objects with physics, and simplify your builds as much as possible. If none of that works, consider moving to a quieter sim where you'll end up with a higher percentage of the system resources. Or you could remove your 1,200 camp chairs. Just a thought.

That's it for this episode! So until next time, remember, it's not French. It's "Freedom English."
