Second Life version 3.5.0. unable to open in a Mac OS 10.7.5.

Yes, this is the problem. The last SL viewer version (3.5.0) does not run on a Mac with this configuration:

Procesador 2 x 2 Ghz DUal-Core Intel

3 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 FB-DIMM

NVIDIA FeForce 7300 GT 256 MB

Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5

What can I do?

thank you verymuch

Hello,

you can disable the hardware check, so the viewer attempts to run even on unsupported hardware:

Open the settings file in a text-editor, it's in the Second Life program folder in the subfolder 'app_settings', and is called 'settings.xml'.

Then search for the setting 'NoHardwareProbe' and change the 'Value' to 1 (true) in the semi-last line of that section, so that the section looks like this:

 

    <key>NoHardwareProbe</key>
    <map>
      <key>Comment</key>
      <string>Disable hardware probe.</string>
      <key>Persist</key>
      <integer>1</integer>
      <key>Type</key>
      <string>Boolean</string>
      <key>Value</key>
      <integer>1</integer>
    </map>

 

Good luck

 

ETA:

If nothing works, you can still use a third party viewer like Radegast or Imprudence, but Imprudence will stop displaying avatars properly in a month or so:

The easiest fix may be to revert to a previous version of SL such as http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Release_Notes/Second_Life_Release/3.3.4

The latest release seems to be hard to run if you don't have Mountain Lion. And, BTW, you don't want to see the ugly orange thingy that was added to the local chat...

You could also file a bug report in the jira.   While I really don't like the way we can't see (or most of us can't) see other people's reports now, I have to say that  all the reports I've filed since they've introduced the new system have received prompt attention.
