Well from this latest release of Firestorm
I have gone BACK to Phoenix as Firestorm is now 25% fps slower than Phoenix.
The reason why I use Firestorm and not
Phoenix is not because I like it. In my view, Firestorm is an unfortunate step
back from Phoenix towards ugly LL Viewer. The reason I have to use Firestorm is
because the latest version of Phoenix with mesh support crashes on my Mac Book
Pro.
So I do not see much of a reason to be so cheerful about Firestorm.

I would love to use Firestorm... But
unfortunately I can't because the FPS is so low on my system even when setting
all the graphics options to their lowest. On Phoenix viewer I can easily get 30
FPS and higher with graphics on Ultra. I can even throw in a little AA (up to
8x) and enable shadows and still get decent performance (at least 20 FPS). On
Firestorm I can barely manage 10 FPS even with all the graphics setting set to
their lowest =( (Yes I checked that AA is off and anisotropic filtering is off)
I have done nothing but get logged off
time and time and time again, any time I am not on my own land. This update for
me has been an utter disaster.
Firestorm beat Phoenix ?
Normal, you don't do any support for Phoenix, and Phoenix crash all times.
It's not a nice way to force the user to switch like that.
Now I use singularity, it's like Phoenix, with less crash.

Singularity ? I will check it out. Thanks
for the lead !
I'm having the worst crash rate ever with
the new Firestorm. But I am not sure if it's the viewer or Second Life issues.
Is anyone else having problems editing/building? SL is constantly freezing up
with I am in edit mode, often crashing, but sometimes fixing itself.
I at first thought this was a great
release.. and for uh, performance.. i suppose it still is however, there has
been issues with taking photos.
HUGE black lines in the photos..
not like the bug that adds tiny 1 or 2 pixel lines to photos that have shadow enabled.. i mean big fugly lines in low and high res without the shadows enabled.
i "upgraded" to the previous viewer then all those issues disappeared..
I don't know what is causing it but, i have asked for advice from others and they said to add a qn here.
also.. happy anniversary..
this is the viewer i recommend to friends.

This is a final user's opinion and
absolutely not meant as trolling but, I really do not see a reason to
congratulate that much since this very last update has really ruined my SL
experience. Ever since I updated it, Changing outfits is a real pain since it
just won't do it properly, it will overlap clothing objects and won't save it as
I see it. rezzing objects is also another issue among others. I have tried other
viewers and they seem to work just fine. I really think it's a shame this is
happening and I reallly hope you do something about it because I love Firestorm
and want to go back to using it and really believe what this post claims.
Phoenix_Firestorm-Release_i686_4.1.1.28744
was the most stable version on my system. I use Fedora 17.
The crash rate has gone up for me. I crash at least once per session.
I have submitted crash dumps. I hope it helps.
I am aware that you have added new code, and that's great. I am very happy with Firestorm overall and I'm grateful to everyone involved in making Firestorm. Now that the new code has been added, please if you would, please work on making FS more stable and please ask LL to tackle the crash on snapshot bug. Thank you.

Wrong, Firestorm is the biggest crash rate
it crashes my computer so much its rediculous.. causes graphical glitches too.
If the point of their latest liefest was to increase support for Firestorm, they failed.
Of course, if you have a computer that can't handle V3, it can't handle Firestorm. Firestorm usually crashes because the hardware of drivers are old, out of date or poorly maintained by the owner. And in fact, it's the driver that crashes, or it's the hardware overheating.
ReplyDeleteMy computer is under two years old, has eight GB of RAM, a monster graphics card, and a terabyte hard drive. The problem isn't hardware. It's software. It always has been.
