Ok this actually started up the night before the update, so I dont think that has anything to do with it.

Anywhere I go, whether I am in my home or in a store, doesnt matter, the room bounces around a little. Its most obvious when Im standing on an object, but it also does it a little when Im standing on land too. Even when I go into edit, the position arrows will bounce around. I never experianced this before the other night and I dont remember changing anything. Ive relogged and started a few times hoping it might help, but it doesnt change anything.

Anyone experianced this before?

Mud! Mud! Glorious mud! Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood.
So, follow me, follow, down to the hollow, And there let us wallow in glorious mud.

This started happening to me after the last update before this. Certain textures seem to pulse in and out of focus. I can't really pin it down to the version change because I had updated some drivers right around the same time. I have a pretty old system (GeForce MX 400) and that's no doubt part of my problem, but it wasn't happening before.

Wow I just assumed I was the only one this was going through this. I thought maybe I didn't attach the parts of my house together right or something. It is certainly annoying to be bouncing up and down.

Is it that the room is actually moving, or is it that your avatar is bouncing up and down and your camera is moving along with it? I've definitely seen THAT happen.

This is probably your video card running out of memory and loading a lower-resolution version of the texture instead, in an effort to adjust memory usage better. If you upgraded your video drivers recently, it's possible that it could be the cause. There wasn't anything in recent SL release notes about adjusting the way textures were loaded in and out of video memory. How much RAM does your video card have?
