Second Life 3.2.4 (246439) no sims on world map and ground textures changed

[June Trefoil]

I was hoping that this update would fix the World Map for me where ticking land-for-sale caused the sim tiles containing the parcels for sale to disappear.  But in this update, none of the sim tiles display now whether i have land-fo-sale ticked or not.

In addtion, some of the ground textures have changed.  For example, grassy areas are now rocky, and the infamous Atoll coral is now grassy.

Not sure how to proceed.  The jiras about the map tiles that I found are marked resolved (but they haven't been resolved for me since October), and I don't see a jira about the ground textures.

Here are the Map jiras:

Here's my computer specs:

I noticed the change in ground textures with 3.2.4 as well.  Funny thing is I saw the same change with the released version of Firestorm.  So I'm not sure what is causing that particular problem.  I've rolled back to 3.2.1 because of the viewer sizing bug so will be curious to see how this one plays out.

The latest update changed a lot of things with the internal graphics structure of the viewer to make it behave better on new graphics cards. I see you're still stll running Mac OS Leopard - I've heard people having problems with Leopard and the new graphics. Also, your video drivers seem very old - your OpenGL version is 2.0 and the current version is 4.2.

Thanks for your responses.  I'm looking into upgrading to Snow Leopard.  I guess it's time.  In the meantime, I'm going back to the previous viewer version.
