It hurts my soul seeing these low latency, high frame rate hoofball clips. I can barely hit 40fps in most areas as is
Like I can't play like this. It is, physically, SCIENTIFICALLY impossible for me to play like this (I live far away from San Francisco or wherever the fuck SL servers are)

https://files.catbox.moe/6m3dvu.mp4

>>42309160
Other team did good too!

HQ (1080p60): https://files.catbox.moe/33cbc7.webm

>>42309179
That's the main reason I fell off from hoofball very early on. If you're competing with players that just so happen to live closer to SL's servers, you're in disadvantage. And if you happen to live in another continent entirely, then you'll be spending the whole game trying to chase where the ball was 2 seconds ago. I'll just leave it to the low ping popens.

>>42309192
Did you or anypony else record last weeks hoofball match?

>>42309193
This can be overcome by just playing more and getting a feel for it. You can overcome the connection issue and play very competitively. Hind is about as far as you can get from the servers and does very well. Tired of having the skills of others diminished just because others are under the impression they're only good because of the ping or frame rate.

>>42309193
Same thing with SLMC, or any game in SL that requires quick reflexes.
It's really is a shame since I love Hoofball. Like it's hoofball! With ponies! What's not to love about it?

>>42309192
HQ (1080p60 uncut): https://files.catbox.moe/h8i2vx.webm

>>42309198
nope, sorry.

>>42309193
Reason it looks so smooth is NOT because I get these frames ingame, but because I record using hardware encoding. Straight from gfx card to video without silly things like my computer's ability to actually perform that well.

>>42309224
Exactly. Everyone is shit until they get used to it. Powys aren't so good that 50ms of latency is the difference between players. There are other ways to be a great player: awareness, positioning, ball control. I'd rather take a player who has these down than crisp ping and self-practiced trickshots. You don't get good shots like these consistently without teamwork and knowing where to be.

>>42309224
No one's diminishing anyone's skill based on how low their ping is. Low latency gameplay is how it's SUPPOSED to be and the ponies that are skilled ARE very competent and that's good on them! The thing that fucks with most is that it's just frustrating to deal with lag and latency which often makes you feel like you're not doing your best in the game.

>>42309245
>Powys aren't so good that 50ms of latency is the difference between players.
Ok, but how about 200ms with the occasional lag spike that puts it at 700ms and also not being able to run the viewer at more than 20 FPS?

At this point there should be a notice at the stadium pertaining how to get good FPS.

>>42309224
>>42309245
My problem is that yes I could train to try to predict the ball, but it's still CBT trying to e.g. use the shoot gesture 1/3rd of a second early every time. And even if with enough practice this becomes possible, you're still permanently at a disadvantage when e.g. somepony else shoots the ball and you can only see where it actually went and react 1/3rd of a second later.

Of course having low ping is not a free pass, you still need to actually develop skills in the game itself, learn how the physics behave, etc. It's just that you can actually focus on those things, while I would first have to focus on lerning to time everything an arbitrary fraction of a second earlier in order to be able to get anything done at all. It is painful and annoying and aggravating.

I've played some other video games on 150-200 ping, and it's always painful, but it's much more bearable when you know how to play the game in the first place and you have to adjust to the new timing. The opposite, trying to learn the game AND the weird fucking timing at the same time, is pure CBT and I will stand by that.
Also don't forget that normal games tend to have some netcode compensation so even high ping is synchronised to not look too horrible; SL's netcode is so amazing that players don't even see each other in the same places, let alone compensating for any kind of movement or physics.

>>42309245
HQ version with sound so you can hear everyone spamming gestures (1080p60): https://files.catbox.moe/ac8k0b.webm

>>42309251
When the lag spikes come, it's usually server lag. And that fucks up everyone, not just you. See video.

There's other things you can do to get better frames, though, and you only need to do it while you play! Go full potato mode. turn a bunch of settings down. Stop using firestorm and use alchemy for the fps boost. Close external programs. etc. 20 frames is kinda not great, but it's playable, and I bet you can juice it up to at least 30, which is golden.I used to play at ~22-30 fps for ages until I optimized my frames, not for playing, but so I could record better without adding more lag.

