Hello all,
I've just been testing for a few weeks the experimental v1.26.5 branch on the Mac, and basically, I won't use it: I'm not on a very high end configuration and the impact of the new renderer on performance is just too high for me. In most regions, things take several minutes to rez correctly and even when they have, I often can hardly move at all, or with ridiculous FPS. Deferred rendering is totally out of the question for me: I can't even turn it on on 1.26.4, and on 1.26.5, when I do, it becomes basically impossible to do anything.
So here is my question: is there any plan to continue support for the current stable branch (1.26.4)? The latest build for the Mac is version 1.26.4(20), while the latest available version on other platforms is 1.26.4(35), so the Mac one is lagging behind quite a lot… It would be very nice to continue to support it, not everyone has a gamer's PC with a top of the pop graphics card and fiber cable, really… For these, a more 'low end' renderer is really needed, as it is for me…
Thanks!
