Second Life News Week 07

2016/02/16 by Nalates Urriah

Servers

As expected, there are no server updates this week, probably next week. My home region has not been restarted since 2/2/2016, two full weeks. The region seems to be working OK. The server stats shown in the Viewer Statistics Panel all look good.

Viewers

Not much visibly happening with viewers. But, we may see a viewer promoted this week.

Second Life HTTP update Viewer version 4.0.2.310660
Second Life Maintenance Viewer version 4.0.2.310545
Second Life Quick Graphics Viewer version 4.0.2.310127
Second Life Project Bento Viewer version 5.0.0.310099
Second Life Project Oculus Rift Viewer version 3.7.18.295296
Second Life Obsolete Platforms Viewer version 3.7.28.300847 :/

I’ve been using the Linden, Firestorm, and Catznip (R10) viewers recently. I have less problems and better performance with Catznip. That is not a test result. I haven’t done organized testing. But, my subjective experience is Catznip is behaving better right now.

I do see texture thrashing when using Catznip… less of that with Firestorm. It takes some time to get there, generally over an hour for me.

Second Life: Third Party Developers’ Meeting 2-12-16

2016/02/12 by Nalates Urriah

This meeting ran a little over 20 minutes. It was mostly status updates.

RC Second Life HTTP update Viewer version 4.0.2.310660 – This version has the HTTP, Co-routines, and Vivox updates. The HTTP updates were driving up the crash rate so in this version they are disabled.

Second Life News Week 2 – #2

2016/01/17 by Nalates Urriah

This past week a Third Pary Develpoers’ meeting was held. Not much in the way of NEW news, but lots of updates… except for one big block buster.

Cyborg

Viewers

The Maintenance RC got prompted Friday morning and is now the main SL viewer: 4.0.1-310054. If you have been having problems and low FPS this release should help. This version is the second main viewer with the CEF. It also has lots of fixes.

Second Life Bits Week 2

2016/01/16 by Nalates Urriah

Servers – No roll to the main grid this week. Maybe next week. The three RC channels all got the same update, which is mostly the addition of; BUG-10575 Feature Request: llGetObjectDetails() constant OBJECT_TOTAL_INVENTORY_COUNT and BUG-10646 Feature Request: llGetObjectDetails() constant OBJECT_PRIM_COUNT.

Wow! What came out at the TPV Dev Meeting?

2015/12/212015/12/20 by Nalates Urriah

There was a Third Party Developers’ meeting this past week. Of course Project Bento was a main topic and Vir Linden was there to talk about and respond to comments in the Feedback thread of the forum. So, what did we learn?

Viewers

The Second Life Valhalla Viewer version 4.0.0.307894 was promoted to default viweer status Thursday 12/17. This viewer has fixes for Bento, which mean little as Bemto animations and avatars are not yet allowed on the main grid. It also changes from Webkit to CEF – Chromium Embedded framework.

Co-Routines or Second Life HTTP Update Viewer version 3.8.7.308134 is merging with the Second Life Vivox Viewer version 3.8.7.307744 and will reappear in RC as a single viewer named… we don’t know.

Viewer Update Week 50

2015/12/07 by Nalates Urriah

Second Life 3.8.6-305981 – Main Viewer – Or formerly the Notifications Viewer

My viewer: Second Life 3.8.7 (306758) Oct 27 _ When I mention viewer problems or issues while writing about other topics over the past couple of weeks, this is the viewer I am most likely using.

You may be noticing NVIDIA problems where the viewer has mini freezes, computer freezes, black screens, and video driver resets. As best I can tell, these problems are not solely viewer issues. I have run into the same thing with Word, Chrome, Vivaldi, and other programs. You’ll find a number of threads in other gaming forums discussing problems with NVIDIA crashing and restarting.