And just checked my ping, I have 90-110ms to the server on average, with spikes up to 180. The ball also got a boost to its listening range last week, so it's easier to hit with higher ping.

>>42309264
It's not just lag, when I play the ball straight up freezes or teleports around sometimes.

>>42309300
Forgot to mention, that's the last clip!

>>42309264
>>42309308
See the above post re: hitting the ball early.
Ball not staying smooth/freezing/stuttering is a SETTINGS problem. Turn your draw distance up a bit and don't lower your object detail too low or the ball can de-render when too far from you, causing the ball stutter. Also keep it in view as much as you can! Upping FoV helps with it!

The ping "disadvantage" isn't a problem until you reach peak powy performance. And since you don't even try to play, I can guess that you're not at peak powy performance.

>>42309300
>Go full potato mode. turn a bunch of settings down.

>>42309324
>Turn your draw distance up a bit and don't lower your object detail too low
B-but... draw distance and object details are 2 of the things that impact my performance the most...

>The ping "disadvantage" isn't a problem until you reach peak powy performance.
It is a problem for me, because it makes the game frustrating to play. When it comes to games within SL, I'd rather just stick to turn-based games where high and low ping players are in an equal playing field.

>>42309337
>>go full potato mode
Yes, unironically. If youre not willing to sacrifice visuals on SECOND LIFE (already looks like dogshit) then don't know what to tell you. Turn off shadows, drop the view distance to around 60 meters.

>>42309339
photopopens are able to make SL look pretty good, don't know what you're talking about. there's even a whole viewer that has the sole purpose of being able to take good photos. for many players, SL is all about getting good-looking pictures with the 3D assets available in-game.

>>42309350
>SL is all about getting good-looking pictures with the 3D assets available in-game.
Which you will not be doing if you're actively playing a competitive game type. That's also not true for ponies who don't take a lot of pictures but that's a different topic of discussion.

>>42309339
Do NOT drop it to 60. The field is around 100 by itself, and the ball will be extra distance above you. I keep it above 120-150. lower your max # non-imposters, instead. Has pretty much the same effect without fucking up the ball.

Also, another thing worth doing: put your viewer on an SSD and make sure the cache is on the same drive (the SSD). Shit will load faster, which reduces texture lag etc.

>>42309356
The field's exact dimensions are about 49m end to end, 35m wide and 30m to the cieling. At no point will you ever be near 100m away from the ball at any given time in normal play. 64m is a perfectly fine draw distance setting for firestorm for hoofball.

>>42309127
I loaf you all ponies!

>>42309361
For reference if you're trying to play hoofball and your view distance is over 120m or even 150, you're rendering almost the entirety of baltimare when you look towards the hangout.

>>42309361
Hmmm, I was told it was about 100 end to end. I also CAN confirm that I regularly get ball derendering with the draw distance at 100 exactly. Reducing the non-imposter count is very good at avoiding lag from looking across the sim.

>>42309381
I know because I measured it myself. It's nowhere close to 100m. And I've never had the ball derender on me, I just keep it on my screen and I'm good to go.

For the fps - AMD popens, 5700 xd3 CPU for 147$ easily will give you more or less stable 30+ fps even in Balti

>>42304792 (OP)
I wish someone came up with something better than second life. It truly works like garbage. For a long time I thought my machine is shit, but now I have a silly expensive station, and the thing truly is laggy, buggy, slow and looks like garbage.

>>42309394
It will never happen.
The time of the experiments ended in 2010

>>42309394
it's a 22 year old platform so idk why people keep expecting machine upgrades are going to improve much
but also, idk, it looks pretty good for a 22 year old platform and there's a lot more freedom for users than others in lieu of.. i.e. VRC and bobox

>>42309385
For the height, how did you measure it? the cage goes up much higher than the stadium walls look

captcha: AWSAD

>>42309401
I used a plain object and stretched it until it was at the roof collider. the object dimensions are in meters and my method wasn't perfect but it is within 0.5m.

