Sometimes i start seeing boxes as attachments on persons ... and it seems i am not the only one who does. Seems to be some strange thing that came with the new attachment handling in SL.
If i relog it wont help, attachments still stay boxes ...

Do you mean like some people shoes look like they are a single prim box like but with a texture, even though they should be a normal prim shoe?
If so then, next time you see it, report the bug via the help menu and include the screenshot. Im sure i've seen this too just not realised it till now so will be bugging it next time |

I've seen this, but only in blinkfast situations. If I zoom my cam way out and come back in quickly, or if I spin around really fast, I'll sometimes see complex attachments rendered as crude boxes for a split second. This has been happening since 1.6 and I don't know the technical background why, but I'm not alone in seeing it, apparently.

I'm seeing this too. Not only am I seeing boxes, but at times, the attachments grow and completely engulf the av thats wearing it.
Personally, I have given up on prim shoes until this bug is fixed. I'll just go barefoot in SL. _____________________

I think those are particles. I had a campfire that produced boxes. Are they plywood boxes? Maybe thats where my plywood texture has gone! But the boxes I see with the campfire smoke is kinda bluish.

I get it on attachments that don't do particles.

Not only do I have this, but sometimes when I am building, prims just disappear. Linked prims, mind you. Relogging causes them to reappear, but, it's really frustrating having to relog 50 times to complete a relatively simple project.

It also only seemed to happen when a certain script was in it, but that could've been coincidence. The boat would disappear and I was like  "WHERE'D MY BOAT GO!?", then I relogged and it was there. lol Seems to me like it's the opposite of ghosting!_____________________

What most of this sounds like to me is SL reducing the number of triangles on screen at any point in time. This is required to have any frame rate worth speaking of on any non futuristic video card
 Thus I'm not sure this is a "bug", but I do think the algorithms for determining more important and less important prims need some tuning. (ie what prims to allocate more triangles to, for any rounded edge, the more triangles you have the better it looks) |
