Half of the house is invisible!

Seemingly since I've installed the latest viewer about 1 or 2 weeks ago I am having strange issues.
Like Half of a house (complex thing) is invisible.. and avatars show up on my screen after 10 minutes ...
It looks like I'd be connected to SL through a 54K dialup modem... but that is not the case :).

What is wrong with my viewer?
Why does it take for-ever for things to show up in my viwer?
I did set the visible distance to min. 64 .. still no chnage.

Anybody? Any idea?
Thanks.

Well, other than clearing your cache and re-logging...

This may sound odd, but try switching your group tag. For exanple, if you belong to two groups, "Woodland Furries" and "Furry Roleplayers", and are wearing the first one at the moment, open the groups control and switch to wearing the other one, and then back again. I don't know why, but this really does seem to help when attachments, nearby prims or other avatars don't immediately show up. Often, merely opening the groups control will cause them to start rezzing.

That has happened to me on occasion. Both times it was just SL having troubles. Cleared up later on.

*nods* I've noticed this issue, particularly with Windlight. It 'sometimes' render walls and objects. Also, if the wall has an alpha channel, it might be affected by the alpha sorting order issue inherit with OpenGL. This is most notable when you have two alpha textured items in front of or behind another.

Even a little Teddy Bear I am wearing doesn't show up!
If I right click on it I see the "yellow outlines" of the thing.
But otherwise is not visible :(

If you're using the Windlight viewer, it has an as yet unfixed bug where culled objects don't reappear when they should which eventually causes most of the stuff around you to vanish. If you're using the regular viewer I'm not sure what the problem could be. You might try a traceroute to see if there's a problem with your ISP or between your ISP and LL.

Make sure you check your bandwidth throttle under Preferences->Network. LL seems to like resetting this to 500k, which makes everything load slow. Crank it up to 1.5 mbps :)
