Weird texture loading problem never seen before now

This texture loading problem has only shown itself after the recent set of patches. I go to a place, and instead of showing greyed out prims where objects are to indicate something is there until the texture loads, I now see nothing at all. They are totally invisible and it took 10 mins for my friend's place to fully rez for me. It was very disorienting because he would have parts of walls showing, parts of floors, parts of objects, objects floating on air, etc. When you have a busy building with multiple floors it starts to make you get queezy.

Now I tried right clicking on these invisible prims to get them to force load, like the floor of his building, but instead of it recognizing there is a prim there for a floor, it actually was selecting the walls and objects in his basement below! He also rezzed an object in an area that was totally invisible and not loaded to me, and I didn't see the item until he actually moved it to another section of the building that was fully rezzed.

I have no idea what is going on, I just know this is not right. Thanks

well im having a differnt issue.. but simular..

everything in bussy sims rezes grey and just kind of hangs out like that without loading the texture..

and yes.. i was in the sim for over an hour.. i think sl just gave up on me.
