Sorry about that...__THIS WEEK__
We found and addressed two problems with the 1.8.2(6) release in the optional update 1.8.2(7) on Thursday:
* Debug > Show Updates would crash the viewer when selected
* On systems where the Graphics Card Memory could not be detected, the default value (16MB) would be chosen
We were able to stop the Show Updates crash, but not fix the underlying cause. This will be addressed in an upcoming version.
In cases where we could not properly detect the correct amount of VRAM, we will now offer the choice to set the value to match your card. Of course, setting the value higher than your existing VRAM will cause poor performance.
Finally, some people were trying to use the "-noprobe" flag to solve the bug in 1.8.2(6). This should NOT be used as it prevents us from properly detecting hardware which may result in Second Life being unusable for that session. Be sure to remove this flag from your Second Life shortcut if you have tried it as a workaround!
__UPCOMING FIXES__
We are working on fixes for the following issues for the next release of Second Life:
* Avatar hip movement looks wrong when using uploaded animations
* You should only be able to zoom in on a HUD attachment if you are in Edit mode
* Linked prim sometimes disappears after an object update (llSetColor, llSetLinkColor) in complex scripted objects
* System reports 256MB VRAM, but 128MB is selected for Graphics Card Memory instead and cannot be increased
It's always possible that we will NOT be able to fix these issues in the next release, but we're giving it our best!