>>42309390
>Want good performance? Just use good hardware!

>>42309361
this assumes you have full object detail at full draw distance

>>42309385
>>42309421
I guess I should clarify -- when I say derender I don't mean completely disappear. I mean get reduced from full complexity, which is what causes the ball to "freeze".

>>42309430
The only time this has ever happened for me is when it leaves my screen and gets culled but this only happens when the ball is bouncing back and forth in low earth orbit.

>watch somepopen
>get really invested in what they're doing
>they disconnect
I'm angry

>>42309432
>bouncing back and forth in low earth orbit
As it do

MAREBOX HAPPENING EXPECT A SHORT ONE MAYBE NOT IM STILL NOT SURE JOIN IN

>>42309381
My guess is that the entire stadium, from sim boundary to the far parcel end could be close to 100, if the field makes up around 50% of that, 64 would be more than enough accounting for height
I'm reasonably confident even a crusty old laptop I could pull 20+ FPS on firestorm 6.6 if the settings were 64 render distance, LOD 4, 8 avatars with shadows etc disabled.

I also keep hearing alchemy runs the best but it's by far the worst for me, which makes me wonder if there's massive changes in viewer optimization not just between brands of hardware but between CPU generations.

>>42309410
I'm not even bothered by the performance. Other than the ponies looking perfectly fuckable the interface is absolute garbage. I wouldn't mind paying more if the thing was actually useable.

>>42309390
If you don't have a problem with stuttering currently, then a better deal would be the 5800xt for only 3 dollars more, and you get waaaaay more performance. x3d processors are kind of a scam unless you really need the 3d cache.

who has a album or photos of the mare fair mascots in popen form

I'd be more than happy with settings to speed her up without losing some of the quality you popens love.

>>42309967
I feel like restrict texture resolution to 1024 won't hurt visuals too much but that's really only a texture cache / VRAM tweak AFAIK

For scenes like the hangout, object LOD 3 won't hurt, but likely won't improve much, 96 or 128 view distance will cut off some of horse heights rendering in from balti hangout which could help way more though.

The only other setting I don't view as entirely necessary for looking nice is max nearby lights, but I've also not messed with it to test performance or noticeable dip in visuals, I just figure "1000 lights sounds like plenty" and haven't cared to look into it more than that.

>>42309967
I would reduce sky/terrain/tree quality and reflection detail to static + dynamic, restrict texture resolution to 1024, and maybe lower render distance

>>42309987
>>42309991
I'm thinking of the other suggestions, but render distance is a non-starter, people like their FAR AWAY HORSE videos

>>42309993
makes sense. i would not reduce the LOD in that case

>repeated yippees

>>42309324
>Turn your draw distance up a bit and don't lower your object detail too low or the ball can de-render when too far from you, causing the ball stutter. Also keep it in view as much as you can! Upping FoV helps with it!
I can try this, if it helps then great, but it still won't fix the fact that all my inputs are lagging by a noticeable amount.

>The ping "disadvantage" isn't a problem until you reach peak powy performance.
Uh no. Maybe it's only a "disadvantage" in terms of actual performance at that point. But it's absolutely a disadvantage in terms of making all the gameplay fucking painful rather than enjoyable.
As in, maybe if I had zero ping (and SL had zero script/server lag as well) I, right now, would be an equally useless teammate. In fact that's almost certain. But: in such a scenario, I would actually enjoy playing and trying to hit the ball, and I'd be able to have a feedback loop letting me improve faster ("I hit the ball wrong -> next time I'll adjust this", "I was in the wrong place for this shit -> next time I'll think better about where to position myself"). Even just the basic fact that it would be pleasant to play rather than deeply unpleasant would be a huge advantage.

