I've been having some issues with the new update. I finally narrowed it down to HUD attachments. It occurs at random times. I've updated my drivers. I reinstalled SL. Very odd behavior. Any ideas.

Hm I had heard there were some issues with HUDs but that they only affected some people. My council of wyrmlings group announced something to that effect. I had thought they patched a bug fix right after to fix that issue though...

I put on an HUD once earlier today (after I'd figured out how to stop myself from crashing like mad) but I didn't try using it. Is it only when you press something on it or was it doing it when you just wore it?

I mean, like, I can't help on this one but maybe someone else can. o.o;; I'm just nosy...

Its seems to crash when i use a "touch" event. i pulled out an older machine and am about to test on it. Very bizarre.

New Computer
AMD 64 4000+ with 2.00GB of Ram
2x NIVIDA GeForce 6600GT

Old Computer
AMD Athlon XP 3000+
512 MB of RAM
RADEON 9800 PRO

Ok I got the issue down to one script call. I have a testing HUD which fires off seven link_message events.

The old computer can handle it.
The new crashes immediatley.

This didn't occur before the latest release.

And ideas.

Its a single processor. The crash occurs with listens too but only when attached as a HUD. Very strange.
