OnRez Viewer Update!
Today we’re releasing an updated OnRez Viewer. This release marks a milestone as we are releasing an update to the original CSI branded Onrez Viewer and are also launching an OnRez branded Viewer. You can download the OnRez Viewer from the Viewer site. If you already have the CSI Viewer then you’ll be offered an update automatically, and it will retain the CSI branding.
Some notable changes in this version (detailed release notes here):
- We’ve added “The Loop” a web page to keep you up to date on new and cool things in Second Life
- Several exit-time crashes identified and fixed.
- CTRL-T keyboard shortcut restored; now brings up the IM History window (if there are any IMs in the history)
Thanks and Happy Holidays!

I think OnRez has done a great job thinking through the the menus and making OnRez a very user-friendly viewer. Yesterday when I was using it, though, I noticed OnRez has the same problem as Linden viewers of depositing avatar attachments in embarrassing places during teleport. Were you aware that the Nicholaz version of the SL viewer may have solved that problem? It might be worth collaborating with them to improve the code in the OnRez viewer. Nicholaz Beresford is the genius behind the code. His blog is at http://nicholaz-beresford.blogspot.com/

you write
“Unfortunately, if your graphics card includes any of the following words, it’s NOT compatible with Second Life:
nVidia cards that report as a RIVA TNT or TNT2″
This is not true anymore since summer 2007: Both the original SL client and the OnRez client work well on a Piii-550 PC with TNT2 graphics card (32 MB Ram.)
Especially the graphics performance with your OnRez client is MUCH better than that of the original SL viewer, IMHO
