Dear Second Life Residents,

We are happy to announce the next steps in our efforts to enhance your Second Life experience and performance.

DeltaFPS Viewer (7.1.10) Officially Released

After thorough testing and your valuable feedback, we’re happy to report that version 7.1.10, known as DeltaFPS, is now available for all residents as the official Second Life viewer. This update brings performance enhancements that are on par with our pre-PBR levels, ensuring a smoother and more responsive experience.

What’s new in DeltaFPS?

  • Improved frame rates: You’ll notice smoother movement and transitions, especially in crowded or resource-intensive areas.
  • Bug fixes and stability improvements: We’ve squashed several bugs reported by users during the release candidate phase, making this the most stable version yet.
  • Enhanced rendering: DeltaFPS optimizes how the viewer handles textures and shadows, providing better visual fidelity with less strain on your hardware.
  • Here are the detailed release notes, if you’d like a play-by-play! 

You can download Second Life DeltaFPS (7.1.10) from our official viewer page here. As always, we welcome your feedback, and our team continues to monitor reports and suggestions to ensure that we can make even more improvements going forward.

Firestorm Viewer Update Released

We’re also excited to announce that our collaboration with the Firestorm team has borne fruit! Firestorm has officially released their updated viewer, which incorporates all the performance improvements from Atlasaurus with WebRTC, along with several additional enhancements unique to the Firestorm platform.

Firestorm’s key updates include: 

What’s Next?

With DeltaFPS now fully released we are going to be closely monitoring the performance metrics, and our team is hard at work on ExtraFPS (7.1.11), the next major update designed to push Second Life’s performance beyond previous limits. Stay tuned for more updates on ExtraFPS as we continue testing and refining this release.

Thank you for your continued support, feedback, and patience as we work together to make Second Life better for everyone. We are proud of the strides we’ve made, and we look forward to hearing about your experiences with both Second Life DeltaFPS and the latest Firestorm viewer.

Enjoy your Second Life adventures,
The Second Life Team
