Viewer Bug Reports

This problem started cropping up after the introduction of PBR. We have had many reports of this in Firestorm support, and it does repro on the official SL viewer. The problem generally involves letter/number displays that are scripted to change. Other parts of the object are not affected. Typically the scripted item will make its texture change, and the texture will rez, blur, rez, over and over, or simply remain in an unreadable, blurry state. Right clicking the item or putting it into edit mode will often cause the textures to completely rez. Once the item is deselected, it blurs again.

Textures in every viewer since the PBR update have now been unloading and reloading, often times failing to do so, and remaining blurry. I have tried everything suggested such as whitelisting viewers and their features, but I know I'm not the only one experiencing this. This is completely game breaking and as a texture artist it's near impossible to have a consistent workflow when half the time my textures aren't loading in. I have a new GPU and plenty of RAM to spare and then some so it's not my computer. I have been able to go into the EDIT menu and have it load in, but it does this for the diffuse texture only, and when exiting the menu it will go back to attempt its reloading cycle with multiple failures. PLEASE FIX THIS.

I'm not sure how to reproduce it as it seems to happen at various times. Since the latest update, this is the 3rd time I have crashed. The first time I just finished TPing around to about 4 different sims. The 2nd I was sitting at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Kahuna%20Sunrise/48/245/22 I was editing a texture in GIMP when Sl just quit without warning. The third was tonight. There was a bunch of issues. First, I teleported to http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Builders%20Brewery/20/33/608 to prepare for a class. I had to relog because my inventory didn't load. After setting up for class, I went afk to await students. When I cam beck SL crashed. I logged in again only to find my inventory didn't load so I had to relog a 3rd time.

A few groups I manage are not showing the number of group members accurately overall and in roles. Searching for members you know are in the group and even verifying with them they still are aren't working either.

Noticed this on the SIM I'm on, two firepits not playing transparent animated GIFs.

I noticed such an avatar bug, when another person's avatar sits on some object, it becomes invisible, as if invisible, but when it gets up it is visible or vice versa, the same when sitting on an object

Viewers Tested: Alchemy Beta 7.1.9.2501 (64bit) Second Life Release 7.1.10.10800445603 (64bit) Firestorm 7.1.11 (76720) Nov 9 2024 02:03:12 (64bit / AVX2) All 3 of these viewers all exhibit the same issue where, if anything even a little graphically intensive starts to occur (busy sims, a second viewer is opened, this sort of thing), the viewers quickly start to flicker black across the entire viewers window, minus the windows surround and titlebar. I am currently using Firestorm 6.6.17 (70368) Dec 10 2023 18:36:33 (64bit / SSE2) as it is the latest pre-PBR viewer as my daily driver because it and any other pre-PBR viewers I try do not exhibit this issue. I don't exhibit any issues with other programs/games that I've been able to determine and you can see from the specs below I should have no problem with the requirements for PBR viewers. This issue seems to be exclusively the domain of the PBR renderer for SL as it is viewer agnostic. I have completely re-installed Windows twice both on Windows 11 23H2 and 24H2 updates, I have run memtest86 for hours with zero errors and I have borrowed my partners GPU and PSU all to no effect. I have taken videos of the issues in each browser and obtained the logs for each, however I'm unable to upload them to the ticket as the videos are too big and the logs are zipped up and that filetype is apparently unsupported so I've put them in my onedrive and attached the links below, if you'd like be to upload them elsewhere, just say where and I'll re-upload them.

Vram memory, I have 12 GB, the card maker shows I have 6 GB available you show I have 12MB available so my textures are all fuzzed out. https://gyazo.com/23bc7f1bf13a05c51c40f759bdd657d2

Ever since Second Life Viewer (7.1.9.10495892574) parcel music has been hard to start. It's fairly repeatable but not guaranteed. _Sometimes_ changing regions out and back will fix it. Always relogging will fix it. Coincident with this, application audio capture apps (I use Rogue Amoeba's Audio Hijack) are no longer able to capture SL audio output. The impact is severe for my DJ work. Both symptoms make it very hard to monitor in-world audio. PS I have the folks at Rogue Amoeba looking into this too, but as they use the new macOS audio capture API the solution is probably in the hands of Linden Lab and/or Apple. I am hoping you can roll back/fix whatever commit broke this.
