Impero Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Greetings everyone!Since the new Viewer 2.7.1 version has been released, I can't play SL anymore.I read a lot of threads but none was refering to this issue, and my computer isn't the oldest between the SL fans.If we take a look to "Minimum/Recommended Requirements" we can see that this game can work on a ancientcomputer configuration. Then, my question is, why SL can't be played with this new version?I reinstall the older version but once I opened the game the new version was installed automatically.I have not made any changes to my computer, it's ok for SL to be played without any problem but it still doesn't want to work. How should I play this game again? I miss the old times when everything goes so wonderful...Many Thanks for any bright and useful answer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alazarin Mondrian Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Try one of the TPV's. Phoenix Firestorm is a good one to try. There are others but I don't keep up with TPV developments as I'm one of the LL viewer users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impero Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 Ok! Thank you! I'll try this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynda Klossovsky Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Actually, I found with kirstens viewer, that the newer releases only worked with dual core or newer pc's, as for my linux pentium 4, i cant get any sl viewer at all to work on it now.. lol but yes, in my opinion i think LL should upgrade the specs page. (edit..i have ubuntu linux, and upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04, and now SL won't open.. hmmm.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crissy Draper Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 This crap should have never gone live. It still crashes as much as the development/mesh viewer. I'm switching to Firestorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveAngeL Lyre Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Hello impero. Download again the previous edition of Viewer 2 and when you log in immidiately set your software updates NO to be installed automatically. (Preferences --> Setup --> Hardware).

Impero Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 Thank you LoveAngel! Honestly, I never saw that option in Preferences before, but I'm sure that will help me keep the older version still on. ...Yes! That helped LoveAngel! Thanks again! Also, previous Phoenix View version work. The last one doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impero Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 As for Phoenix Firestorm, it act just like the SL Viewer. I'm getting the same error messages and the game does not start. Linden Lab should think that not everyone in this huge world have the latest type of computers, as long as this game is an interactive and international. So, Linden Lab People, when you create something do it for everyone! And, also, testing it before releasing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansariel Hiller Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 What CPU do you have? Latest SL viewer requires a SSE2 capable CPU as well as Firestorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
