Hi there,

The latest client, 1.18.1(2), isn't working well for me at all graphically. The problems I'm seeing are:

(a) Some sections of the terrain aren't being rendered at all. For example - if I am looking at a hillside, in places I can see through the hill as though it isn't there to the terrain the other side of the hill.
(b) Some object textures remain grey for a very long time - certainly they still hadn't loaded even after I had created this thread.
(c) It is unusually slow / laggy and difficult to move.

None of these things seemed to be a problem in the previous client version, which worked well.
My hardware + software is:

Second Life 1.18.1 (2) Aug 1 2007 13:32:25 (Second Life Release)
CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1300MHz
Memory: 504 MB
OS Version: Linux 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Thu Jun 7 20:19:32 UTC 2007 i686
Graphics Card Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
Graphics Card: GeForce 6200/AGP/SSE2

LLMozLib Version: 1.1.0 (Mozilla GRE:1.8.0.12_0000000000)

(Ubuntu feisty)

Is there anything I can do? Or is it just a case of waiting to see if the next one works ok again?

Thanks :)
