Im having the same issues. Couldnt logon to SL without installing the update. Now that i have installed it, everywhere i go there are crazy weird shapes everywhere and now i dont have any audio ! Im still looking on the SL site for a solution to this but thus far i havent found anything. If you come across the fix please send me an IM. Regards Colet Lowey

Older versions of the Second Life viewer 1.19.0 and 1.19.1 have been unsupported for awhile -- they are missing the latest bug fixes and updates of the official viewer (version 1.20 and higher). With recent security updates these old viewers are no longer able to connect to Second Life.

Some residents (on lower-end hardware) have preferred to use old versions for their predictable performance on their home computer. How can you achieve the same on the official viewer, 1.20 and 1.21? This page explains how!

Here are some suggestions, from most important to least:
