The new windlight viewer is the worst release in the history of windlight sl…more crashes when trying to teleport…more grey…more lag…slower rezzing, lower FPS…oh and the new one…freezing for 10-15 seconds on every teleport. So dont tell me things are encouraging…thats the last thing i want to hear…how about the truth for once.
Up until this new version i was seeing almost every avie correctly and now i see people with missing parts of their hair or shapes that dont load which makes them short. I was very encouraged by windlight up until this new 1.19 release but now sadly i see windlight turning into the same old buggy viewer.
I’ve had a few minor problems with the previous releases of windlight but thats to be expected, however we should be allowed to run the previous version that performs like it should until these problems are corrected…but of course im told thats not possible…Why am i not surprised…(taps foot waiting for the next release)

#21 Gil Druart and a few others - log on and a quick off is done for specific reasons sometimes - like checking visitor counts and stuff on your sim and to reject objects before leaving for work. Even repeated logging is sometimes on purpose - I was moving stuff on the sim today and the easy way, since I was getting coffee and doing RL stuff was to use the current inventory to move and then cleaning it up by logging off and back on. Your suggestion is too much like fudging stats based on assumptions and we’re getting enough of that in the U.S. with the primaries…

That said, any talk about rolling out WL before the group update stuff is fixed is way premature. I stay in the old viewer most of the time now because of being unable to do little things that are known problems. The ‘better view’ isn’t enough to justify logging out and back in just to give someone a new role in one of my groups.

Hi Meta - I’ve been waiting to see whether you would put the First Look island into use again so we can run tests and all report FPS in the same fashion.

While I really enjoy Windlight for photography, my FPS are about 50% lower on average with atmospheric shaders enabled - with the major trouble spots being rezzing textures (for instance on vendors while shopping) and rendering sculpted prims quickly enough. It can literally be 10 minutes of standing in one spot waiting for the world to “un-gray” after a teleport.

I’d love to see First Look island reinstated for actual testing and comparison. But this time, make submitting results a lot easier

Although I love SL and I play in it alot, I have to view the numbers for January as suspect at best, cooked at worst. While I approve of your giving out of work Enron bookkeepers a second chance, there is no way you are going to convince me that January was one of the most stable times in half a year. I crash just crossing a sim border on foot. I have lagbursts that freeze me while the rest of the sim chats and moves without me. I’ve crashed while trying to teleport. I’ve had teleports fail, leaving me stuck on an island. I cannot see which of my friends are online as the Flist shows folks as offline even though they are on. I’ve been unable to rez stuff to work on it. I’ve been unable to save changed scripts after I worked on it. That is, on those lucky days when I’ve been able to login in the first place.

Ordinarly I just grit my teeth and wait for the fixes. But you will not convince me that SL is getting more stable when I’ve encountered as many failures in Jan/Feb as in all the previous year combined. Anytime SL is inaccessible for any reason except region restarting/server mods, it should be called “unplanned lack of service”. Anything else is mere wordplay, calling bugs anything but bugs.

Just like to point out, that Second Life never fails to make me smile in Real Life (Enus mainly : P)
Everyday, without fail it makes me smile and laugh in Real Life, and makes me happy.
But, Kimberly that is an amazing post, and very true too,
And I do feel LL, and Second Life needs to improve alot because it has gone downhill lately.
And yep makes me smile etc.
But it also without fail makes me wanna scream and shout and cry in Real Life too, everyday because when it isnt working, wont let me in it makes me sooo pissed off lol
*cries* “let me innnnnnnnnnn Second Life!”
