Phoenix Firestorm Project - Wiki

Quite often frequent crashing in Pheonix is caused by cache problems. Often this can be solved by setting a unique cache location.

To do so, go to Preferences → Network, and find the box that is labeled “Disk Cache Location.” Next to the box, you will see a button labeled “Set.” Press this. You will then need to decide where to put your new cache:

• Windows: the best place for the new folder is in the same location as the default, the SecondLife folder; it should be given a unique name, for example Phoenix Cache. Log out of SL once it has been set.
• linux/Mac: remember the location, then log out of SL. Locate the cache folder you saw and delete it. Then create a new one, in the same location or where you like, and name it something you will remember, like, Phoenix Cache. Run Phoenix again but before logging in, bring up Preferences → Network again, click the Disk Cache Location Set button and locate the new folder you created.

You will now need to repopulate your inventory:

• Log back into SL, to a quiet region (try aich or hatton). On your inventory window, click “Recent Items”.
• Wait for your inventory to repopulate fully. The process may be sped up by typing random letters into the search bar.
• While inventory repopulates, do not teleport anywhere, and do not attempt to access anything in your inventory. Talk to people or surf the web.
• Watch as it repopulates. as long as you can see (Fetched…) at the top of the inventory window, it is still loading.
• Once inventory has repopulated, log out of SL once more, then log back in.

Please note: This will not fix every instance of frequent crashing. For more tips on crashes and their causes, see here.
