This section lists various options in terms of your Second Life experience, driven by a piece of software known as the "viewer". Unfortunately, the default options for the Second Life viewer are not exactly optimal. Nor is Linden's official release of the viewer always the best.
First, there are other viewers available other than the "stock" viewer. As it turns out, sadly enough, most of them are better than the default viewer. Sad. That said, after looking around a bit, I decided The Cool SL Viewer was the one I wanted to run.
Why? Here are my reasons:
- Cool is easier to use.
- Cool is faster.
- Cool has bugfixes that can't be found anywhere else.
- Cool has Restrained Life Viewer compatibility.
However, as it turns out any and all viewers based on the Liden Labs official viewer are sadly broken. So, for now, I run a viewer called Snowglobe.
Here are the sanest choices in terms of a Second Life viewer, for now:
- The Cool SL Viewer v1.22.x (if you can wait or -really- want RLV)
- Linden's Snowglobe v1.02.x (if you can't wait or are ignoring RLV until it's more useful)
