Mobile Bugs

I'm not sure if this is technically a bug or expected since it's caused by changing an option under developer tools, but I couldn't find any docs around the texture format (or any of the dev tools options) and the KTX2 option isn't marked experimental. Other formats such as PNG, and the ASTC formats up to 12x12 work without issue. This seems to affect both PBR and non-PBR materials. Some alpha materials appear to render in white on the transparent portions. Avatar textures are unaffected as expected. Steps to Reproduce: Go into developer tools Set Texture Format (non-avatar) to "Khronos KTX2 w/ BasisU" Restart the viewer for the change to take effect. Log in and all non-avatar textures are rendered as black. Device: [REDACTED 1] Android version: [REDACTED 2] Viewer version: 2025.1.542

In February of last year the avatar had no rendering problems, you could walk around and visit the sims without any major problems, sometimes if there were too many objects it would crash, but the experience of visiting the places in Sl was pleasant with the mobile, then they started making changes to give more options and it no longer rendered the avatar, it got worse and worse until about a month ago it started rendering the avatar correctly again. But, it is impossible to move normally, it is more like a long race that makes it impossible to control the avatar. If you fall into the water and have to fly, it starts flying out of control, higher and higher. To download, it is very complicated, you have to restart the app. If you are not lucky when downloading the avatar it starts jumping, for this the only solution is to close the app and wait a minimum of 15 minutes or enter and it continues jumping. If you decide, well, I only use the chat app. When you change windows, after half an hour at most, the app crashes and you have to restart it twice, because the first one is still frozen. I use an iPhone 14. Also, if you enter the mobile app when you enter with the laptop, you have lost all the notifications. In case anyone gets to the end of this post, I will say that this is a summary of all my posts during a year of using this app and the end of my reflection.

The Mobile Client has some major flaws: Avatar Deformation – Unsupported Attachments and Outfit Limitations Certain attachments (likely Animesh) are unsupported, causing avatars to appear as horrific, glitchy abominations. The problem is compounded by the fact that the Second Life Mobile Client does not allow for the removal of individual attachments – only entire outfits can be swapped. To fix this, I am forced to log in via Lumiya – a third-party app that hasn’t been updated in ten years – just to detach the offending attachments. The fact that a decade-old app is required to perform such a basic task is beyond unacceptable. Severe Avatar Glitches (Furry Avatars in Particular) Many avatars – especially furry avatars – are deformed, with protruding, bulging eyes. But it doesn’t stop there. Standing poses are often deformed as well , with noticeable issues in leg spacing – the legs appear too close together, as if the avatar’s hip width isn’t rendered correctly. This exact problem also exists in Lumiya, which is ten years old and uses an entirely different rendering engine. How is it possible that the brand-new Second Life Mobile Viewer struggles with avatar skeletons at the same level as Lumiya? This suggests either a lack of engine optimization or poor avatar skeleton support. Linden Lab must address this immediately – there is no excuse for launching with such glaring issues. No HUD Access – A Basic Feature Missing HUD access is essential. The inability to disable my scripted AO via HUD forces me, once again, to switch to Lumiya just to perform basic interactions like sitting on furniture. HUDs are a cornerstone of Second Life’s user experience – omitting them in the mobile client effectively cripples the app’s functionality. Broken Sitting Poses When attempting to sit, my avatar lands in random positions, often nowhere near the intended sit point. This makes social interaction and basic in-world engagement frustrating and impractical. Invisible Camera Button – UX Disaster The camera button is invisible while in use, forcing users to blindly tap around the screen to find it. Why does the entire screen not act as a draggable interface for camera movement, as Lumiya allows? This is basic functionality, and its absence severely impacts usability. Frequent Logouts – The “Fix” Is a Joke The app logs me out after just a few minutes in the background. Previously, I raised a bug report about being logged out after one minute, which was marked as fixed . Now it’s five minutes. This is not a solution – it’s moving the goalpost. Do you expect users to submit a new report every time the timeout shifts by a few minutes? This demonstrates a lack of commitment to solving the root problem. Other Avatars Disappearing Completely Another glaring issue – avatars frequently vanish entirely when they sit on objects. This includes their nametags, making them fully invisible to others. This issue occurs consistently, creating a deeply frustrating experience for group interactions and social events. Sincerely, MartinRJ Fayray

just use the app, basically.

I don't have a Premium, Premium Plus or Plus account. My account is free. They said it is available to everyone, but when I try to log in, it requires me to first log in with a Premium, Premium Plus or Plus account to unlock the device.

I have a tail with a bell that loops a sound when I walk, and stops that loop when I stop walking. On mobile the looping sound never stops no matter how many times I move/stop moving my avatar

Offline IMs need to continue to go to email, As well as the mobile client (which they do Not) and Desktop version. I’ve lost numerous IMs from friends - do better. Nobody is going to remember what they sent to resend it!

(both iOS and Android) Animesh content isn't shown. All and only the animesh links are missing from a helicopter that is mostly (including the root) non-Animesh. Other animesh objects are just not shown in the viewer. (I have a hunch I'm reporting well known Mobile bugs, but I don't seem to find them in Canny.)

My account simply does not teleport anywhere, I click on all the destinations in the mobile showcase, the destination guide and my favorite places and nothing happens, I created a new secondary account to test and guess what? I was able to teleport! Is it something with my account? Can you solve this please? The device I use is the iPhone XR with iOS 18.
