1. Has Anybody Else Noticed That Stability is Horrible Lately?

   Summary & New Consideration It seems many of us are having problems. The consistent point is the problems are not consistent per viewer. Not all Win10-11 Firestorm users have the problem. Not all those using the SL Default Viewer are safe from the problem. We know that is true because so few are here complaining. I remember when the Grid would actually have a problem and hundred of people would be posting or reading posts (you can see the views count skyrocket) within an hour. That is not happening. If it were a problem with the viewer and OS combination, most of the users on that combination would have the problem. They don't. I was on for 4 hours Friday afternoon in a crowded club, streaming music, dancing, flirting... no problems. (Win11 Pro - Firestorm Beta - Intel - SoCal) I did not see mentioned of RL geo-location. Consider: US Gov Issued Warnings Multiple U.S. government agencies have recently issued public warnings and alerts about elevated cyber threats and potential cyberattacks inside the U.S. Examples from 2025–2026 include: NSA and partner agencies posting joint cybersecurity advisories on hostile state-linked actors targeting U.S. critical infrastructure and routers. CISA and the FBI issuing a public service announcement in March 2026 warning about ongoing phishing campaigns by Russian intelligence‑linked actors targeting U.S. officials, military personnel, political figures, and journalists. The Department of Homeland Security warning U.S. citizens to stay alert for potential cyberattacks and hacking attempts. The House Homeland Security Committee publishing a “Cyber Threat Snapshot” in November 2025 that describes sharply rising cyber threats to U.S. critical infrastructure and state/local governments. Without knowing where in the RL world one is, it makes it hard to know if one is in an attach zone or not. In SoCal we have had power outages where the power company is all 'Gee, I don't know what happened. Must have been one of the automatic safely shut downs.' Right. The Iranians have been in a 'declared' war with the US for almost 40 years. The Chinese have had their 100-year-plan running step-by-step for almost 100 years now and have been in a state of 'Unrestricted Warfare' with the US for about the last 20. Look it up... With those things in mind, I would look at the network for the cause of the problems. Especially since the problems are intermittent and inconsistent. At the least report your general location so we can see if there is a pattern.

4. Trying to find these items that were deleted, or find stores with a similar vibe? Little animated doohickeys

   Well I think the heart there on the right of the door is ' Love at first sight ' by Trixy Laville.. cos I have one .. I would definitely shoot them an instant message... it is possible they made the others.. they have a little shop at Garden of Fallen angels http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Forest%20of%20Nadria/169/41/4002 where you can currently get that heart.. but I don't know if they have a larger store

5. Freeze and low Fps with 591.86 WHQL

   I haven't noticed this specific to the NVidia driver myself, but have no clue how close my Windows system may be to yours? I was on 591.86 with no issues. I updated the day the app advised 595.97 Game Ready was available, and have had no issues since. Both drivers in Firestorm and Default viewer on Wifi in a 2-story home router on 1 floor me on the other, I predictably get 150-185 fps using default settings, except for 4-5 specific edits. E.g. I usually choose to cap my fps to 60. Viewer? Wifi? Memory? At one point many years back I installed the Razer Cortex (RC) app > Added my Firestorm (FS) viewer to its list of RC games > start FS from within that RC game list > let the app use its Game Booster to turn off a somewhat nice sized list of stuff that I will never need running while using SL, to free up memory. It pops up how much memory it saves turning off that list (default) of stuff I don't need running when I start FS from within it. And when I shut down FS like I always do from the menu, the Razer Cortez app turns all that stuff back on again. It shows you in a notification how much memory was freed up/restored each time. I believe this has helped me. You may want to consider it. One last mention. I had a brief "disconnects" issue with SL throughout the day earlier this year. Nothing else but SL had any problem. I tracked it down to reports of a WIFI issue for some related to a Realtek driver, leading to a Realtek driver update, which update driver Windows placed in my Optional bin rather than in my regular updates. I Went to optionals > saw it there and installed it, and not one disconnect since. And the disconnects were wierd - like slowly one by one different things would quit "communicating" in the viewer over a few minutes, inventory first, and and then suddenly everything else disconnected. I changed nothing else, nothing router, viewer, etc. except the Realtek optional update. So if you are on Wifi, and no problems prior, you may find it worth the ten seconds to check your WU optional list to see if anything is there, to rule out any Wifi wierdness.
