After today's update on Friday, November 5, 2021 to  6.4.24.565324    after spending a few minutes on a SIM my avatar loses its texture and turns Gray     https://prnt.sc/1yhofp3 this is what my avatar is supposed to look like https://prnt.sc/1yhoych

Yeah I think that update was maybe released accidentally, texture rezzing is terrible.
I filed a bug  BUG-231394 - [Project Viewer Performance Improvement] Texture rendering broken on 6.4.24.565324 (64bit)

[Dramatic increase in double-click-teleport accidents]

It's a bug BUG-231083 - Rapidly left clicking objects or attachments while the Edit menu is open triggers a double-click teleport.

Thank you 

[Firestorm Control Issue]

Hiya Eowyn,

Can you give me a MP link to one of the aircraft that behaves this way?

Does the same problem reproduce on the Linden Lab viewer from Downloads | Second Life  ?

I suspect the new "Controls" feature may have broken this. As far as I'm aware, Catznip & Singularity viewers do not yet have this feature but the LL viewer & Firestorm does.

[How to Fix Entry Point Not Found?]

Looks like there was a fix pushed today: https://bitbucket.org/lindenlab/viewer/commits/ee092c9c04f5160abbbe4cbfb4aeb86c422621a3

[Metabolt and Radegast]

If you are having login issues on Radegast, see https://radegast.life/2021/10/08/windows-7-cant-connect-solution/

This login issue is affecting other viewers based off libopenmetaverse too - see this bug report BUG-231303 - Scripted agents can no longer log in

[Firestorm login problem, reported and promptly fixed, but why just Firestorm?]

A problem hit Firestorm users late on Monday, affecting logins, pretty rapidly fixed, but it worries me, because I have no idea what makes Firestorm different from every other viewer.

Status reports on Firestorm login problem

At least I can rule out the Firestorm team doing something through Facebook, the timing is wrong for that, but this still feels strange.

There's nothing sinister to worry about.
The login issue affected any viewer that did not include this commit:  https://bitbucket.org/lindenlab/viewer/commits/56b02aee2eff313c45adbbf6f2d93493cb6cced2

FWIW, this also appears to prevent logins with Catznip, but I can confirm that the Linden viewer can login to Aditi (albeit after a long delay, as usual).

Yeah this will affect any viewer that doesn't have this commit in their release: https://vcs.firestormviewer.org/phoenix-firestorm/changeset/ca4e15c9303870ec79ba5fb6c2d7eb345abb58f9

Are you using Firestorm?
If so, it's related to this problem: https://status.secondlifegrid.net/incidents/x5kf74r6ttpj
 

LL didn't push the fix on Aditi yet.

For now, you should be able to login to Aditi on the LL viewer.

[Does this happen to anyone with large Marketplace inventory? Viewer hangs for 10 seconds when moving items in or out.]

Your problem sounds similar to BUG-230727 - MP window freezes when loading items from Inventory

[Disappearance of SomaFM streams]

The Soma FM music streams will still play via MOAP/shared media and via the viewer internal web browser.

[Disappearance of SomaFM streams]

Firestorm bug report: FIRE-31206 - Certain music streams unplayable in the viewer

So it appears SomaFM are blocking their streams on viewers using Fmod Studio as the audio decoder. Viewers still using the older Fmodex should still play the Soma streams.

Whirly? Do you know any music player that doesn't display "now playing information"? Anyone?

I'm afraid I don't.

There are a couple of bug reports on the JIRA reporting this now.

BUG-231204 - Certain music streams unplayable in the viewer

BUG-231205 - Lost connectivity with SomaFM

If you wish to raise the texture area limit, the debug setting is RenderAutoMuteSurfaceAreaLimit

Indeed it's now a 1024x1024 texture, thank you.  

Sadly the format would be also broken but I guess there is no way to get the information?

I'm not sure, but possibly @Chaser Zaks knows.

Just tried to access http://asset-cdn.glb.agni.lindenlab.com/?texture_id=a4214a17-527c-a525-094f-2831797304e9, I got a download, I renamed it to test.png but I'm unable to open it with the Windows Explorer. Did I miss something? (The UUID is a correct inworld texture)

Oh sorry, I forgot to explain that bit 

It's a JPEG2000 image.  The texture will be saved with the extension *.j2c.
Rename the extension to *.jp2.
The texture can then be opened in software that supports JPEG2000, for example Irfanview with the JPEG2000 plugin.
You can then convert to your chosen image format.
