Second_Life_2-8-0-236429 issues ?

[ValidusEquis LittleBoots]

I didn’t have issues with second life viewer before then I installed this update Second_Life_2-8-0-236429. Now one my avs lower legs don’t show at all, it has invisa prims and alpha layer I do believe. In order get them to show up I got too turn off the basic shaders. Another issue I have it big one is when ever I go to my inventory and go to open folder the viewer freezes 5 seconds or more, and if I change avs it dos the same thing. Everything freezes sound the image all of it. So I went back to use an older version I had Second_Life_2-6-9-231165 it works fin now. I tried reinstall the new one still the same issue.

Have you tried the Phoenix Viewer?

[Hitomi Tiponi]

You have highlighted a few of the many known issues that are associated with Viewer 2.8.0.  This is happening because of a rush towards implementing mesh and other features and a poor stream merge and QA process on the Second Life Viewer.

Yes I tried Phoenix got nasty virus had computer cleaned of sed virus. I will never try to install that viewer again.

You might need to update your graphic card drivers or get a new card all together depending on how old it is. Wiki says:

This feature (shadows and shaders) requires an OpenGL 3.0-capable graphics card, such as Nvidia GeForce 8600 and 8800, GTX 2xx, or Radeon HD 4xxxx.

I guarantee that you didn't get the virus from Phoenix, unless you didn't install it from the official phoenix website.

 

Phoenix is the most used TPV on the grid, and either comes close to or exceeds the usage of official LL Viewers. I don't have statistics for the latter however, so I'm not entirely sure.

As this is a question regarding Viewer 2, it might not be so useful to answer it with a recommendation for a Viewer 1 based one

I do not have the probs with Alpha Layers, but the "Inventory Stuttering" is indeed a serious bug. Guess we have to wait till LL fixes this (hopefully VERY soon) and use an older version until then

Graphics card not issue just updated driver right before the second life update I’m running NVIDA Geforse 9100. If others are saying it bug then I am shore it a bug keep using older version of viewer two till they fix it.

I downloaded the phoenix viewer from their web site. The virus was linked to that viewer programming, you can defend it all you wont I’m not saying it was from them directly, but it not worth the risk . So I’m not going to risk loosing hard drive again to try out a viewer one based program to fix bug that be fixed with the next update.

There is no virus in Phoenix. Your virus protection is giving you a false positive.

I tried when it first came out my friends wonted me to use it. I did get a virus warning, but everyone just like you claimed it was a false one. So I downloaded it and then my files started being erased, on top that I was booted as administrator on my computer. It cost me good bit of money to get problem fixed, the repair guy sed it was viruses contracted from program called the Phoenix viewer, and there fore I will never download that program ever again.
