Description

relates to a JIRA raised a while back on FS and updated in last week

"after 15+ minutes after loading any sim , this is what my viewer looks like... https://prnt.sc/wbge6i7iSj-3 notice how the textures in the background are not loading? here is some more info that might help. https://prnt.sc/fOmygdB_oG10 https://prnt.sc/AcFPrlGgls64 ,i also put my preference settings to MID, and still has same issue. i have the same issue sometimes with the latest public release as well. but with the alpha it happends everytime. i thankyou for your time and patience and understanding and help in this matter. i asked in the group and they said i should file a ticket here because no one could figure out why i am having this issue."

This same issue is occuring for me on latest alchemy beta - its not quite as bad as FS (i think due to Alchemy's better overall performance) but its still there and a major issue/show stopper

The issue appears not to be present in the released SL viewer 7.1.9.74696

Mesh loads ok , but textures randomly load - some pretty quick, then others remain gray .. forever (relog sometimes alters things but then other textures dont load) - even on low graphics settings I have maxed cache size, cleared cache, ensured no firewalls etc, - problem not solved sadly. Issue occurs on both quiet (no avs apart from me) and busy (lots of avs) sims

For LOTS more info / background, including contributions from others - see FS JIRA https://jira.firestormviewer.org/browse/FIRE-34034

Further info and screenshots illustrating the problem : Alchemy viewer (betas version above) https://gyazo.com/c0e50aba8cfdc0fb0ad1ae6914533f4a LL viewer https://gyazo.com/132a780f3c9fe0377f4e3acf65636cd4

Taken at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Panfield/132/99/3522 (zoomed out a bit)

Just to note (albeit previously covered). The Alchemy screenshot/situation is like this after being logged in for well over 30 mins (min estimate), the SL screenshot after less than 60 seconds both viewers fixed on one notch to the right of low settings slider i.e in between low and mid dd = 96m on both viewers

Reproduction steps

(try with normal cache and also cleared cache) (try with low settings and also mid/high)

  1. Go to a medium to complex (objects wise) sim/parcel and/or one with lots of traffic
  2. Note that some textures will come through pretty quick
  3. Then... things get "stuck" ... for AGES - textures stay grey and/or blurry (but mainly grey)
  4. Try exactly the same (keep as similar settings as you can) on SL viewer - textures will likely load fine and pretty quick
