Downgrading to Nvidia driver 163.75 did not help. Here's what DID help! Turning off OpenGL Vertex Buffer Objects greatly improved my FPS in RC, Mainline, and Dazzle. Yay! This is opposite of my experience in WL, where turning VBO off yields lower (but still usable) framerates. Maybe the checkbox in the prefs window is backwards? ;) I decided I’d try the solution hinted at in #33.

Windlight works great for me, but when I tried switching back to RC, Mainline, or Dazzle the framerate is unusable (pinned at 2 when things are loading). Fast timers says it's spending most of the time in "Region Update". I thought it was a terrible network problem until I tried WL and my FPS returned to it's normal 30+. I've tried reducing all graphics settings, running full screen, twiddling graphics options. No dice. Not sure where to file the JIRA since it's been awhile since I've tracked the mainline/RC viewers and I dunno when this problem appeared.

What is the deal with all the releases. Its hard to keep up. Some of us actually have things to do besides testing your stuff. Its completely ridiculous how often a viewer is released. I should be happy the main viewer has stayed the same. Which i bitched about a few months ago. How many noobs were chased away by all the viewers. SL is confusing enough for a newbie. New viewers come out so often u would think LL employees get more money for more releases. Every new viewer has new problems, not to mention the old problems that are never fixed. How about spending some time testing it yourselves. It seems that you dont test it at all, just rush to get it out to us. Which results in more angry residents. You could save us and u alot of frustration, and time by spending a little more time and releasing fewer viewers. This version seems better. What is the deal with all the releases.

Among the 16 bugs that got squashed are numerous crash bugs, a bug that had the Preferences panel dock to the bottom of the window and be unmovable, and a bug that kept Alt-arrow keys from switching between IM wndows. A biggie that has a temp fix is that they moved the row of buttos `such as Release Keys have bene moved bac to their old location, although they are also working on moving the Release Keys button to the menus and getting it offscreen completely.

Things look worse! Sadly agree with post # 43, above. Imprtantly, textures on objects such as cylinders are now all awry - it looks as if the prims have been "nurbified" and not very well, either! Textures are 'twisted' all around the sides. If we have to go around re-creating every non-cuboid, non-spherical prim --- some advice would be welcome ;) Just installed RC 1.19.0.2 after a month’s absence. Things look worse!
