Whats the best Download for sl  on windows 10

[Madelaine McMasters]

Hi Emily,

The best depends on what you want. I recommend having two viewers on your machine, so you can more easily and quickly determine whether any issues you have (and you will have issues) are viewer related, or not.

It's probably a good idea to have the official SL viewer handy, as that's always going to be the most compatible and current. I think the most popular viewer is Firestorm, so you're going to find more people familiar with it. That might be important when you have a question (and you will have questions).

The current release of the Linden Lab viewer, and all the major third party viewers, work just fine with Windows 10.  Download any viewer that says it's for "Windows"...not Mac or Linux...and you'll be fine.

Ok, Thanks so much.

you don't give any usefull information about your system or message you get when downloading, so giving a answer is nearly impossible.

What's not understanding about my comment hmmmm I have windows 10 on my computer I go to the download page and download after it hits 100% it comes up can not download this viewer and that on the viewers weather it 64bit or 32bit I have listed in last comment

It could possibly be your virus software?    

I would head over to the Singularity or Firestorm page (or any other viewer) and see if you can download and install either of those. 

If you can't download anything, it is a computer software issue, not necessarily Win10 and a ton of people have that now. I think the LInden viewer may have an automatic install with it after download?   Not my viewer but getting the error message at the END of the download leads me to believe that. So it could be that the error message isn't quite correct (certainly not a first time there) and that the issue is actually with the install.  Make sure your system conforms to the minimum needed.     Just having Win10 doesn't do it :D. 

 

And regarding viewers, Singularity has always been easier on the system and is good for older machines certainly. It doesn't DO near the things Firestorm can -- and FS is the hardest on systems because of that. The Linden viewer is somewhere in the middle. So it simply depends on what you need to do and what kind of computer set up you have. Happily we have choices.

Also, make sure you have plenty of free disk space and have write access to the folder you are saving the download to.

BTW, what browser are you using that gives this message?  IE? The Edge? Firefox? Chrome?

 

Oh, and what download page are you using?  Using an old link would more likely not even start a download process, tho.

Another thing, are you choosing to save the file or trying to run it from the web?  Save is universally a better option in my opinion.  Not just for SL.

 

Editing again ... can you use the snipping tool in Win 10 to get a screen shot of the error message?

Old thread, BUT W/10 question: I recently tested both Firestorm & Singularity (2017) W/10 x64 viewers. The Singularity viewer is faster, uses a little less RAM (prolonged SL logins)  & uses less hard drive space.Some of you using W/10 Home x64 might want to sift through some of my other posted answers where I share info on how to speed up SL & W/10. Singularity Build 6915:

I have W/10 Home x64 on one pc  on my home network, so I can stay current on W/10 tech.
