How did i break my viewers?

[Zack Vedrina]

Okay. So.

During the last run of server code rollouts, something  changed in my viewer/pc. Hell, it could even have been the server code  for all i know. During the time the server was updated, i was running  both a virus scan and a defrag.

So. As soon as i relog from these  three events, i notice something weird. Things are derendering,  seemingly at random. I have my draw distance at 500m and things 30m away  are randomly dissapearing. People will vanish for no reason at all and  without warning. The things aren't even small. My damn space freighter  dissapeared in front of my face for no reason. It usually occurs when my  camera is moving.

HALP! What in the name of hell is wrong

I've  tried reinstalling Phoenix. I've tried Imprudence, emergence and even  snowglobe. All of the viewers i have seem to have the same issue

You ran a defrag at the same time as a virus scan?  I would say that you are possibly lucky that any of your programs work, including your base OS.

Whoops. Sometimes i fail fairly impressively

My first reaction would be to update and reinstall the graphics drivers.  Also check to see if you are using Hardware rendering and perhaps change that setting.

Having your draw distance at 500 is ridiculously excessive. There's no need to know what's going on 3 sims away. Try 128, or better yet 64.

Already updated GFX drivers to the latest version. However, i have NO idea what hardware rendering is

If you are seeing this problem on specific Regions, this might be this issue reported on Bug Tracker

• SVC-6430

Objects de-render behind you when you look away, issue differs in ammount of objects de-rendered based on the used client.

Regions affected appear to be running Server Versions

• 10.10.18.212360
• 10.10.20.212725

Go to Help > About Second Life to see which Server Version the Region is running.

Please see the comments from Maestro Linden on the issue.

Thank you. I was hoping it was a server bug rather than me failing at technology