Right now though, my feedback loop is more like "I didn't hit the ball -> I gotta react 250ms earlier next time", "I was wrongly positioned -> well I had no fucking clue where the ball was going so I should learn the entire ball physics to be able to predict them in my head before even being able to begin to play", "I missed the airshot -> well fuck me I gotta jump 250ms early AND hit the ball 250ms early AND predict its airborne trajectory 250ms ahead entirely in my head". These are not things that make for a tight feedback loop for quick improvement, and more importantly, these are not enjoyable things to try to improve.

By the way, I do realise that server lag affects everypony, and I'm pretty sure there's a noticeable delay in SL's scripting and physics too (though I can't tell for certain because my normal ping isn't exactly great). But the fact that it affeccts everypony doesn't make it less unpleasant to deal with. Yeah, going from 20ms ping to 60ms is probably more noticeable than going from 160ms to 200ms, but that doesn't mean it doesn't affect me; 200ms is still worse than 160, and still way worse than 60.
Some ponies have learned and good for them, but my point is that it feels awful, unpleasant, and like bashing my head against a rock. Hoofball looks fun, but when I actually play it it's emphatically not, and I guess I'm just not dedicated enough to spend hours on CBT just to see if it actually eventually gets fun once I practice enough.

>>42309385
>I just keep it on my screen and I'm good to go.
Question, what happens if you need to go backwards (e.g. a shot is coming towards your side, you're positioned very forwards, and want to go help defend)?

>>42309993
After a lot of time adjusting sliders I am sad to say it appears firestorm's framerate is entirely stored in the render distance.
I stole camareas settings and got similar results in framerate, 7fps.
For my test I kept render distance and sun/moon shadows, everything else was cut or lowered and the best I could scrape without having tested a viewer restart was 10fps.
What surprised me most was dropping object LOD to 0 did nothing to improve my frames despite the entire sim looking like single faced triangles.

>>42309224
>Hind is about as far as you can get from the servers and does very well.
He generally does very well since he adjusted to the latency well where it is possible. You can see him rage when he's the goalie though and that's exactly where you have pretty much no chance of compensating lag. Being a goalie with high ping is absurdly brutal. Only the hardest popens can endure this.

>>42309955

F - firestorm
Just use Alchemy already, Anon

>>42310341
I keep hearing this but I keep telling ponies that - at least on any machine I've been able to configure settings for - it's on average half the frame rate as both black dragon and firestorm when using comparable settings and half as stable when doing anything besides sit still.
The one time I tried using alchemy and asked people why teleporting quartered my frame rate for 5 minutes they said "alchemy moment", so I either charitably figure it's vastly different hardware optimizations OR I go with my gut assuming half the playerbase just like "out the box" experiences and complain when default ultra is running bad at 256 render distance.
And that's not even accounting for the 90+ fps with shadows if I drop PBR and run firestorm 6.6

I for one am completely fine with Camarea not having super smooth frame rates.
As >>42309993 correctly claimed, I definitely NEED my far away horses and turning down view distance would be a disaster for me.
I'm just glad I can see so far ahead in the stream and that the stream runs quite stable especially considering the high settings it is running and the old hardware

It's kinda like the "universal game" or online life all those meme companies nowadays try to "invent" with LE METAVERSE. Too bad a silly little 3D online chat called Second Life was doing that already over 2 fucking decades ago and is still around.

If you're forward you're probably an attacker and just have to leave it to your defense, since if you abandon your position to assist in defense your position is now empty and you wont be able to take advantage if the ball lands there.

>>42313217
thank you king

>>42313211
Why?
If you have set your PC up correctly it should only draw like 20 to 50 watts from the plug while turned on idling.
If you're away for hours running your SL on full blast window focus with all monitors on 100% brightness then well, it's not even flexing it's just literally burning money

>>42313226
nta but any suggestions for optimizing idle eeping time?

>>42313226
I've measured it and mine does pull about 40-50W at idle with SL minimised. So let's assume 45W average.
Assuming you'd normally play games/SL for around 6 hours a day, during those 18 hours I end up using 0.81KW/h. My current electricity prices are around $0.35/kWh so that's about $0.28/night.
It's not debilitating but it's still $100 a year. It's not nothing. Sure, most people can probably afford it if they really wanted to, but for a lot of people it's also a non-negligible amount of money.

