[FPS drop after updating Viewer]

Did you follow the advice on the Firestorm website before choosing (no one was forced) to.download the PBR viewer?    

Don't attempt to mislead people in this thread. Firestorm has laid out their plan on only supporting the previous 3 builds. It's only a matter of time before all users are forced to download their PBR viewer where the lighting is overly harsh, the performance is worse than Cyberpunk 2077 at launch and Firestorm's cheerleaders like you are in absolute denial that their own Jira is useless in addressing issues.

Thanks for the link. They tried to hide this by providing this link https://wiki.firestormviewer.org/doku.php?id=downloads at the https://www.firestormviewer.org/windows/ frontend.

[FPS drop after updating Viewer]

I was forced to install a newer version of Firestorm even though the dated version was stable and ran very well. Got fed up, installed 7.1.9 (74745) and had a horrendous experience despite having the following PC hardware:

i7-3700F
32gb Crucial DDR5-5600
RTX 4080
Samsung Evo 980

It was 100% not a hardware issue but either Firestorm messed up, or the base binaries provided by Linden was hot garbage. But neither did it help that Firestorm reps or devs in the inworld Firestorm support channel swore up and down that everything was alright even though my PC was struggling at 12FPS.

Went down one step to version 6.6.17 (70368) and everything was fine.

Just checked Firestorm's site and it appears that they made 6.6.17 (70368) unavailable for download. I don't know why they are so determined to jam a non-functioning client down our throats.

The thing is, I've been to Sansar, and for me it's Second Life with all the fun stripped out.

You're right. Strictly in technical terms, Sansar is better than SL in almost every way, but it's so sterile. SL is more fun and people would put serious money into it because of the freedom it allows.

[Unlocking framerate to match 144hz monitor]

Hi,

This isn't a question about poor performance, but on the contrary. In not too many words, I have an i7-6700k and GTX 1080, so I have no performance problems to speak of. I recently bought a 144hz monitor and I'd like to see what I can do with Second Life and to see how many frames I can get out of it per second. Are there any commands or configs that I should know of?

[RedZone usage suspected in a sim. How do I report this?]

Hey all,

I recently discovered that a sim which some of my friends go to is exhibiting behavior which suggests that it's using the RedZone IP tracker. This is a serious privacy issue which vexes my friends and the last I checked, RedZone isn't allowed. How do I report this?

[Help I am an SL professional photographer needing advice on unauthorized use of 1 of my images]

I am not a lawyer, but to be knowledge, the theft of your image is not legally enforceable. Your best way to sort this out is to speak to the editor of this magazine directly and ask what is going on.

[Cannot view browser windows (slplugin.exe?)]

This was a fresh install to my PC with no pre-existing viewers.

I installed the default Viewer 2.0 and there was an error message which popped up demanding me to fix slplugin.exe. I wasn't able to get past the TOS wall until I downloaded Radegast to get past it, and when I entered I couldn't conduct Searches, could not see profiles. I'm basically handicapped now.

Can someone please help me out with this? I have Windows Firewall off now, and Microsoft Security Essentials is off, too. I've also tried to set slplugin.exe to Win95 Compatibility but doesn't seem to have helped with anything.
