Culling going ever so slightly crazy.

I have been seeing this ever since the last update but I have finaly managed to figure out how to make it happen. My bug report is already sent but this is a rather visualy cool bug and more pictures can always help solve a problem. When you have your camera far away from your avatar in a crowded place the culler starts to get a little to enthusiastic.

Nothing to impressive here. Just a little overzealousness. There were six or so people in the room.

A little to much culling if I do say so myself. There were around 20 or so people in the welcome area then.

Now this is just over the top. It has culled of three forths of the screen including what I was standing on. This happend when the WA had 30+ people in it. If you can't tell this one was taken in the WA to.

Now if I return my view to something a little more human in scale the objects and such will start reloading again with now major harm done except to my bandwidth.

Ah the Welcome area thing, its easy to do been around awhile , turn on property lines and stand in one sim, then rotate cam around and put it in diffrent ones, after awhile sim will start to wanish, 4 sims corners do odd things o.o

Havnt seen prims go invis yet (ok so i barly pay attension o.o) but i know alot of my friends have it.