>>42313200
that's extra $5 you could also be spending on something else

you're just bragging about being a dumbass

>>42313241

>>42313229
Go to:
>Preferences -> Advanced -> "Amount of time, in milliseconds, to yield every frame blabla"
Autistic description of time between frames when Firestorm is not in focus. So either when you're clicking around in some other window like your browser or when you have Firestorm minimized.
I usually have it set to 500ms, so 2FPS. You could even set it to 1000ms between frames, so 1FPS. Everything inside FS will keep working as usual, so you'll still get messages, hear stuff etc just the viewport will update slower. The moment you get FS back up and in focus it will be back to your normal FPS. It's also fun to compare the CPU load between Firestorm in foreground and having it minimized. On my PC with that setting it idles between 0 and 1% CPU and GPU load.
So with that setting you just minimize FS to the taskbar before sleep. Done.

BONUS:

Especially in summer I also suggest limiting your FPS if you don't need them on full speed (for example when just chatting. Especially nice for laptop users).
By default Firestorm will always try to squeeze as much out of your PC as possible to run """fast""" which usually means your shit will spool up like a jet engine when you run FS.
Try to set your FPS as low as possible and see if you still enjoy it. You WILL notice your shit will run a lot cooler (and with it quieter and needing less electricity).
>Preferences -> Graphics -> Rendering tab -> checkmark on "Limit Framerate" FPS: (maybe 30?)

For example if I don't limit my FPS there it will try to reach 60 to +80FPS and make my GPU go absolutely crazy. If I set it to 30 (which is more than enough for me) it is barely noticeable in the charts and everything runs incredibly cool as if I'm just running a text editor or something. The KINDA high FPS isn't worth all the heat, electricity and noise for me especially in SL where I just wanna chill most of the time.

>>42313261
someone doesnt watch enough financebro videos

>>42313267
Is there a way to limit fps outside of the viewer itself? I use alchemy which doesn't have a limit option

>>42313319
It sure does, I don't remember what it's called but it's in the debug options, try searching for "yield" or "frame" or "backround" or "focus"

>>42313325
It does for when you're tabbed out, but there's no way to limit the actual fps while its active in the viewer from what I've seen. The best I've found is using vsync but even then it doesn't always stay at 60. They had the option but it says the option doesn't work anymore

>>42313352
Ah right.

>>42313319
Don't know, sorry.
Maybe some graphics drivers support limiting frames for individual applications but yeah, no idea, sadly.
If I remember correctly that FPS limit setting in FS is a relatively new feature (I don't think that was there in the 2010s) and maybe Alchemy will have it too if you ask them for it

>>42315418
"Worst" sounds like it was bad. It wasn't bad, it was just more boring than most.
Some ponies certainly enjoyed it, but at the time it sounded like I wasn't the only one who quickly got bored and didn't bother coming up much into the city build after the initial photoshoot.

The actual lore with the party getting a protest that led into the colors being restored afterwards was cool.

>>42314814
>"Not sure what the appeal is"
>Lists appealing feature
what did he mean by this? I want her to be mean to me

I think some were just really thirsting for colors.
The event happened at the end of quite a few kinda dark themed events plus it was still only just turning spring after a long winter. Maybe it was just a bit much for some

>>42315461
That's why the subsequent colorexplosion and spring feels so nice.
I am actually a fan of the lore building efforts and tension+release

with the amount of gooning tugi does im surprised he hasn't been captured by the Korean government as a solution to for declining birth rates

HOLY FUCK THAT RESTART TENSION WAS MAKING ME SWEAT

>>42315472
balti came back just in time

>>42315418
I was one of the guys who was skeptical early on, but that was mostly due to a creative block in trying to figure out my own outfit. I ended up participating and having fun with it.

