| Getting your system info is important to diagnose problems and answer questions like:
| |
| | |
| * What Viewer version am I running?
| |
| * What graphics card do I have?
| |
| * My connection feels laggy, am I experiencing bad packet loss?
| |
| | |
| Here's how to do it:
| |
| | |
| # In the Viewer, go to '''Help''' menu > '''About Second Life'''.
| |
| #* You can do this from the login screen, before logging into Second Life, although certain info like present region and packet loss is only shown when you're inworld.
| |
| # Click the '''Info''' tab (if it isn't already selected).
| |
| # Click '''Copy to Clipboard''' button at the bottom.
| |
| # Paste the info into a text field (like on the Bug Tracker, forum post, support ticket and so on) by using '''Edit''' menu > '''Paste'''. Or use a shortcut: {{k|Ctrl|V}} (PC) or {{k|Cmd|V}} (Mac). | |

| This is written with [https://blogs.secondlife.com/community/answers Second Life Answers] in mind, but broadly applies when asking for technical help:
| |
| | |
| * '''Did you see an error message?''' Provide the exact text, or [[visual communication|take a screenshot]].
| |
| * '''Did someone solve your problem?''' Let them know — a "thank you" can make them feel appreciated, and followup helps others in a similar situation who are searching for answers.
