Second Life Viewer - ForeverFPS Beta

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.

Some users were experiencing a crash on exit with previous ForeverFPS builds. This should now be resolved, please let us know if you are still crashing while exiting the viewer.

For all Second Life viewers you may file a bug report directly at https://feedback.secondlife.com
