Please Help Us SQUASH Our TP BUG!

If you're like me. you've experienced a few more crashes than usual lately while teleporting. This is because we've got a teleport (TP) bug that we need to nip in the bud, and we need YOU to help us fix it!


!! BEFORE YOU RELOG or RESTART !!
PLEASE GATHER INFORMATION & THE VIEWER LOG FILES TO SEND TO US
Anytime that you experience a crash after teleporting, please write down the following information:

• The avatar name you were using;


• The date and approximate time of the crash (if it is your local time, then be sure to include which time zone you are in);


• The Start and Destination regions for the teleport;


• The Viewer you are using (Standard, Plug-In, or Phoenix-SpotON);


• Your Computer's Operating System (e.g. Win7, MacOS 7.1, etc.)

ALSO, before you relog or restart your viewer again, please capture your viewer’s LOG FILES. These are files that are stored in a special system folder on your local computer. The log files can be found in one of the following locations:

• Win XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<(your Windowsuser name)>\Application Data\SpotON3D\logs


• Vista or Win 7: C:\Users\<(your Windowsuser name)>\AppData\Roaming\SpotON3D\logs

• $HOME/Library/Application Support/SpotON3D/logs
  (may be tricky to find for 10.7 users)

• $HOME/.spoton3d/logs