No u

What would be a good mane style for an overly effeminate stallion no difference there then lmao I'm looking for something semi-short but still girly to balance the fact he's a faggot stallion made to be bullied and the fact he's pretty much as mare as can be without having the bits of one.
>just make a mare
don't wanna

>>42316335
Any number of the mare bun styles would work, I'd think.

>>42316335
Depends on your tastes and most people have shit taste, unlike me of course. I'd say design your effeminate faggot stallion to where it's obviously a stallion. Otherwise it's just a mare that occasionally sports a horsecock. Which is if anything even gayer.

are you even the same anon who complained about this like two threads ago before I made it worse?

>>42316508
>>42316541
NTA but the bright green is mediocre. It clearly looks intentionally different, and could even be mistaken for just a piece of colourful pony architecture.
The subtle off-brown colouring that was just different enough to be noticeable, but not so much as to violently clash, was much more kino.

That is "normal time" dumbass.
SLT is a common point of easy reference for all of us. The onus is on you to perform the necessary calculation.

Did Lav get fatter? wtf

Thank you Tetsu
>who keeps hurling her into the water anyway
Tea somehow developed a fetish for insulting Camarea while trying to drown her in the pond for some unknown reason

>>42317752
Considering camarea isn't the only one, I'm convinved that Tea isn't a pony

Tea is in fact a fucking kelpie

>>42317760
I don't know man...
Kelpies usually don't wear a glass bowl filled with the STINKIEST brackish water imaginable while having a shark tail coming out their butts

>>42317763
sounds close enough to me

Thank you.

n-nani?!

marebox right now owow

why do I get jannied when I have a few ponies in my parcel cuddling but when spotton has more than I usualy do he's fine?

>>42318126
I've never seen anyone getting jannies for having ponies cuddling in their parcel. That rule was basically made to prevent off-sim tourists gathering in a party in their little clique and never actually using the rest of Baltimare, not to prevent Balti residents in good standing from piling into each other's homes

>>42318140
its happened to me about 3 times because I had 5+ ponies in my parcel

>>42318146
Who was the seething janny?

>>42318140
>to prevent off-sim tourists gathering in a party in their little clique and never actually using the rest of Baltimare,
Has this even happened one single time? Also, that's funny, considering 99% of the time people are at the firepit and the Friday DJ location, and nowhere else.

>>42318190
the rule did have precedence to be set in place, yes

>>42318126
Ball haver privilege, tea lets more things slide if you have balls

>>42318231
just you wait I'm going to no balls gather a bunch of ponies in my parcel and not get jannied

>>42318170
It's one of the oldest Baltimare hoaxes and someone was bored enough to dig it out again.

>>42318195
>>42318248
Well which one is it you gossiping little tarts

>>42318253
That's easy to determine.
The place has been around for over 3 years now.
Think about how many times you have seen +5 popens in one private parcel.
And now try to remember all the times there were big scandals about popens getting the ban hammer for having so many popens in their home.

>>42314937
Oh hey I remember what I was doing in this pic ! That means uh.. there's some uh... Ahem

>>42318265
thanks I just noticed them

>>42318190
Not that I've heard. I think it was initially put in place back when Rose had a plan to let normgroids and furries and tourists rent on the sim, presumably to help make money, and the 4chan-ness rules would be primarily enforced in public spaces only. So you had the "no alternate hangouts" rule to prevent some furry from renting a parcel and just having a dozen furfags over at all times.

Another half of the motivation was that we were all used to only having a hangout and nothing else, and ponies were afraid that with an entire sim, everypony would spread out and the central area would look empty. There's precedent in other sims - if you look at common areas in LE for example, it's usually borderline dead, and most people on-sim are sitting in their rentals.
Of course that turned out not to be a problem, half because LE has almost no "community" so to speak so people only go there because it's where their rental is in the first place; and half because almost everypony loves visitors anyway so even when a dozen ponies crash at somepony's place, nopony minds that it's not at the hangout, and ponies fondly talk about "popen gravity" even.

>>42318267
Np ;)

Yea, this is a widespread SL problem. Baltimare avoids it partly because we're (mostly) not traditional SL players

>>42313606
this is so cute
