Oh lord, I didn't even notice that part! I always have ALM on anyway because I like seeing my materials (Although classes need to be taught to some creators on HOW to use it ugh don't get me started lol). But yeah, more than considerably. This is why i hardly ever play newer games. Their lighting is blinding and just...so eye-straining and makes me physically sick. I was hoping SL never went that way.

I wish LL would just upgrade their infrastructure and physics engine. Yay we have mesh, but we still don't have moving mesh hair? Or clothing? Or hell even mesh collision so we CAN wear whatever jeans and shoes and have the jeans drape over the shoes no matter? But instead we have PBR.

I hear you on that, the lighting change was very hard on my eyes too, couldn't deal with it. I also second the mesh hair physics would be nice to have mesh hair that actually moved instead of the old flexi hair.

Yeah, no thanks, just re-installed the last FS.

Too bright, which makes my head hurt (migraine level). I do use NAM's Optimal and when I changed it to Noon (legacy) it was nicer. But, FPS went down considerably. I am running - CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 8-Core Processor   (3900 MHz) / Memory: 65463 MB (Used: 1087 MB) /Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050/PCIe/SSE2 (8G), not the newest by any means but am getting 100+ FPS on my platform with Shadows on. 1TB Fiber up/down, I rarely ever have problems rezzing anything.

Ran new FS and at the most was getting 30FPS and textures were loading really slowly. TPing around made my mesh body/head invisible (Lelutka/reborn) and even spending 20 minutes after tping, the body/head never rezzed (weirdly enough my clothing did).

I hope this isn't something we HAVE to use in the future. I don't think my eyes can take the strain.

I also dont like the fact that you cant turn off ALM anymore and you are right alot of the windlights are considersiderably different, not a fan and went back to previous version

 I downloaded the new version yesterday, and immediately, I noticed that my computer's fan ran constantly and hard. I've got my fps rate at 30, even tried 15, and it was still racing. I tried downloading the newer SL viewer, and the fan did the same. I also noticed that in firestorm, my usual windlights and environmental settings looked terrible and the overall graphics were not an improvement for me. The fan issue is the big one for me. I have a gaming PC, but I can't risk burning it out. I may have to uninstall the beta and go back to the last version, which worked great for me. 

I had the same issue, also have a gaming laptop that is not even a year old and OMG it felt like it was on fire, my FPS took a hard dip and this morning I redownloaded the previous version of FS.

I immediately downloaded the new Firestorm update only to find my graphics were downgraded and textures to be very blurry, refreshing the textures will clear them up but that is a hassle.
