​
✪ About possible lag in Orchard Heights ✪
Orchard Heights has been created with a lot of detail and we currently have 17 connected sims. For some this can pose some instance of lag. If you are experiencing this, please make the following simple changes to your graphic settings and it should help alleviate you some of your lag:
​
1. Make sure your drawing distance is below 100. This is defaulted at 200+ in your standard settings. This means that your viewer will attempt to to load a lot of detail all at once.
2. Increase your cache memory to at least 6000. In your standard settings this is usually between 2000 and 3000. Increasing it will give all of our lovely details some space in your memory. ;-)
3. Use medium graphic settings.
​
Drawing distance and the increasing cache can be played around with. The lower the drawing distance the lesser details the viewer has to load. The higher the cache is, the more space there is for loading in the mesh, textures and such. Dont put it on max if you dont have to, unless you are on LOW graphic settings, then use the max.
​
Clearing all of your caches will help to. Cache settings can be found on 3 locations in your settings.
Go to Network and Files. Go to tab Directories.
Then you hit the button Clear Inventory Cache, then hit the button underneath there Clear Cache. Then apply. When you did this, you go to the tab Connection, there you hit Clear Browser Cache. Hit apply.
​
By simply adjusting settings you should be less laggy but if you are still experiencing lag and would like to address it please do not hesitate to contact owner Aiden Tigra( aidentigra ), he will gladly help you make some further adjustments to fix it.
