Rainy Foxtrot

I have a Top of the line New imac . There is a BUG that leakes memory that Firestorme . I can Copy The representative conversation the Mac Person working at Firestorm had with Linden Labs. Basically Linden Labs will NOT aknowldge this problem that MANY Mac users are having. http://jira.phoenixviewer.com/browse/FIRE-11675 . You could contact Firestorm Mac representatives and i am sure they will give you the direct name of the person that replied back at that time thay they are NOT working on it and do not see it as a problem. However, it is a HUGE problem for Mac users even using Lindens own viewer. My FPS are pathetic 20fps and at times 6 fps. then if i am all alone on a skybox my FPS will shot up to 120. The suggestion from the people at Firestorm who really will do their best to interact and help you ...... while you give your money to LL and they don't care if you have dumped over 5,000 in this game they will not get back to you and if they do it will be a computer generasted answer.... Firestorm real live people IM you and suggest using other 3rd party viewers ... That sucks because you do NOT get all the bells and whistles of The Firestorm viewer. I can run Firestorm on my imac. on Lindins it is bad. and firestorm is not as fast as what it was;ast year for mac users ... SO google Second Life third party Viewers and see which ones you have the most succes with they are pretty bare bones . Yet you will be faster and have higher FPS. Catznip, is good , singularity has a good one for mac called KOKUA. I like that BUT I shop using Alchamy. I am very picky about my settings. As far as it goes. I always played SL on a PC ....they are cheap as **bleep** and you can build one for very little. I build my last one 4 years ago and NOTHING BUT games where on that PC. I would never trust a PC with my Pics , My Music My videos. That doesnt mean i won't order a few parts and slap a PC together. YET a mac is a far better quality computer. Do not expect Apple to work with Linden Labs tech they will not. You can play every single other game with just as fast results on a mac aside from SL. The problem all started when Mesh clothing came to town. i love mesh ..... SL and Macs doo NOT run as great as they do on a windows . I have invested time and money and friendships in this game and to me...... i dont think building a PC for 500 bucks is a bad deal. yet i still am playing it on my imac at this time waiting for partds to come in and i'd suggest using third party viewers and try them all . even Firefox check you FPS that is really what slows you down or crashes you thre most and make your settings low, I can run ultra on my imac yet it i run it at med and change the lighting to FSoriginal i jack up my cache to 512 and bandwith to 1500. i have 2 Gb dedicated to my graphics and 16 GB of ram and an i7 and tbh have an i7 doesnt mean a thing for gaming in sl you can do just as well with a i5. unless you will have sl open and graphics and photoshop and design programs alll at the same time an i7 wouldnt do much ...... try the other viewers and mess with the settings it isnt your mac it is second life and i have been in this game since 2008 and it has always sucked on a mac BUT it sucks even worse ow!!! od seeing the new macs are all intel core go figure!!!!!!
