Tracers?

For the past two or three days, i've been seeing what I can only describe as tracers...sometimes around objects, but more often around people. At times, if the person is standing still, it looks like blue or red triangular puffs of smoke billowing from the person.

Others do not see this, but it shows up when I take a snapshot...and I can send a picture to anyone who wants to see what I am talking about.

Has anyone else had this problem? I did not download the latest, and I did try emptying my cache, relogging, and even rebooting my computer.

Any ideas?

Okay....why in the wide world of all that is technical did LL make THIS option persistant across logins, but NOT make the Disable Camera Constraints option persistant?

I mean, a reason other than the programmers just being retarded.

Well, I meant more that LL should make the Show Updates option NOT persistant, more than making the camera option persistant *chuckles*Backwards think LL again is.

Keep that bag handy - the viewer hasn't gone into general release yet. There's still time for it to revert back to one-off :D
