Whirly Fizzle

Can you make a video showing the effect? That would help a lot. Even a quick gyazo gif would help.

Possibly also related to your problem: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-6583

Shadows can sometimes flicker badly if Object-Object occlusion is enabled - though this is usually seen on Mac systems. Activate the Develop menu in the top menu bar with CTRL+ALT+Q. Develop -> Rendering -> Object-Object Occlusion -> Untick it. Does that help at all? If not, probably better to enable O-O Occlusion again as it can cause a performance hit when disabled.

No new bugs :smileysad:

As far as I'm aware there is no hidden option on the LL viewer to enable AZERTY support. Best thing to do is to file a feature request on the LL JIRA There is a very old JIRA issue asking for AZERTY support at VWR-16123

I could still play sl but voice would stop. Slvoice.exe crashing when you plug or unplug something into a USB post is a known viewer bug - see BUG-9172 - [Vivox 4.6.0017.21209] SLVoice crash on USB device change Give the HTTP Update RC viewer a try - http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Alternate_Viewers I'm fairly sure the voice crash bug is only fixed on this viewer version. This viewer probably won't help with your other problems though. It also has a rather large problem with outfit changes - you may get avatar bakes failing to update & attachments acting oddly.

Are you using the LL viewer? Since the CEF changes, this problem will happen on most (all?) Linux distros. The LL viewer isn't really compatible with Linux now. See BUG-10403 and linked issues.

What's your budget?

You can export shapes to your computer and reupload them. Instructions vary slightly for different viewers. To export a shape on LL viewer & Firestorm & any other V3 based TPV Wear the shape you want to export. Activate the Develop menu in the top menu bar using CTRL+ALT+Q Develop -> Avatar -> Character Tests -> Appearance to XML The LL viewer will give no feedback that the shape has been saved but you will find it in C:\Users\[uSERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SecondLife\logs The shape file will be named Your_Avatar_name_s_0000.xml or similar. Firestorm will pop up the file picker & you can choose where to save your shape & choose the file name. To reimport your saved shape you need a TPV to do it. For Firestorm: Create a new shape by opening inventory, click the + button -> New Body Parts -> New Shape Wear this new shape. Right click your avatar -> Edit appearance -> Edit shape. In the Editing Shape window, click the Import button bottom right & browse to your saved shape file. You will now be wearing your saved shape. Save changes to this shape inworld.

The test Firestorm DUI viewer is still available here: http://downloads.firestormviewer.org/windows/Phoenix-FirestormOS-aprilalpha-4-6-1-40484_Setup.exe (be aware it's really just a proof of concept to show it can be done and it's buggy). The code diff can be downloaded here for any devs that want to work on this feature: http://downloads.firestormviewer.org/beta/DUI.diff.gz Further info: http://www.firestormviewer.org/the-real-joke-dui-is-no-joke/

That looks like this bug, which is Mac specific & unfortunately has no workaround: BUG-8801 - A mesh viewing issue, possibly Mac-specific

The beta grid syncing is still broken. Currently LL support are handling the syncing manually on a case by case basis, so what you need to do each time you require a sync of password &/or inventory onto beta grid is to file a support ticket to request a sync - https://support.secondlife.com/create-case/

You mean like this? :smileywink:

Most viewers (including the LL viewer) do not have threaded file pickers. This means that if you have the file picker open for longer then ~ 1 min while choosing a texture to set as your profile image, you will get disconnected. If you are using Mac, you are probably suffering from the known File Picker crash - see http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_mesh_upload The workaround for Mac on that wiki page will work for Firestorm, LL viewer or any other V3 based TPV.

If your i7 is a Skylake processor & has Intel HD 500 graphics and you are running the viewer on the Intel graphics, rather then the Nvidia graphics, you may be suffering from this bug: Firestorm: FIRE-17290 - Screen flashes with certain graphics settings when any worn rigged mesh is in view textured with a diffuse texture set to alpha blending mode. LL Viewer: BUG-10819 - [intel HD Graphics 500 series] Screen flashes with certain graphics settings when any worn rigged mesh is in view textured with a diffuse texture set to alpha blending mode. Updating to the latest Intel graphics driver appears to fix this problem. Looks like you have an Optimus system so make sure the viewer using the Nvidia card & not the Intel Graphics. That will also fix the problem if it's the above bug.

Hmm strange. I can't view your web profile at all, either within the viewer (currently logged in on Second Life 4.0.2 (310545) Feb 1 2016 11:53:12 (Second Life Release)) ) or in Firefox web browser. I get a 500 error in both.  Is that the same problem your followers are seeing? Edit to Add: If I'm logged out of my.secondlife.com, I can see some of your profile info. As soon as I login, it breaks & gives the 500 error. When not logged in, Firefox web browser: I asked a few of my friends to check and they see the same problem but only when they are logged in. I would contact Linden Lab support directly by filing a ticket at https://support.secondlife.com/create-case/ I suspect Karen is correct & there is some non-standard character or some other corruption in part of your profile that only displays to logged in users (because of your privacy settings) that's breaking your profile being able to load. Support should be able to find this & fix it.

There's a fix lurking upstream for that bug: https://bitbucket.org/andreykproductengine/lynx-maint/commits/2e77fb7b61b66e8a55bd2b5f8359fdc03ddac5bf

Sounds like it's this bug: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-11042

Great! If you have one of the new Intel Skylake processors with Intel HD 500 graphics, you were probably getting bitten by BUG-10819 - [intel HD Graphics 500 series] Screen flashes with certain graphics settings when any worn rigged mesh is in view textured with a diffuse texture set to alpha blending mode.

I suspect that region has reached it's limit for Memory Allocated. When this happens, attempting to rez any object from inventory is likely to give you the message "Unable to rez object that has caused problems on this region" or when rezzing a fresh prim via build tools, the prim will rez but it will have no physics. Open stats with CTRL+SHIFT+1, Simulator -> Physics Details -> Memory Allocated. If this is a Homestead region, once memory allocated reaches ~230 MB, the region will shut down rezzing to protect itself. On a full region the limit is ~900MB. Restarting the region will fix the problem. Bug report: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-772

There are many different causes of screen flashing. In the top menu bar of the viewer, go to Help -> About Second Life / Viewer name, click the "Copy to clipboard" button & paste all your system information into a comment here.
