Flying around the perimeter of Cordova right after installing Second Life 1.10.0 (29) the land around the edge is bizarrely displaced from where it should appear. The effect moves as I move.

This is a new bug for me, I have seen land position anomalies before but not exactly like this.

Here is one example, showing a terrain texture displayed floating disembodied in the air.

On an unrelated note, why does Opera's spellchecker work in the body of the post but not in the title field?

I'm noticing that too, except not just for terrain, but for objects too. Certain groups of objects from sims I've previously visited suddenly appear out of nowhere in some spot at a certain angle, going away when changing the camera angle. Moving the camera back and forth, I can make the same objects appear and disappear.

Cache/graphics issues maybe? This is a weird bug.

The display is much more defective than I first realized.

While I have yet to see either of these issues, I do notice missing terrain tiles (not textures but the actual polygons), or missing groups/sections/strips of tiles, in sims I was just in when moving to another sim, but I'm not sure if SL has always been like this for me or not.

However, I do now finally notice the "keyhole frustrum" mentioned on one of Vektor Linden's textured prims in preview grid Morris, but it acts oddly at 64m draw distance: far away terrain pops in and out at inconsistent distances as the camera moves around.

I don't know if you fly around much, the problem I am reporting might not be detectable if you are standing still doing work.

The problem does not involve only terrain, another user reported that it includes displaced objects as well as terrain, and I have just confirmed this on my system. Pivot around, in the right place, and both terrain and objects that shouldn't be displayed in your location appear and disappear as you pivot back and forth.

I am currently in Mauve, not far from the center. There is a set of illusory objects that appear and disappear as I move my camera, there are words on one the objects, and the words are "PixelSpa".

PixelSpa is in Charteuse.

Yeah I'm seeing the same thing after awhile, I cleared my cache and it went away for a bit but after flying through 3-4 sims it started doing it again.

This build is definately not ready for prime time.

It's time for another version which attempts to address this problem.

Hi,

I'd like to thank Suezanne for all the help she gave me over the weekend regarding this, it was a very strange bug but we spent about an hour taking pictures while i probably made the longest bug report i've ever made to try and show the developers how to reproduce it, photos, even showing it on a few different machines.

Luckily that has all paid off and the fix should be in the next build

Yay

Milo
