🪰 Viewer Bug Reports

The eyedropper tool for PBR materials in the Build Floater (Materials tab) does not correctly apply the selected material. If a user creates a PBR material and applies it to an object (for example, a cube), then creates another object and attempts to use the eyedropper tool to sample the material from the first object, the tool does not apply the material to the selected object. The eyedropper appears to select nothing and no material is applied. ## Steps to Reproduce Create or upload a PBR material. Rez a cube and apply the material to it. Rez a second cube. Open the Build Floater and go to the Materials tab (with PBR materials selected). Use the eyedropper tool to sample the material from the first cube. ## Expected Result The sampled material should be applied to the currently selected object. ## Actual Result Nothing happens. The material is not applied to the selected object. ## Additional Information This issue has existed since the initial release of PBR materials and has been mentioned multiple times during the Content Creation User Group (CCUG) meetings. A previous report describing this same issue exists in the archived JIRA system: https://github.com/secondlife/jira-archive/issues/11664

Please leave your comments, criticisms, screenshots and reviews of the SLV "Visual Polish Viewer" project viewer here. The viewer may be downloaded below. Geenz update - March 6: New SLVP build is here: https://github.com/secondlife/viewer/releases/tag/Second_Life_Project%2314b74c9a-VisualPolishAlpha Some notes: Much faster SSR - if it slowed your machine down previously, it should be much faster now. Much smoother "glossy" SSR - should generally look much nicer on glossy surfaces and water New "Ultra" reflection quality - enables realtime reflections on water. Some things are still a little glitchy here, but should be generally closer to 6.6.17's "realtime" reflections Planar mirrors should now be much faster. Geenz update - Feb 26: New SLVP build is here: https://github.com/secondlife/viewer/releases/tag/Second_Life_Project%2374474388-VisualPolishAlpha Some goodies: Drastically reduced striations as you move the camera around Some VRAM wins with selective texture streaming. We now downrez textures more aggressively based upon what they're used for (diffuse, normal, emissive, specular, etc.) New EEP settings for tweaking post processing.

Made the switch yesterday to the Firestorm PBR . The water, eesh. Everything I have under the water is visible whereas before it just blended under. Like one of those teal colors to make the water look tropical, it just is so prominent from above. I can turn off translucent water but then I dont see them at all. Is there a setting im missing that can blend the stuff underwater like the older versions? Its blotchy and in your face and from a distance the water looks very glitchy. The loading screen is PBR (I know it says to download the latest version, but this was after I re-installed the older version, with the PBR still in the cache. The other screen is prior to the PBR install.

Ensure that the headphones are set for both input and output within the viewer preferences. Microphone works, but I don't get any sound of any kind. The headphones work great in other programs.

Logged online for a few hours with no issues, now I'm having issues rezzing In-world. Each time I login, my avatar is a orange cloud and I'm unable to detach any attachments or huds. No deformer's work, I've cleaned out the cache, refresh all attachments, restarted viewer, restarted computer, reinstall viewer on numerous occasions, still no luck.

Today, I update my public viewer 2026.01 but I can't login main grid sims. I tried to login Longfellow and Hippotropolis it showed login time out. I could login to Hippotropolis only once but I could not move. When I tried to fly and showed stop fly button but I was not flying. I coud login to beta grid, but it is difficult to move. And I have very low fps. I could login betagrid and Longfellow and Hippotropolis by Firestorm Firestorm 7.2.3 (80036) Feb 9 2026 18:30:30 (64bit / AVX2). So I think it is not server issue. I updated NVIDIA Driver to 595.79 but this issue is not fixed.

I log in for the first time for the "day" and SL asks me if i am male or female. i select female and it changes my avie to the default starter female avatar. i been in SL for 19+ years. it's been asking me this for nearly a week now.

When I edit my shape and move/undo sliders, my head and body will distort and glitch. Video attached for reference.

I am having issues with payments. Whenever I make a payment into second life , the payment duplicates and pays twice . This also happens when I type into local chat . The text will duplicate

Hello, Our region, Popstar, that houses "Palazzo Park" was upgraded to the beta WebRTC voice. Recently we have been having issues with voice being unable to make IM Voice Calls because it sporadically gets disabled after landing here. I am not sure what causing it. Just wanted to inform you guys about that issue with the new voice WebRTC.
