Did spot this in your specs and wondered if @Cuga Rajal’s suggestion on increasing cache size helps?

Hi Ansel That’s a shame, I don’t share the same experience at the moment. This bug report may interest you though: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-230637 To summarise the experiences shared on this report: * Through May 2021, a number of users have reported that the SpaceMouse stopped working in Catalina where no drivers are installed (the standard position when the device is used for SL only) * It’s believed within the report its been caused by a silent Apple update * Upgrading to Big Sur resolved (but the movement experience hasn’t been as smooth as < Big Sur) * Sidenote: In Big Sur, the SpaceMouse cannot be used in SL with the SpaceMouse drivers installed, so you’d be in difficult situation if you use the mouse for CAD software too.

Hi Russ - guessing you mean iMac not iPad Pro? If you did mean iPad I’d love to hear more I’d remove the drivers, you don’t need them for FS. I’m running Catalina and the space mouse works well. Settings I use are below.

CyberDuck, VSCode, Blender, Photoshop and Gyazo! I had to laugh... these are things I'm using too This is very good detail, thank you a lot I think I can certainly cut down the RAM then.

Thanks! The quote was less than my total budget (£3106, but that includes some extra stuff I've not included above like monitor, keyboard, mouse, webcam, speakers). I did choose a higher watt PSU but their site said 'no no you don't that choose this' - in different words haha. Good to know more than 16gb RAM isn't really needed, I've read on some threads that the rule of RAM is you can never have enough. But, yes, I'd probably have a couple of instances of Firestorm running and Photoshop, so not too concerned about having more. Interesting point re the storage. I chose the fast SSD as primary since I've read SSD would also make SL smoother, but if I do bring along my OneDrive and PhotoShop stuff (sorry, I realise as I type this I said specifically for SL... maybe I should have said primarily hehe) or ever use this for any other things (other games) - the additional storage could be useful. I might change the second to a mechanical though. I was concerned someone might say something like 'this graphics card is no good for SL' so this is sounding positive, thank you! Though, < 20fps no matter what in some areas, geez that's depressing haha.

Thanks, good to know - especially that you're getting good frame rate with i7 & 16mb RAM.

Thanks, good to know I could still get really good performance with less.

Hey I currently have a iMac that runs ok mid setting okay in firestorm - not so well in busy areas (mainland) and crawls if I have two instances of firestorm running in parallel. I’m looking to get something specifically for second life. Budget around £3500. I understand that CPU performance is the most important thing. I’ve built a quote and before I go ahead with the purchase, could you please let me know if you see any obvious issues with this configuration running on ultra with high draw distances in a busy area?

Thanks, but nope https://jira.secondlife.com/projects/BUG/issues/BUG-229699 https://jira.firestormviewer.org/browse/FIRE-30525 https://forum.3dconnexion.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=39541&start=110

Okay, a slightly odd side question then What are you using for camera control (just keyboard, trackpad?) - reason I ask is that I see from SecondLife JIRA that MacOS Big Sur has stopped the 3dconnexion space mouse from working with LL Viewer/FireStorm. Holding off upgrading to Big Sur on my iMac until that's - hopefully - sorted. If I could buy this laptop with Catalina it would be perfect!

Amazing!! Thanks for taking the time to post this. I remembered you said you’d receive it on Wednesday and I’ve been looking forward to the update 👍

Hi Gavin - thanks very much for all this info! I'm looking to get a MPB for 'couch development and surfing' it's really nice to know SL will work with it reasonably well

Thank you, I will triple check & confirm!

The top image is when closeBlinds() is triggered, the second is what sometimes happen when I go out of view (eg. begin to walk downstairs then upstairs so that I don't see the blind and it's re-drawn from cache). I would think "Hmm, clear cache and retry?" but since it's happening on two instances of Firestorm (mac/windows) I guess not.

Upon further testing... it looks like this issue happens with Firestorm for Windows & Mac, but not the official LL viewer.
