Those pkgver lines are identical.

The following pkgver and b2sum will be useless after the next Firestorm update:

While we wait for the maintainer to update this package and test it, you can change the PKGBUILD to install the newest version. To do this change the following

pkgver=7.2.2.79439 to pkgver=7.2.2.79439

First b2sums to cdf744a895a7c41afd84a8d3f1c219ef78385a758bc650fddcc0b5fea16e8728878e4b60107cbe3a1d3bdf350b2c6e7c5a461383febe5f861f0ffe642ca6e3ca

Do this at your own risk since I've done zero testing beyond logging in and trying voice chat. In the future you can download the tar file from Firestorm's website, run b2sum to get the hash, then update the pkgver with the new version, with dashes changed to dots, and the first b2sum with the new hash.

I want to point something out for people using this package:

Pacman is saying that dullahan_host is missing libcef.so. The library is included in the install and Firestorm seems to have no issue accessing it. I just wanted to point this out so new users won't think this error is critical, it's most likely meaningless.

Well I got the Firestrom up and running. @dix how did you get voice up and running?

I have installed the latest Release 7.1.13, and i don't crash on it, not one crash so far, which is a HUGE improvement, i kept crashing on the Beta's so that i had to go back to the older 6-version. I have big problems with sound though, what is the best setup in Arch for SL-sound? I use pipewire-pulse now, but the sound is bad in SL, It is good everywhere else, but SL is horrible.

For some reason, while running on EndeavourOS with the Arch Kernel version 6.12.8-arch1-1 (64-bit), the latest Firestorm-bin version has drastically reduced performance compared to the previous version. There is a lot of FPS stuttering and general latency issues, mainly when resuming window focus. My system runs a Ryzen 9 5900X, and a Nvidia 4070 Super with Nvidia Drivers, version 565.77. If there's any reason why this occurs, or any way I can offer more information to help, please let me know.

There is an issue with the LL shader files and mesa 23.3. It affects all SL viewers based on the official LL code (like Firestorm, Alchemy...). So if you are using a mesa driver (AMD or Intel), the viewer crashes while trying to load these files. Nvidia should be unaffected by this of course. Until there is a proper fix you can workaround this by downgrading mesa and related packages back to 1:24.2.7-1.

Hi. I'm on arch, but this stopped launching as of the recent -syu. I'm getting a segfault. Can this be looked at?

Kivarnis commented on 2024-11-25 03:10 (UTC)

This is no longer launching in CachyOS as of 24 to 48 hours ago. Complains about not finding fonts or some such, but nothing blatantly obvious.

This sounded promising, but I am still getting the same SDL_init() error.

I have removed "sdl12-compat" and installed "sdl" (from AUR). I have also re-installed "firestorm-bin". Not dice. Can anyone thing of a step I might gave skipped or done incorrectly?
