Something weird happened to the JIRA issue for this.

http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-4337

Torley Linden marked it as resolved, fix pending. "Great," I thought.

But the comment for that change was:

From: Torley Linden
A FIX for this is PENDING... *edits issue to reflect current status*

"Alpha opacity optimazation should only take affect when atmospheric shaders are on."

Thanks all who helped!


That's very... weird. I think he's saying that they'll move this bug so it only affects the newer, more pretty rendering engine, and not the fallback mode.

Srsly, what? I think then we'll have even more LOADS of people angry about the issue because it uglies up the newer rendering engine instead!

There's more... after that, he renamed the issue...

Old title: "WindLight: Invisible prims appearing opaque at a distance"
New title: "WindLight: Fallback shiny is partially invisible"

Obviously, the new title has jack shit to do with what everyone has been commenting on, voting for, and posting pictures of.

Now, I was only an inch away from reopening the issue and changing the name back to what it was, but I decided to ask you all what you think, first...

The WindLight office hour would be the best time to ask for the reasoning behind it, since Torley will just be reflecting the WindLight's team decision anyway.

I like the solution though since it means *I* won't have to put up with the bug anymore :p.

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 :(

Oh, i dont wanna run into problems, maybe i should not sue Havok4 also...:p
however, i like the idea of an option to switch this on/off at will.
its nice to see and inspect what attachments an avatar is wearing without having to use CTRL+ALT+T.
