water broken everywhere?

Hi, I was looking at some land by the water but the SL water does not
display correctly apon entering the sim.

So the user sees the water from connecting sims but not the sim they
have just teleported to and are currently in.

The only way to fix I have found, is to leave the sim and fly back in,
or to goto World->Region/Estate... which will display the water instantly.

Even after the user has gone to Region/Estate in the menu, the water
is not fixed completly, now the water in the Other sims turn off from time
to time as the camera or user moves about.

This is not just me, I have confirmed with others, so my question is, 1) wtf,
2) is there plans to fix this in an upcomming patch?

This is fixed in the firstlook client.

I have a similer problem, when ever I come to my land, I have to go to regions to get the water to show up (on land). My real estate agent said it was a bug...........I've not complained since I thought it would get fixed eventually???


What do we do to get this fixed........is a minor annoyance.....

Thanks for your reply Meni,
I went to the page to get more info at ....

The first look seems to have fixed this bug,

but when will this bug fix make it into the standard client?

thanks,

The latest blog article says: "We plan on rolling out the server side of 1.13.4 next Wednesday. An optional viewer will be posted shortly thereafter and include the changes from the First Look: Render Pipeline Improvements branch as well as countless other fixes."

They still call it an 'optional' viewer.. I've no idea when they make the first look client official. But it does not look like they will fix bugs in the 'original' viewer.

Meni

But impossible to fix in the original client for some reason, even though it worked before?

And I've still only seen this occur twice in 4 months, water in sims near my home and elswere I've visited has been fine.

LL has shown again and again, "fixed" on beta grind can be unpredictable on real grid, ill belive it when its been on main grid awhile to belive it.
