7.1.12.13550888671 - ForeverFPS Wednesday, March 5, 2025 Release Notes Second Life Viewer - ForeverFPS With this release we are continuing to refine performance and fix crashes. We are monitoring performance metrics broadly and for discrete GPUs with the goal of improving FPS “forever”.
A new graphics setting has also been included: Max LOD Resolution. This allows users to limit texture sizes to the selected resolution in order to reduce VRAM load and data consumption.
Blinding skies, begone! Users on low graphics settings were experiencing extremely bright PBR skies. This has now been resolved.
Please welcome support for water exclusion surfaces! (i.e. what is required for the very much loved “invisiprims”)
Many users expressed concerns about the appearance of water in PBR viewers, so some extra love and care has been added. We’d love to hear your thoughts on these latest water changes.
This release includes 20 Picks! As long as you are on a region running server version 2025-02-14 or later.
For all Second Life viewers you may file a bug report directly at https://feedback.secondlife.com
