Yesterday, post-update, I noticed some weirdness. Every so often, seemingly random, I'm seeing established textures go black, or become a test pattern of sorts. Same thing was happening to my in-world sis yesterday, too. We're both Mac users (I use a 12" PowerBook G4, not sure what she uses, but much more high end than mine), so it might be something specific to our platform, I dunno. Anyone else seeing this? Any thoughts? Mari EDIT: Here's a piccie of what I'm talking about. There is nothing in dis piccie (aside from the railing outside the window) dat should be black: http://www.flickr.com/photos/marianne-mccann/473569783/

Mari, I'm a Mac user too - iMac G5 (Power PC) - and I've experienced this ever since I joined SL. I've amazed and entertained my friends with snapshots of the psychedelic and kaleidoscopic world that is my SL. I must say this morning it was especially colourful, but nothing I haven't seen before.

I've been fine with it for practically ever. I saw a little bit of text pattern-y stuff on early First Look betas, but nothing like last night. It was really bad. Mari

Some of my textures are showing up "blown out" or "super full bright". I only noticed so far at my shop, but not all of the were brought in by me. I use a metallic tecture set from a certain "Foxey" texture supplier that seems to be pretty popular with jewelry makers (how I discovered them). It was blown out too. Haven't checked and of my inventory yet though. Too forboding a process for the first nite back. lol

Me too (my Mac is a G5 eMac, if I remember correctly - it's at home)
Yesterday, after the update, random areas of texture were going all psychedelic on me. Groovy.
If that's the worst this update can throw at me, though, I can handle it.

I'm seeing it too on my PowerBook after this mess of an update. Not only am I getting the occasional "rainbow test pattern" on random objects, I'm also noticing portions of rezzed avs turning black and/or blurred. Both eventually disappear, but the one with the avs takes a lot longer and relogs don't make a difference.
I have a feeling this is a Mac specific bug.

ok My Brother used to have that problem occasionally long ago on an ATI video card with WIndows. I am wondering if it isn't and ATI thing since I believe ALOT of Macs use ATI.

This uses an NVIDIA From what I'm now suspecting, this could well be an issue with the alpha sorting fix - and could be purty widespread amongst SL's Mac users. Mari

Under the Advanced Graphics preferences , try disabling the option 'Use OpenGL Vertex Buffer Objects." I was getting weird psychedelic patterns (and hard crashing) until I unchecked that option.

My eyes turned black a few times yesterday. Vertex was disabled, so that's not it.
