from the release notes...

From: someone

GeForce FX cards: The shoulder joints and hip joints will appear
disconnected. This will be fixed in the next major release of Second Life.
(nVidia no longer supports GL_EXT_vertex_weighting or GL_ARB_vertex_blend,
which we were using to join the limbs to the torso. The next version of
Second Life will use vertex shaders to accomplish this effect.)

I think this is affecting non FX GeForce cards to.. at least its affecting mine. Also the rest of the joints dont always look connected either.

I'm running...
P4 2.4GHz
512megs ram
Hercules GeForce 2 GTS 32meg (nVidia 43.45 drivers)
WinXP pro (no sp1, but most of the other updates)
DirectX 9

using SL client 0.5.0

I checked the knowledge base, the forums etc.. and didnt see any info about this other than in the release notes.

Does the problem go away with 41.09 drivers?

I'm running the exact same card and the 41's. No problems.

I'm wary about installing the brand new 43's...

I think it is an issue with the 43.x drivers, which means if you can, downgrade to 41.09 and see if that fixes it, for now. I know some of the latest FX cards aren't supported in the older drivers...in which case just wait I guess.

Rolling back to the 41.09 drivers solved the problem for me. Everything looks great now.
