KistenLee has released a new test viewer. This one is especially for higher end computers and is classed a Test Build. Download it from the Test Build section of KirstenLee’s site.

S20(37) is the current main release.

One needs a Dual Core2 or better and at least a 8800 GPU or better to run the new test viewer. The code is optimized for SSE3 and GPU compute capabilities for OpenCL/Cuda.

This version contains lots of bux fixes and the addition for more Project Snowstorm code. Support for the nVidia 450 chip was added.
This should be a fun viewer to use. More later. Later…

KirstenLee S20 Build 33 (All Platforms) Released

KirstenLee says this version of the viewer has many big changes in user interface, user interface useability, performance improvements, memory leak fixes, group chat fixes, and more.

The multi-layer clothes feature is now hard coded in… This is the feature that allows one to wear like 5 shirts layers. Torley has a video tutorial on this new feature. Basically the last layer added goes on top. Any layer can be made the top layer by removing it and adding it back.

More after I get to use it this weekend… I’ve got whatever it is that is going around… So, I’m not getting much done.

KirstenLee S20 (31) Released

This release is mostly about stability. Not much new to talk about.

See: S20 Build 31 ( Back from Holiday Special )

I’ve gotten to use this version for several hours now. It seems more stable than my SL 2.1 and Emerald 2439. I’ve been visiting high lag places (NWN’s popular places) and it does pretty good. The LL servers seem to be having problems. Everyone is complaining of lag (8/7 AM SLT).

KirstenLee Viewer s20(30) Released – Review

by

Today I see Kirsten has a new S20 (30) release out. I’ll get around to trying it out later today.

Update 7/29 – I got to use the viewer. It has a really nice render. Things look better than normal.

There are several under the hood improvements. No black screens as I change settings. I only had to re-log once as I tried out the shadows settings. Plus I have a tiny bit better FPS rate.

The search dialog has been fixed so Classified ads show now. I actually use that from time to time. Search has changed. The search modifiers in the drop down list have changed to four tabs; Search, Events, Destination Guide, and Classifieds. The Maturity settings look like they can be enabled in search, they can’t. One has to enable them in Preferences -> [General]. One can then disable and enable Maturity classes for any search.
