Linden Lab launches Second Life Enterprise beta today
I can't see voice being a major hurdle as it was brought in with the first look viewer which has been tested for quite some time now.
I don't know if this is due to the connection from Australia to the US, or the LL servers themselves. The connection to the US seems to be okay when I test it using www.speedtest.net. Using the new Virgin G3 network, they give me a download speed of about 700 kbs. The latency is about .729 seconds, but that does not explain why it takes forever for inventory to come up.
I put off downloading the first version of the voice viewer as I knew I'd be wasting my time with it - that the would be at least 1 updated version to fix whatever co**ups they embedded in the first viewer... and I was right.
I've now installed the latest viewer and so far I've had nothing but problems getting voice to be anywhere near stable. This was not a problem I had on either the Beta or the First Look Viewer Voice.
... and I still hard freeze regularly.
The latest viewer is tooooooooooo ooooo ooooo slow and laggy for my liking with voice turned on - so it's off, and I will continue to use my keyboard - and Skype when I wanna talk to someone in particular.
... about the same really - other than last fortnight's total screwup.
But as screwups go - par for the course, and SL is just as much a gamble as ever - but hey, I'm an addict so I'll put up with a lot just to get my fix.
