Mainland only 40 av's are allowed, also you will get tall buildings and strange builds where they don't belong. I think mainland sims are 1/3 or 1/2 cpu (my opinion) vs private 1 full cpu.

Yes try coolvl turn off PBR settings, you should be fine.

The one I linked to there copies back on shutdown.

I don't have any problems running PBR on this machine. There is a performance hit big time though. I worry for the rest of my fellow gamers that have mid/low machines 60%+ ?

I actually run a Ram Disk which every know it all in this forum thinks is overkill or just crazy. Can be found here https://sourceforge.net/projects/imdisk-toolkit/ But I go to crowded places and if you watch the behavior of SL then you will see why. First Cache - Sl is constantly writing to cache, as new AV's enter the region its downloading and WRITING to the disk. Second windows pagefile - when you run out of memory it writes to the pagefile (disk). So what ends up happening is all is ok for a while in a crowded place, then about 30 min into it your memory gets filed and writes to page file, and while its writing to page file its writing to disk cache as well. This is a double whammy, at that point you cant pan around and fps drop a bit and things start to stutter. This is on my older laptop, i also run on my main machine, but the older laptop really benefits a lot from this, you can see the difference in this benchmark, left is ramdisk. https://gyazo.com/2363c2e8935c6ce95ca8f79d8bc642ce So if you are able write to disk cache 15x faster it helps heaps!

I will try the Lua scripting feature thank you. Reasons I liked and things that stand out about CoolVL CoolVL my EEP's didn't look as bad as the rest. CoolVl you can pretty much turn off the pbr features and have basically a 6xxx version again, and the performance hit was very little. I was thinking that when this is forced update, and people start to look for alternatives to try and keep some performance and still be in the game that CoolVL will be the viewer of choice.

Right, recently I've tried: Alchemy Black Dragon Genesis CoolVLViewer Firestorm Second Life Viewer Alchemy - I liked could get use to I think. Cool VL I think fps wise and looks maybe too, was best implementation of pbr I saw. But lacked buttons. These are RLV viewers, cause I have a attachment I made to combat bom monsters and I use rlv to do that(maybe for other reasons too oO). Firestorm came out not long ago and it was a shocker. I never tried pbr till that happened, I think for many others is the case. The thing was pegged at 100% gpu and so much was broken graphically. It really had me very worried. Second Life Viewer as limited as it is, works better now, there was an update yesterday or so, and gpu useage is at 50% typically. So by the time they force this on us, I think will be ok, with a performance hit of like 50%. But can the low/mid users take a 50% hit..... I don't think so, if they use this socially. So hope the new Spicy Content will bring new users..

Ahh thank you. I liked the implementation of pbr in it, but I'm use to firestorm. So maybe you've heard a million times, need the button arrangements going on there for ease of access Thanks for the reply.

I've been trying different viewers now, which is good option. I like Cool VLViewer. Long time Firestorm user here. But feel like total noob in there, I couldn't even find like a landmarks interface or, outfits 🤥

I don't have any problems myself I run Ultra, except I lose 80% of my fps. I'm concerned about the people with mid grade machines being left behind. However things are looking up, I fired up Secondlife Viewer and there was an update Second Life Release 7.1.9.9604591078 (64bit). Now the GPU is only running at 50% which is a step in the right direction, that makes me happy.

Good Idea, well put!

Good point breaking stuff = more sales

I have run FS7 but at 30fps before any AV's are around. Thats going from 200fps same setting. But I frequently go to crowded places, I go places wear the Av's are super complex, places like The Chamber, you have 90 AV's all Highend. This Viewer would crash over half of them and the other half in about 30 minutes once the memory runs out and pagefile just pukes. Thats the point, many say I can run it, sure..in your sim with no one around. This is a Social Game, I enjoy the Live Music, so unique to this game, the clubs the social aspect of it. But many are ok, runs ok, but it will positively not run ok in a social environment.

Another topic not touched on, is what have they done. I have products that don't look right now because of this. Who knows how many complaints are going to come, as it is I have minimal IM's with my customers and because everything works and looks right. They use to break scripting in their server updates what a nightmare, this will be that on steroids. I don't even want to talk about my Custom EEP's ........butchered by this, just butchered.

Good point, I hope so.

You are dead wrong those so called worthless people contributed to over half the company revenue. I think there is worthless people in this forum and probably contribute nothing to the game and or economy.

What's yours?

Exactly what I was talking about, looks like you have 38.8k posts, you fit the bill perfectly, thanks for contributing like I knew you would.

Google is everyone's friend

I don't come here unless its important, and as usual you get the forum trolls that have nothing better to do. They discount you cause they don't see you on here, or don't agree with you, which is all fine and dandy, it is what it is. But this here is important, and as far as my experience in SL none of you have a clue, just discount anyone who comes in you haven't seen before as a noob, idiot. Let me tell you something I was Scripting Weapons in the Thick THICK LAG, when you were were trying to figure out the command to get your attachment up(/1 up)!! I've been here since 2006 scripting contributing kicking ass in SL in combat sims, was a sl millionaire multiple times over in 2007 and beyound, so pffft! Now this is Serious 2009 We had 88, 220 – 29th March 2009 at 1:28pm SLT Concurrent Users LL Company Revenue adjusted for inflation was $146,393,862.13 2024 Concurrent Users Maximum: 43, 000 – 48, 000 (average) 2023 LL Revenue is $75,000,000 What Happened? Viewer 2 launched officially (out of beta) on 31st March 2010 This is why I am here in these Forums trying to be heard before we see a income report for 2024/2025 as $37,000,000 This is a MAJOR EVENT, that will effect the game I've been playing in for 16 years and absolutely Love. I love this game, I don't want to see it go under. So discount away numbers don't lie, we are in another major even that could cut this game in half, its very serious.

Yeah I'm a novice just throwing out numbers... You know what I've done since FS7 came out. Helped friends fix their nightmares and I watch the poor Firestorm Support group and help too. I go to clubs too and regular friends, I was being conservative with my numbers. My friends that I see everyday for a year or more 4 out of 5 , it totally wasted their experience. Were getting 30-40 fps now in the single digits, every last one of them. Only the high end users are surviving, but even then they were at 60-100 fps in the club, now at 30 and crashing a lot and their tower is a raging heat pump now.
