Martin Requiem Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I was exicted when i heard the new options for light & shadow, occlusion and dept of field were in the latest update.But viewer 2 thinks my graphic card cant handle it, cause i need atleast openGL 3.0Well dear Linden labs, with the program OpenGL extension viewer it seems i even run OpenGL 4.0I can run the newest games in super high modes!What's up with seond life then?My system spec:Renderer: ATI Radeon HD 5570Vendor: ATI Technologies Inc.Memory: 512 MBVersion: 4.0.10750 Core Profile Forward-Compatible ContextShading language version: 4.10 ( <---- openGL )If the answer is that my card aint suporrted, thats kind of nonsens since i can run ANY OTHER game /program, so my guess is the engine that is being used for second life on viewer 2 is just bad.am i the only one having problems running the extra features while you KNOW your graphic card does ace in other applications?

Chelsea Malibu Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Use Phoenix. The SL Viewer has sucked for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Zetkin Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Try enabling hardware skinning before selecting lighting and shadows and ambient occlusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Requiem Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 I started my SL using viewer 2 and i personally love it, thats my choice. I cant get used to the interface of phoenix, I like my stuff being in a sidebar. the easy way of making clothing sets. Please I dont want to start a fire topic about viewer 2 sucks I personaly love it and wont use anything else UNLESS it has the same User interface as viewer 2. as concerning the answer about hardware skinning, I LOVE YOU!!!! that worked!! only crashed my sl, but hey, crahses im used too TYVM!

Kud Schapire Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Oh nice, if I hadn't come across this topic I wouldn't even know that Viewer 2 has these features. I just got on the Firestorm viewer and turned out it had the same features, after I enabled those everything just looked so amazing! Well I don't know what would be the problem Martin, maybe there's something in your graphics card that can't support that. I'm running SL with a NVIDIA GeForce GT240 card and everything seems to be working smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
