My long-time favorite viewer seems to completely crash my more than capable gaming PC. I've used Singularity for about six years, with no problems, even on really crappy computers. I am now running an Alienware Aurora R8, for reference. Not the best, but certainly capable. Singularity was the best for building, roleplay, and even hosting! It won't load my avatar, but will load everything around it, and that's even if I turn graphics down, up, where it's recommended, it can't find my inventory... Doesn't matter. It soft-crashes my entire computer (as in no blue screen, but the screen will go black and I'll have to hard reset.) Catznip is my second favorite and doesn't crash my system no matter what the heck I do to it, but I'm missing a lot of the functionality of Singularity. And I don't really like to run firestorm, as it takes a lot to do so. While my computer is capable, I like a lighter program. Am I missing some kind of update or something? Has there even been one in the past few years? I go on their website and the latest I see is from 2016... I miss my favorite viewer!

My PC's Graphics Control Panel has 3D with Antialiasing settings. Should the PC with the SL or Firestorm viewers have the Antialiasing setting enabled or disabled, for potential SL-Grid crashes, ejections & disconnections while inflight with planes or driving boats & cars?

Hi there - I wonder if someone can help me. I have a macbook pro and recently it seems whenever i try and take photos (particularly landscape ones) using advanced lighting and shadows - as soon as i click snapshot and the window comes up it crashes as it tries to produce the pic for me to then click save to disc. So I never get to the save to disc point. Does anyone have any recommendations or a list of setting for photography that best suit the macbook and still enable shadows etc. Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I recently came back to Second Life around 5 days ago after a break of a year or so. I've never had any issues in Second Life when I used to play with where I used to go or do it would all work fine. I came back and downloaded the SL Viewer from the Second Life website and when going to locations such as Big Daddy's 80's Club, I noticed I would crash if I moved or moved my camera. I went through making changes in the settings from turning my settings form ultra to high and changing VBO to disabled and more and still the same. I have tried the following viewers - SL Viewer, Firestorm, Cool, Singularity and now using Catznip as it seems to be a little more stable at times. I do not have issues with my setup or speeds of my connection as I will place this below. Download Speed - 350MBps Upload Speed - 50MBps Ram - 64GB Graphics Card - Gefroce GTX 1080 CPU - i7-3960X HardDrives 4 x 500GB SSD's - I am running second life on a SSD Motherboard - Rampage IV Extreme I have checked my firewall and network and see no issues with anything causing blocks within my setup and just looking for some guidance. I have also attached an image of my settings - Please note I have made multiple changes to them all and it still has issues.
