Versions 2.8 and later won't work on MAC

[Zara Wise]

Hi

I have three mac computers.   Two are new and operating OS 10.6.7  and one is OS 10.5.8.   I down loaded v 2.8 and none of my macs will run it -  everything plays at 5fps.   SL runs fine if I re-install 2.7.

So I tired version 3. and it's the same.  None of the MACs will run it.

 Can someone report this bug to Linden labs?  I can't report the bugs because I am not a member of Atlassian.

 

Thanks

I'm on the latest iMac and still have the same issues. I reported it and LL knows about it. I know it doesnt help you much, but in the meantime, I use Firestorm: runs smoohly and no bugs, but you won't have shadows enabled... (as of today)

Atlassian?  Why would you want to deal with them? That's the software company that makes the bug tracking system (JIRA) that LL uses.  If you think you have found a bug, you need to report it to LL >>> https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/?

Actually it doesn't seem to be Mac related. It's 2.7.4 and higher in general. FPS drop started already with 2.7.3.

2.7.2 works fine for me as 1.23.5

Many complaints i do hear are from Duo Core users btw, Linux, Windows, Mac, but i don't know if it Duo core related really. I think one of the problems is that SL never had been designed to run well on multi processor computers and they are more or less the standard now. LL have experimented however always had a poor integration of that matter.

But eventually i think it bores down on very very poor software development and rushing new iterations since the new CEO. SL has become a typical IT organization for that matter. Many IT companies these days are run lke that

But wasn't LL still in the process of hiring a QA officer? Poor person if found... because it all starts with decent organization.

But well they know... if that is a comfort... lol
