The EEP roll out is a disaster. Pure and simple.

I see. You meant they are now broken rather than "you can't stand pre-EEP anymore since you've seen EEP".
Yes I loved pre-EEP SL. I photographed skies. https://www.flickr.com/photos/99805182@N05/ My ability to photograph has been effectively ruined. No real will to log in now.

"Amateur graphics"
lol. You're trolling right? EEP is a miniscule improvement without proper atmospheric scattering. You really haven't seen what SL is capable of if you think pre-EEP are "amateur graphics" in comparison to EEP. Current EEP implementation is more like a framework to build upon (and not a good one at that)
The graphics were fine before EEP.

Damn... i was hoping for the return of the non-EEP
I'm playing FFXIV now. Can't tolerate the amateur graphics since the EEP improvement. They ruined SL for me.

@dstauffsl That's the joke of the day. No serious photographer uses an SL viewer? But then I wonder how you and others log in SL. Every viewer, regardless of whether Firestorm, Black Dragon or the standard viewer of Linden Labs is an SL viewer because it was designed for use in Second Life. The problem is not the viewer but how the respective setting was set. My wife and I have worked on our settings for days and tested again and again to make it look as natural as possible. All just a matter of patience. Here are some pictures taken with the standard viewer that show our regions at different times of day and with different weather settings.
As you can easily see, it is only a matter of patience, learning and a good eye for the right look to make a region look good with EEP.
Enclosed should be noted. The days when your SL photographer was still the true artist are long gone. Today, kids at school are already learning how to use Photoshop or other imaging programs, and they'll soon be able to do it better than you old age ever could. So get off your high horse back down to the ground of reality.
Sorry typo. No serious photographer uses a LL viewer. That takes the steam out of your little ***** rant. Oh and here's my land BEFORE the sky got ruined.

It's like everything new. What the farmer does not know, he does not eat and everything in which one has to get used to probably causes most of the problems here because then they would have to strain their brains to adapt to the new situations. We are not in the land of milk and honey where the roasted pigeons fly into their mouths and Linden-Labs takes everyone's thinking away. New technologies also require the conversion of those who use them. No wonder people still mess around with the old Windows XP and outdated PC's because they are too lazy and sluggish to adapt to Windows 10. You would have to use your brain and learn something new. @ Marianne: Instead of moaning over the interface for weeks, you would have had enough time over to think about the change of perspective to have a clear view of the timestamp being edited.
New technologies also mean finding alternatives to adapt and no longer riding old habits.
As for the story with Ruth ................
The conversion has been announced long enough in advance see https://community.secondlife.com/blogs/entry/2142-new-assethttp-project-viewer-is-now-available/ or https://community.secondlife.com/blogs/entry/2513-obsolete-asset-fetch-disabled/ and who was still too lazy to update his viewer is to blame if he runs around as Ruth. Do not blame it on Linden, but on your own laziness to move your goddamn ass and bring your software up to date.
@cube republic. I fully agree with you. It's actually a miracle that SL still works at the enormous load the servers have to charge. It is up to the manufacturers to continuously optimize their products but also to the customer who should adapt his buying behavior to the circumstances and if necessary should also go deeper into the wallet to get really qualitative products. We also buy only inworld and let us, so no demo available, objects that we want to demonstrate and it was not only once that we then talked to the manufacturer about problems and errors and asked for rectification. About 75% of them also agreed with us and therefore have a much higher reputation and are also recommended much more often than those who have been resting for years on their former glory and are unwilling to improve.The thing looks like ***** on the EEP viewer or have you not been reading. There is NO upgrade only a downgrade and no serious SL photographers use SL viewers. It may have been announced for some time but the fact that it's broken hasn't changed.

@Rider Linden Why not roll back the grid ro pre-EEP until such a time where you have a official EEP viewer out. As it is now it looks to me that it's only annoying many residentsYes please? This is what MMO developers do. They would never release a broken buggy POS onto the live servers. It's wonderful that some day this will work and i'm glad for it being in dev but in it's current roll out it has broken the sky. I've stopped blogging for the time being. The sky is broken unless you switch to a beta viewer that is still in development. LL jumped the gun on this.

If you are not interested to open the Environment editor then the only thing you can do is to wait until Firefox gets the EEP update.
Thank you for stating the obvious. You're a genius.

I know a thing or 2 about wind light. Being able to get a single sky to look passable using edit environment isn't the point. Having every sims cycling winlight ruined the default ruined as well as the 100 custom wind lights ruined is. Everywhere I go in sl looks ridiculous now and I'm not interested in opening edit environment and using you up is down left is right logic to fix it. There are many threads on FB of bloggers very upset that they can't photograph now because of this.
8 hours ago, Coby Foden said:It seems that you don't know how to use the viewer Windlight feature. Because it's totally possible to make the sky to look ok (except the stars which are ruined in non EEP viewers).
Please post here a snapshot of the ruined sky. And location where you see the ruined sky. I would be interested to see it inworld. -

No, the sky is not "completely ruined" on Firestorm.
From the viewer menu, select:
World, Environment Editor, Sky Presets, Edit preset...Then in the window which has opened you can change the direction and speed of the clouds with:
Cloud Scroll X and Cloud Scroll Yyes the sky IS completely ruined.

The sky is completely ruined on Firestorm period. The clouds when i can get them to appear now move from the top of the sky to the bottom rather than east west left right it's completely unnatural. All of my windlights are ruined none work as intended. The sky looks as bad as Everquest did, in 1998, no wait that looked better. I realize that if i get on the EEP viewer it's better but no one wants to use a LL viewer. Why break the game for countless months by rolling out a beta?

No.
But you could switch to the official EEP beta viewer ahead of schedule
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Alternate_Viewers
No SL blogger is going to use a LL viewer.

Can they turn this off until they release the official EEP viewer rather than ruin the sky for 6 months?

Why should i have to look at some ugly default when i had 200 beautiful windlights that don't work anymore?

The sky is ruined. I get the black stars too. the clouds pass the sky in a very unrealistic direction. the horizon line is horrible. Nothing was enhanced at all. What once looked natural no looks like it was done in 1995. I can't possibly blog landscape shots now. Seriously what idiot came up with this?

So a friend of mine has a skybox at 3000feet. The actual TP invite from him is 3001 feet. I can get there if i accept his TP. If i try to teleport from my favorites or my history, it goes to the exact coordinate but only to 983 feet. I am floating in the air. I can fly up to the skybox but i can't TP in. every time it bumps me down to 983 feet. Help.

Hi all,
Let me preface this by saying i'm very new.... I bought some shapes and skins sets at a store and each set should have been a shape and like 3 skins. Unlike other's i've bought though, instead of being clearly marked as a shape or skin, they arrived in my received items folder as these box looking icons (see attached). I don't know if i'm supposed to somehow decompress those or open them or what. Help....

So i bought a few shapes and skins sets and unlike some that I've purchased these arrived in my received items folders as these box icon files (see attached image). I've no idea how to open or decompress them. They should each contain or have been a shape and several skins. Please help.

Can we just have a legacy environment option so I can pass entirely on this "improvement"?
