The whole thing is weird. I remember reading someone in this thread who went to the Kiwi store and crashed just for clicking their group gift sign (without joining the group). [EDIT] Ah! Read @Jaylinbridges above.

The official viewer updates automatically. Mine updated this week.

I don't think the 2048x1024 is a format of common use. What we need is having the Firestorm team focused on creating a new and much improved PBR viewer instead of wasting their precious time with a minor bug (that has a severe impact, I agree) of an outdated version, which would only create an undesirable precedent. I'll keep using Firestorm 6.6.17 until there is a new PBR one that runs efficiently. And whenever I want to go around sight seeing the PBR marvels, I'll use the official viewer, which is what it's good for.

No, you are right, it does not. I run Windows 10 and Firestorm 6.6.17 and in fact 2048x1024 images make it crash.
-
Yes, I always perform a clean install. I delete all cache and settings manually and clear all references to Firestorm from the Windows registry. Today, I reinstalled Firestorm 6.6.17 once more (third time). LL and the Firestorm team say they are keeping that version available "forever" but if things keep going as they presently are, thank you so much for nothing.

Yes, I agree that this is the wrong forum for viewer issues. But have you thought that the issue at hand may be caused by recent server changes? PBR is fine, not my cup of tea as it is at this stage, but it's fine. I just would like to have the option of not using it sometimes. As I posted above, the Official Viewer runs fine, it's only a bit too limited for most of what I do in SL.
-
Right, and it's not up-to-date, as the rendering subsystem has changed (it's why the Official Viewer was updated today).
-
Yes, that is exactly what I (and others) are experiencing. Every time I bring the groups list up, poof. Sometimes, even a group message makes it crash. The Official Viewer runs fine (updated early today) but besides wandering around there isn't much I can do with it because of its limitations. Also, it's a PC killer — not possible to limit the FPS to less than 60 (enabling Vsync).
-
That's right but these bugsplats are new. I've been using Firestorm 6.6.17 since it was launched, and these errors only started happening less than a month ago. {EDIT] The whole thing (PBR) feels like Microsoft trying to force users moving to Windows 11. PBR Firestorm is the worst viewer ever, so bad that I even prefer 6.6.17 with all these new errors.
-
Yes, it happened to me with Firestorm 6.6.17. The only way to "fix" it was completely delete the viewer and reinstall it but the problem occurred again after a couple weeks. I wonder if portions of that viewer version became somehow incompatible (besides voice) despite the Firestorm team says they are going to keep it available "forever".

The Future of SL Business

Oops! Sorry, you are right there, I hadn't reached the last page of this thread yet. My sincere apologies. Since I'm here, let me tell you that I wouldn't share an account with anyone. And because of it last April I closed the club I had running for 11 years. But of course I could never compare to DRD or to even running a small store. -

That is not the point at all. It's not about timings, it's about work load. Have you ever been at DRD's mainstore (not to mention Salem's sim setup next door). I'm sorry to say that you don't have much of a clue about it all. -

No code needed if they reformulate the ToS a bit. -

It's complicated, as it will require everything to be deeded to a group. -
The ToS is what it is, what LL wants it to be, and I'm not going to discuss it. But they should have issued a warning instead of deleting the Marketplace listing out of the blue, so you could have taken adequate measures. Once more, it was just LL's inability to communicate. @Jaimy Hancroft You, and other merchants, can request a feature for a new type of account, one that can be shared. If LL allows thousands of bots to roam around SL, why not creating a special account type that they know is shared by X, Y and Z accounts?
