visible attachemnts...

i have jsut downlaoded the new windlight and i notieced that if i zoom out, all my 'invisible attachemtns' are showing up as solid.. but if i zoom in, i cant see them..

is anyone else noticing this?

any one know how to fix it? (apart form not zooming out)

I've noticed that the attachments appear visible when I first log in but slowly fade away when everything is finished rezzing. I do not recall, though, seeing attachments if I zoom out. I will have to experiment a little.

theyre definitely there if u zoom out.. about 10 metres and they re-appear
looks really funny if u have xcite lips on.. like u have a whole orange stuffeed in ur mouth.... lol

i've noticed i am crashin a lot now too

Ugh, it's true And awful.

Can we has link to JIRA issue?

This one was marked resolved as "fixed" yesterday:


Here is an issue created today, it talks particularly about attachments:

Update, somebody created a new one and marked all the others as duplicates
http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-4337

i dont even know how to use the JIRA thingies....

I've noticed this as well right after I updated my Windlight to the newest version. Hopefully this is a bug they can fix quick, it's a little weird zooming out and seeing someone with a chim for a head. If it isn't resolved in a couple days my only advice is to return to regular view sl and wait for the problem to be fixed in Windlight. If anyone knows how to fix the problem let me know cause I don't have a clue about how to use the jira thingies either. Would also be nice if I didn't have to use up my harddrive space on external addons for SL to fix such issues with Windlight.

i already switched to the main viewer.. had no choice..
crashing every 10 mins on windlight

Yes, I had to switch also. Windlight worked rather well but now . . ack . . . I move - crash. I dont' move - crash. I start to log in - crash. aaah

I do not understand how this was a mandatory update when the last version was working so well and now... I hope they change this or rollback

ive allready prayed at least 5 times for a rolling restart or a new update quickly
i hate the main viewer, it looks so dark and dull after suing windlinght

Someone pointed out that this is a "feature" added on purpose!



Srsly?

Pimping the JIRA issue again: http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-4337

ty, will go do that

i cant believe they did it on purpose O.o

pfff

I've noticed this too - I was at Tiki Lounge yesterday and some people looked like they were dancing with various woks, pots and pans attached to them. Same today at another place. The attachments did disappear sometimes but always came back again.

My RL was hooked up to a super new comp where SL works brilliantly, so it wasn't a comp problem as this didn't happen with the last WindLight version. Luckily I don't wear any big invisibles so I was saved embarrassment!

Also latest update doesn't perform as well as the last one which was really good.

i could handle the attachments problem, but i crash every 10 mins.. so i cant use windlight even if i want to

I used the previous windlight as my standard viewer: more stable, better frame rate, nice sky.
because of the new one crashing every 5 min, I use now the last RC... no more nice sky, lower framerates, not as stable as previous windlight

i just lost all trust into LL.
they seem way more stupid than i could ever imagine

try going to one of the motosl racetracks and race there. that on/off switching of the alphas cost more performance than just rendering them like the creator created them. and it looks worse than a gameboy game.

and the best thing is: now that they implemented it, they wont remove it. way to go LL. you had the best viewer since i am in sl (1 year) and you ruined it completely. not by mistake, on purpose!

this is the first time i am really pissed!

sorry for the rant

ahhhhhhhhhhh

Don't feel that way

Besides, it was given an internal issue ID (DEV-9327)

I don't know for sure if that means they want to fix it. No devs have commented or assigned it. But it's like, in their candy jar now. Or fridge, I dunno

Was the alpha channel bug really intentional? If so, that was a horrible decision. It renders WL nearly unusable. Far from being a desired feature for a slight performance increase, it should be labeled a show stopper bug. Back to the crappy regular viewer for me.

Stupidest Idea Ever!

Seriously, if they are alpha it's because they were supposed to be that way! I can't believe Torley thought making full-alpha objects show, ever, was a great idea. I think I've lost respect for him *cry*

I guess we object creators are just stupid for wanting to actually use alpha layers, thanks for setting us straight Torley

Partial alpha textures aside, why is the viewer even bothering to render fully transparent prims/linksets in the first place?

Rendering alpha/transparent is slow, but something that is invisible (all sides of the prim 100% transparent/alpha) should just be treated like it doesn't exists as far as the renderer is concerned. Not as something that's merely 100% see-through.

Yes I'm suffering the same problems with the invisible stuff showing through. Maybe it's a combination of this version and certail video drivers. My SL partner is using Windlight and doesn't have this problem, so it's not universal.

Hope they fix it soon. BTW I'm using an nVidia 8800GS with the latest drivers and Vista OS.

ohhhhhh... i thought everyone was seeing it....
hmmm...
anyone here NOT seeing it?

I only see them if i have the shaders off. With shaders on they become invisible again. But even so, this has to be the worse viewer ever, I'm crashing a lot.

I have Nvidia 8600 and Vista

There's a separate JIRA issue for this case if you're interested:
http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-173

But yeah, this alpha culling thing is annoying, and it'd either need better handling of 100% invisible prims as mentioned, or become and option or something. As it is it's stupid.
