Hi Ona Waffle. I am not aware of any update/solution for this. Your example is the same as I'm experiencing. If you haven't already, check the Jira (link is a few posts up in this thread), it may give you some things to try - or at least not waste time trying :) Good luck!!! Cheers.

Hi all, If it's appropriate for me to add this link here, this a bug report on this subject https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-230637 If this seems to be similar to your experience, feel free to visit that link and add info if it may help.

LL support suggested I file a jira for this newest issue, and I have. Thanks for input, hopefully we can get our 3D input back soon! :)

Thanks for the extra five cents Cassandrelle! This pretty much matches what I've been seeing though helpful to know that it's affecting other controllers beyond SpaceNavigator, and not affecting Windows10. LL support has responded to me and I've given them a comprehensive list of my troubleshooting that brought me to my "this is a bug" conclusion but so far we're still in the "check out our wiki [7yo] page for help" stage of things. If others let LL support know their experience/findings perhaps they will understand it's an issue beyond user-error. I agree that it's not a problem with the device or driver.

I checked with 3DConnexion and someone looked into this issue a bit. They tell me that while LL supports SpaceNavigator they don't specifically use 3DConnexion's drivers. That's why back in the day we could run the SpaceNavigator with no 3DConnexion drivers loaded on our machines. The thinking right now is that it may have something to do with some sort of server update (or bug) on LL's end, but unless a Linden chimes in we won't know what's up. I'd think if they were dropping support they'd give a heads up, so I suspect it may just resume working again when they're done with their updates.

This is happening for me as well. Was working great as usual - then yesterday just stopped mid-session. Going to Joystick Configuration showed SpaceNavigator as an option but wouldn't let me select. Relogging and trying again, now not showing as an option - shows up as "mouse". Same in Firestorm, SL viewer, and Singularity. Still works perfectly in my work software (cad and others). Tried everything I could think of. Any luck here? I posted a new thread on this topic as well as an open ticket. Hope to get some insight on this. (SpaceNavigator 10.6.5 wired; MacPro 6,1; macos 10.15.7)

I suddenly began having trouble using a SpaceNavigator in SL. I have been using this without difficulty for a few years. I am connected to a MacPro (desktop, not notebook) to an onboard USB port, with a kensington trackball, same wired setup to another USB port for my main mouse. The Mac is macOS10.15.7 and the SpaceNavigator is 10.6.5. SL being accessed mainly with latest Firestorm but also same in SL and Singularity viewers. So I was wandering around the grid yesterday as usual and suddenly lost the SpaceNavigator. This happens rarely, and when it does an unplug/replug cures it, sometimes requiring a trip to the Joystick Configuration in Preferences. In this case, going to Joystick configuration showed “none” for Joystick. Clicking the pulldown, it showed SpaceNavigator but would not let me click it, reverting back to None as soon as I did. Relogging and trying again was same. Later in the day I tried again and this time, now the pulldown in Joystick Configuration now shows “mouse” as my only choice. The appearance of this is a progressive error occurring over the course fo the day - first the SpaceNavigator stopped, next the Viewer(s) stopped allowing me to select SpaceNavigator, and then stopped offering SpaceNavigator to me as an option. Nothing has been adjusted software/hardware on my computer to cause this, I am careful about upsetting the applecart because I rely on CAD software and others such as Blender for work and the SpaceNavigator continues to function normally everywhere but the SL environment. I tried a bunch of different troubleshooting methods. Grabbed the 10.6.7 driver update, it didn’t help and (after that i downgraded back to 10.6.5 as SpaceNavigator is not on the device list for 10.6.7). I reloaded SpaceNavigator drivers and Firestorm App from a few-days-old backup when it was working, in case some corruption cropped up, no luck. This cropped up on its own mid session while in SL. I kinda wonder if this is a sever-side thing… though it otherwise works like a champ I know the device is an older one (considered discontinued/legacy by 3DConnexion) and wonder if SL phased out compatibility and it’s caught up to me…? Any advice/clues would be very appreciated. I have submitted a ticket and will follow up if I get anywhere... Thanks! --Korach

I am currently renting a house in a well-run sim. This house has a typical security panel in which I can add, remove, or eject avatars and can view the history to see who has been on property. I have been adding friends to my list successfully however there has been one that I cannot seem to add. When I enter the name - just like I've successfully done with all the others and ensuring it's correct - it simply does not go into my list. No error, just doesn't appear. I've tried many different variations on the name (case sensitive or not, etc...) with no luck. Not sure what's wrong, I do not believe anything is blocked or muted as other interaction seems to occur with no problem. Additionally, there are two friends that - whey they do visit - do not appear on my visitor history, though they are on my list. Other visitors on my list do appear. Any advice on what is going on? The security seems to function normally otherwise, cloaking, etc. but wondering if maybe something needs a reset? Thanks for any helpful advice.

I am using the most current release of Firestorm Viewer for Mac on a Mac Pro running OSX 10.11.6 and recently installed a 3Dconnexion Space Navigator. When I plug in the Space Navigator, I can go into Firestorm preferences, enable Joystick, and it works beautifully - all without loading any drivers from 3Dconnexion. However... in order to use the device in my Architectural CAD software for my "real life" work, I need to load the 3Dconnexion driver (10.4.4, currently the latest & greatest). When this driver is loaded, the device works beautifully with my CAD software but Firestorm Viewer spins wildly out of control and is completely unusable. No sort of calibration or adjustment to either the driver settings or the Firestorm joystick configuration settings has worked. Uninstalling the driver restores full functionality to Firestorm Viewer but kills it for my Cad software. I tried installing an older version of the driver from 3Dconnexion's Legacy Downloads page, it did not help. Re-installation of the driver just duplicates the issue, and clean re-install of Firestorm did not help. (FWIW, behavior is same with the official SL viewer). Need to use this version of OSX for compatibility purposes with some older work-related software. Stumped, right now my workaround is to not use it in Firestorm, but would love to get function back. Any helpful advice will be appreciated. Thanks folks.
