camera rotation crash bug

Oh gesh here we go again Displaysedttingnoshaders missing for alerts?? along with with camera rotation crash bug AGAIN. Anyone else have this occuring?!


Whatr in the world is going on?

Techie in our midst, LOL (just kidding). No on the camera rotation bug, I've been doing waterfall last night until about 3am, no problems till then, even at higher resolutions.

please drop the jokes.....I have crashed many times this week since the last update...If you don`t use the camera much or during periods of high population. Then of course your not going to have issues.......Please this is a tech forum same the jokes for other areas....

I don't know what the camera rotation bug is, but I can tell you that I've crashed to desktop a great many times while using the camera in "orbit mode" to get a good look at something. Is that similar? If so, then I'm still having that problem frequently.

no issues here sry

btw this is current version feedback, a place to express your feelings on (or to basicly bitch about) the current version and its features, tech support is a cupple down

yea yea i know it iust started with this version but i doubt they added a " crash only random users when using the camera" feature

FYI..................This is the Windows XP Pro and not Apple or Linux

I get a problem like this actually. If I am in a high lag area or around a lot of people, and then suddenly try to use my camera, SL will freeze, and sometimes crash.

I also get that problem if I rotate my view around too though, after long periods of inactivity.

Hi Usagi. Do you have a JIRA task that I can pass on to our developers?

Although this very likely could be a JIRA-worthy issue, if not already reported, two things:

1) Common cause I have experienced for this: overfull cache...running the camera around and/or rapid rotation of avatar perspective crashing your UI is likely the result of not having enough cache space available for high-speed rendering to screen demands. I am stepping out on a limb a bit, but I suspect this would be aggravated by you requiring more smaller downloads to render while in the presence of heavy avatar-server exchange areas (but this is a guess). I would try to either clear more frequently and/or expand cache size;

2) If you don't have any sense of humor for tech problems, you're in the wrong place at the wrong time, though that opinion does not diminish the value of your concern.

I give that information soon.........Thank you for repling. It seems its getting worse then better.

I don't have a clue why, but for me turning off all audio (in SL and any media player proggie) and running completely silent "fixes" this for me.

And no, there isn't anything wrong with my audio drivers . I can count on one hand the number of times SL crashed for me in a whole year, it's the 1.15.x branch specifically.

Well if t means anything when it happens my audio and vedio are off.......or as you said running completely silent.

I've been noticing this as of late and certainly more recently (as of the 1.15 viewers). Circumstances for me are as follows...

- If I am in a high-textured area and move around either by "normal" AV movement or by camera panning/movement my SL client will crash and send a report.

- Also if I am on for long and move to a lot of different sims, eventually I will slow then crash, and send a crash report.

- Finally, if I am around a lot of AVs that are wearing lots of prims, my SL will crash and send a report. Interestingly enough for this last instance 9 times out of ten I will crash while I am typing something in my chat window. I know, that typing bit is probably coincidental, but it seems to happen while typing. *shrugs*

I want to reiterate that this seems to have gotten bad since the last major version (1.15).

If it helps, my system has an ATI XT1900 graphics card and the 7.4 Catalyst drivers, as of 24 May, 2007.

Also, does anyone know if these automated crash reports are even used or record information about -WHY- someone crashed? The reason I ask is, is it sufficient enough to just let those be submitted or should I send in a bug-report along with each crash?

I am hoping for a JIRA report soon (or maybe even create one myself?).

Still sounds like a download/cache-management problem??? I think it would be very important to express to the JIRA, or whoever's attention you get there, that you ARE working with both a clean (and large-enough) cache. Also, you may need to experiment a bit with bandwidth limits and cache sizes to find a combination that works well with both your graphics and audio cards/drivers.

I just created VWR-851 in JIRA to describe this bug.

Wonder if they even bother with this issue........lets hope they do.

If you're using 1xxx generation of ati cards, try disabling catalyst AI.
If you're using 2xxx generation of ati cards, best is to prob sell it on ebay, and get an nvidia...

Using a 7900 gtx 512 mb. Its improved many 20% from before but its still occuring.

I'm experiencing pretty much the same issues you are Khristen. Ever since a few updates ago I am afraid to rotate the camera in areas with a lot of textures - too often SL will start chewing my hard drive, then crash after a bit. Considering my video card has 512MB, I find this fairy ridiculous behavior.
But hey...they are adding a more advanced physics engine - that's sure to make things BETTER right? Right??

Regardless of the size this occuring continues to happen. Maybe not until H4 comes around will this stop.

Usagi, sound like the same problem many are having, for me its almost always in sandboxes when other folk are rezing or editing items out of my view, when turning i freeze.

Also when frozen if i click anywhere in the actual SL window it stops responding.

This started for me and other with the update that also intoduced live voice, I paosted in a thread a while ago and in a jira on the bug. You might like to check out this older thread and see if its the same problem.

Thank you for sharing this with us. I myself because of the crashes have turened off voice for this very reason. But still its occuring. The prevoice clients the later clients I had not had this problem.Wen we were all forced upgrade to this client I knew this was going to start happening again. I have viewed other threads of this type ad they all seem to focus around the voice client with voice on or off.


Again thank you for sharing

Yes.. camera zoom and rotation is freezing and causing multiple crashes

Had already filed a JIRA on this... Pulling my hair out with it now

sooner of later they step on the bug and kill it onces and for all The sooner or later.
