The slider in the basic settings is about useless. Skip it and fine tune your settings to match your computer and taste. Basic shaders should always be on. So should atmospheric shaders unless you're feeling nostalgic for 2006. If you have a computer that can handle it, Advanced Lighting Model should usually be on. It will kill performance on old and low end graphics cards. 128M is usually the highest you should set draw distance. Set particles lower to improve performance. OpenGL Vertex Buffer Objects should be on unless you're using an old AMD video card that is well past its expiry date. Antialiasing should be at least 2x, except on terrible computers. Texture memory should be 512MB (if you're running a third party viewer, set it higher if you can). If you have a Mac, HiDPI displays should be off. Unless your Mac is really new and really fast. Water reflections is up to you, whatever you think looks good and doesn't tank performance. I think all static objects is a good balance. Shadows should probably be set to none unless you have a very good computer or are taking pictures. The settings under "mesh", and avatar detail and physics should all be high, and avatar hardware skinning should be checked. Turn Avatar Complexity and Max # of non-imposter avatars down if you're running on a potato.

The Movie Music Thread
Lyssa Greymoon replied to Garnet Psaltery's topic in General Discussion Forum
Ennio Morricone's soundtrack to The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Best soundtrack ever. John Williams Duel of The Fates from Star Wars: Phantom Menace. It wasn't all bad. -

Secondlife is it good or could it be even better?
Lyssa Greymoon replied to Zeotetra's topic in Second Life Viewer
Those really aren’t very different from SL’s practical requirements, except for HD space. -

nice interesting hangouts with low lag?
Lyssa Greymoon replied to Sandra8675's topic in General Discussion Forum
They move when LL turns off voice in their current hangout. If voice is off, chances they'll show up are low. If LL left voice on in one hub and stopped routing people there when they tried to login to an offline region, it would go a long way to making everyone happy. -

Contemplating new desktop/AIO to run SL
Lyssa Greymoon replied to AdminGirl's topic in General Second Life Tech Discussion
Install MSI Afterburner and use it to monitor temperatures before you go mucking around inside it. I seriously doubt degraded thermal paste is the problem on anything that new. -
MALE playing female? Is it frowned upon?
Lyssa Greymoon replied to Sisil String's topic in Make Friends
Because it's about gender expression, not tricking straight guys into having SLex with a supermodel. They aren't looking for gay sex, they're looking for a gender experience they feel comfortable with. In SL, I think it's generally best to take the blue pill and enjoy your steak.- 112 replies

How about mandatory cybersecurity training on Orientation Island? If you think someone is using voice morphing software, ask them to whisper. That makes it much easier to spot.- 112 replies

Contemplating new desktop/AIO to run SL
Lyssa Greymoon replied to AdminGirl's topic in General Second Life Tech Discussion
I'd give the AIO PCs a pass for SL. They tend to be full of laptop parts that will perform worse than their desktop counterparts. -

Change your draw distance to 128. 376 is too high. -

Firestorm Texture Memory Autodetection
Lyssa Greymoon replied to Lyssa Greymoon's topic in Second Life Viewer
I'm not seeing how the upper limit of the texture cache is in any way a problem relevant to low end hardware. Oh noes, Team Firestorm is catering to that guy still running SL on an 8600GT by not letting Titan RTX guy set his texture cache higher than 2GB! -
What are some more of your pet peeves?
Lyssa Greymoon replied to Madelaine McMasters's topic in General Discussion Forum
Guy who finds a pile of laptops that were taken out of service three years ago because they were no longer fit for purpose and no one got around to throwing them away, then decides to be the Covid-19 hero by handing them out as they are to random people for remote work without bothering to ask anyone in IT if it's a good idea. -

Go to voice echo canyon for troubleshooting to see if you can pin down what's causing it. -
