Blowin in the Wind....or not...

Just downloaded the new version of the WindLight viewer. Has anyone noticed that the wind is no longer blowing. I thought maybe the sound was off, but if you open the wind HUD, it shows:

RWind vec 0.00 0.00 0.00
RWind vel 0.00

If I fire up the standard viewer, the wind sound is back and the values in the HUD are not zero. Weird.

Not that the absence of the wind sound is a bad thing, it's just a little disconcerting when you are flying in dead silence... ;-)

I had high hopes for this client build as the Green flashing screen whenever I clicked a mouse button was distracting at best. First time running this build, I couldn't move 10 feet without stalling, even turning did the same. It did get smoother as the cache filled, so took it that it maybe the issue.

At least I can click my name tag and use profile, groups ect without the ground etc. Got really annoyed as I was doing 2 things at the same time and managed to delete the floor of our fashion show 2 minutes before it started with the previous version LOL.

Group chat and info was lagging badly last night, don't know if that was a client, serverside or asset server issue.

Anyone know the maximum Roles you can create in a group, we got to 10 and the 'create new role' button is not greyed out?

Same issue... I logged in the other day and was seriously confused that I couldn't hear any wind, but paid no attention to it when I could hear everything else. I have those sounds turned lower anyway because they're too loud over everything else.

Thought it was just me....I tried relogging, but that didnt help, so I thought it was because I installed another game recently. Kinda glad to hear its not just me. Funny how the little things throw you off.

Add me to the list. I can't hear the wind either. I hope they fix it soon. Skydiving without wind noise is just plain weird.

Im not able to log on since I installed the latest Windlight, an hour or two ago, nor can I get on using the updated release candidate. The client crashes and sends a crash report whether or not I have time to type in user and name and password or not. Nothing else on my system is troubled, latest drivers, etc. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Windlight ---same thing

Anyone created a JIRA issue for this? I can't get in world to confirm whether it happens to me as well yet
