What can you do to help prevent lag?

General Tab
Nothing to set here to reduce lag.

Input & Camera
Nothing to set here to reduce lag.

Network
Maximum Bandwidth:
Disk Cache: 200 MB

Web
Nothing to set here to reduce lag.

Graphics (( Biggest Lag Cause on the Client ))
Quality and Performance - as the bar says Low equals Faster so less lag.
Shaders: Uncheck everything.
Reflection Detail: If every thing above is unchecked then this is greyed out.
Avatar Rendering: Check Avarat Impostors. Ugly looking but reduces the strain on your client.
Draw Distance: 96m or lower.
Max. Particle Count: 512 or lower.
Post Pocess Quality: Low
Mesh Detail: All set to low. *If the Q&P slidebar is set to low, most of these will be too.*
LIghting Detail: Sun and moon only.
Terrain Detail: Low

Audio & Video
Uncheck Play Streaming Music and Play Streaming Media. Even if you aren't listening or watching a video, it is still being sent to you and uses bandwidth.

Text Chat
Nothing to set here to reduce lag.

Voice Chat
They say it doesn't add to lag, so nothing to set here to reduce lag.

Communication
Nothing to set here to reduce lag.

Popups.
Nothing to set here to reduce lag.

Other things to do:
Clear you cache often. *This sometimes fixes other problems as well.*
Remove all unneeded scripted items
Huggers.
Body lighting. *if is too dark, it is better to use World > Enviormental Setting > Midday, then to use a scripted object for lighting. The less scripts running the less the lag.*
Sex HUDs. *if you aren't using it at the moment remove it.*
Shields. *Not premitted to wear anyway.*
Radars. *Not premitted to wear anyway*
Combat Systems. *Not premitted to wear anyway.*


Reduce your bandwidth to 500 or less—go to: edit - preferences -
network.
This setting is super important because it effects everyone around you as well as yourself. If you ever walk by someone and lag out, its probably because their bandwidth is too high. Turn around and mention it to them or IM them, they will end up thanking you for it.
Setting your network bandwidth to 500 won't do shit unless you have a connection speed of 1 megabit or more.
Network bandwidth works on this scale.
• 128k - 256k DSL Modem = Network bandwidth set to 64 or 128
• 512k - 768k DSL Modem = Network bandwidth set to 256 - 384(512 max
with a 768kbps connection)
• 1mb - 3mb DSL/Cable Modem = Network bandwidth to 500 - 1mb
• 3mb and above = Network bandwidth to 1mb. Setting to 1.5 mb does
not markedly change your performance regardless.
The way bandwidth works is you should always allocate one half to two thirds of your available bandwidth to the client. If you're on a low speed DSL and set it to 500 you're choking out your bandwidth and overloading with packets. If you're on a high speed 3 megabit or higher connection and you set it to 500 you're throttling yourself.
