Is anyone else getting this since that last patch? Or is it just me?
Up till now things had been getting better with each patch for me. Now textures are loading even more slowly than before and collision sprites and particles don't appear to load at all.
It doesn't appear to be device specific....tried it on my laptop and another computer.

This is the first patch that hasn't improved things for me, so that's a little disappointing.

Just means the collision sprite texture hasn't loaded yet.

The boxes seem to be really annoying for particles. Why not make particles go back to the smokey texture

My question is why is the bump particle even being streamed? If they ever need to change it, it can surely go out in one of the many updates that come out.

I see it too, it is pretty silly to have to stream the sparks that occur when an avatar runs into something.

Also awkward: I haven't logged out, but've been exploring around. I saw the collision particles after they loaded, but a few minutes later, in a different sim, they turned to gray and had to load again. Doesn't seem as "persistent" as it could be, especially considering...

Oh, were you using that?

The cache still doesn't seem to be working, ever since 1.7...

For example...

I log out and log back in again right away, and I still have to wait for my textures to download. What's up with that? They're the SAME textures I was just wearing 30 seconds before... shouldn't they be in the cache already?

There's lots of other problems like that. I'll turn around after I've been looking in one direction for a while... gray boxes. Wait a minute. Turn around again... MORE gray boxes. Hey. I WAS JUST LOOKING AT THAT.

It's like I'm in a Charlie Chaplin restaurant scene where every plate's taken away just as I set about eating it.

I've cleared my cache and changed the settings and it still doesn't seem to be doing anything with the hundreds of megabytes of encrypted *stuff* it's stashing in my profile.

Also.. Has anyone noticed that the cloud particles seem to load immediately? I normally have clouds off, but I just noticed this upon login.
