Lights Have Disappeared in the New Viewer :

I just downloaded the new viewer (not the beta).

Logged on and noticed that the lights in my mall aren't giving any light. They're still there physically, but they're just not doing anything.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

You have to actually be near the lights in order for them to emit light. If you're hovering 50 meters away, they won't look like they're emitting light. Fly up next to them and see what happens then.

Check your graphics settings. Lights have 3 levels (none, sun/moon/sky only, and nearest 6 sources). It may be that installing the newer version reset your lights setting.

Thank's both - it was the settings - forgot about that. I think they should enable it by default.

Damn, just noticed they've removed the performance indicators as well. Already missing them; I used to make sure they were always OK before I did any transactions or inventory stuff.

I don't like this new browser; it's slightly more laggy for me as well so far.

Nicholaz's viewer has restored the performance indicators. Because it manages memory a bit better for low-end machines, some find it snappier as well. His versions are built using LL's code as a base, with his fixes added, so you are also getting LL's new search etc.. Note that he also has an old-style communicate (IM/chat/friends) UI.
