I updated my viewer this week, including both the Snowglobe and the Cool VL patch. I now find that all sims rez extremely slowly; I mean it can take 15 minutes before avs and textures finally change from gray. I've cranked my Graphics settings from High down to Low, with draw distance of 64 to 96, and even that's not helping.
I've had this problem with all the viewers since Emerald disappeared EXCEPT Cool VL, which is why I've chosen it. So what I'm wondering is if this instant change will help me track down where my problem is. Poor CPU? (It's a Intel Xeon w/4GB.) Old card? (Nvidia GeForce 8800 1/ 1GB.) Not like my O/S? (Win 7-64.) Internet? (Cable; speed test reads around 40 Mbps download.)
Would really help to know if there was some major change between the last Snowglobe/Cool release and this one in how things get rendered. You folks sound REALLY SMART about this stuff.
So, big questions are: Should I go back to the older versions? Is it worth upgrading the graphics card? OR--do I hold off until I replace the PC with something like a Intel i7?
Appreciate any advice; it's really frustrating because I really like Cool VL!

The Cool VL Viewer v1.25 is actually faster at rezzing textures than v1.23 was because of HTTP fetching of the said textures. However, if your network is badly configured (search this forum for "MTU" and read the messages I already posted about it), it could result in failures to fetch the textures and numerous retries. Try disabling HTTP texture fetching (in Advanced -> Rendering -> HTTP Get Textures) and see if it works like v1.23 did for you. In the affirmative, check your network settings (MTU, badly configured firewall, etc).

After seeing that DrTCP does not work with Win Vista/7, I found this very helpful page: http://networking.nitecruzr.net/2007/11 ... vista.html ...that tells you how to easily check and/or change your MTU setting. Hope this helps!
