First time I have seen this one! Walking or around then suddenly it folds completly in half an stays that way for about 40 seconds. I dont know what actions are needed to make this happen yet, but I can rule out all worn or attached items... cause there are none.
The only thing I can say for sure is, just waiting for it with teh mouse on the bug button doesnt repro it... you have to be doing something.
Anyone else seen this one?

I get this almost daily now... Glad to know I am not alone.
Soon it will be one year I am in SL. The last time I got this was several months ago, before 1.7 I think. I cannot remember exactly, but someone told me it had something to do with "Avatar Vertex Program" being checked in the preferences, and that unchecking it would fix the issue... Well last time it did... But this time it isn't even checked O.o!
So I tried checking it, and then uncheck... but nope. I still get bendy avatars, including myself and others.
Please, could someone who knows why, or a Linden, post the REASON and THE WAY TO FIX this? It would be appreciated.
Thank you!!

I report this bug the night right before the release of the 1.9 client......I am still trying to figureout the steps to do it again to help solve this.......Strange it seems to do this each time a major client is released.

I do not know the reason for this. It's a stumper--but it's been around for ages. Part of the problem is it doesn't have an easy reproduction. Like Ruthing (getting turned into the "ugly woman" after you TP), it's not a simple matter to do over and over. When you see it tho, it really is freaky.
Graphics drivers are absolutely up-to-date too, right?

I've seen this before! Its really fun when it happens. My avatar looks like she suddenly snaps her backbone and the upper body just drops and dangles, while the feet remain walking like normal. It would have been better if there was a loud bone crack sound, but no. Used to happen to me when crossing sim borders, and corrects itself after a few moments. But it no longer happens, so one less source of fun.

Problem is it occured (preview 1.9 ) right before the FINAL release.....of the 1.9 client.
I wonder when the next up date is. because this first client is really a mess.......

Graphics drivers are absolutely up-to-date too, right? The Ruthing problem seems obvious to me. Heavy Packet Loss. I'm talking about the multiple blasts of red in the lag bar. After watching it happen to me many times, I've noticed that it seems to only happen when you TP into a very laggy sim. While the server seems to retry packets fairly well. I've noticed that if it's really bad you will loose stuff. Sometimes whole avatars never appear. I've seen many times when only my belt buckle appears. Clearly the retry isn't infinite. And if it is then something is getting lost. Maybe outgoing packet loss? Should be easy to reproduce on a Mac Mini with 256MB of RAM AND DEFAULT SETTINGS. For that matter crank the network speed to max. Oh don't try it while connected to SL on the internal network, the Free WiFi in SF my be a help there.  Another thing that may help would be using an avatar that's loaded up. Change everything! Skin, eyes, etc. On the other hand no one seems to care about it. Seems more like a feature. |

From: Torley Linden Like Ruthing (getting turned into the "ugly woman" after you TP) Another thought: has anyone actually been Ruthed since 1.9.0? I haven't maybe the direct TPing has helped? Although I have been invisible in 1.9.0(16). Which seems to indicate the base avatar (Ruth) never even loaded to be modded. Also since 1.9.0 I've seen my and other avatars Ruth and then load the mods many times. Maybe I need to play on the slow mac more? |
