🪰 Viewer Bug Reports

I am experiencing ongoing spam from the account ChristophNaumova33, which appears to be a bot. The account is already blocked on my end, however I am still receiving approximately 40 daily spam attempts. While the block prevents messages from being displayed, the system still logs each attempt (including ad-hoc conference/group invite attempts). This is flooding my chat history and impacting my ability to use chat logs for Second Life business purposes. Key issues: Account is blocked but spam attempts continue daily Block does not prevent conference/group invite attempts being logged Chat logs are being heavily spammed despite no visible messages Ongoing impact on usability of chat history due to volume of entries The bot was originally encountered within the Fifty Linden Friday group. After continued spam, I asked in the group whether others were experiencing the same issue, and several users confirmed they were also being targeted but had successfully blocked the account. I am unsure why blocking is not fully preventing the same behaviour in my case. I have reported this issue daily, but the account remains active and the behaviour continues. Reference evidence: https://gyazo.com/66369e0ddd647ef2c7f6300df406d63f https://gyazo.com/400f8b9cb56b2acf4950a19e149adfcc Requesting investigation and mitigation of blocked-user invite/logging behaviour.

Create a particle system with PSYS_SRC_TARGET_KEY set. Let it run for a while. Then switch to a new particle system with a different value for PSYS_SRC_TARGET_KEY. Observe that the remaining particles from the old system switch targeting to the new system's PSYS_SRC_TARGET_KEY.

Bug was found by Lucia Nightfire in the Firestorm Preview group On the LL viewer, using Websearch , search groups for the term Hentai Observe there are many results Now switch to Legacy search via top menu -> World -> Legacy Search, and search Groups for the term Hentai Observed Behaviour Legacy group search on the LL viewer returns zero results for the term Hentai This bug also reproduces on the Firestorm Beta when using LL's Legacy Search implementation. On the Firestorm Beta, setting the debug setting FSUseFSLegacySearch to TRUE, which uses Firestorm's Legacy search rather then LL's, the bug no longer reproduces.

The Destination Guide button is missing from the Web search tab on LL viewer and FS Viewers. Destination guide is no longer an option to click so therefore the guide is not searchable. This will cost those that provide sims for exploration, business, shopping events and more. My first image is from an archive photo of how the destination guide was in search prior to this issue, the second and third are screenshots from two viewer as it is now. This happened about a week and. a half ago..seems it was when that cookie thing showed up. I spent a long time talking with a Firestorm developer about this yesterday, too.

## Summary GLB/GLTF uploads can produce different rigged mesh deformation than DAE uploads from the same source model when the model uses a bind pose that differs from the viewer skeleton rest pose. ## Context Bind pose support is not directly exposed by Blender itself, although other tools such as Maya support this workflow. Both Collada/DAE and GLB/GLTF can represent bind-posed models through inverse bind matrices. The Avastar Blender add-on explicitly adds bind pose support and collada support to Blender-5, so this issue can be reproduced and tested using Blender-5 with Avastar. ## Steps to Reproduce in Blender In Blender, create or open a rigged mesh that uses a bind pose different from the default viewer skeleton rest pose. typical use case: A-posed models with A-Pose as restpose. Export the same model from Blender as DAE. Export the same model from Blender as GLB/GLTF. Upload/import both files into the viewer. Compare the imported results at the vertex/deformation level. ## Actual Result The GLB/GLTF import can deform differently from the DAE import, even though both files were exported from the same source model. Visible differences can include child joint twists. ## Expected Result DAE and GLB/GLTF exports from the same bind-posed source model should import with equivalent vertex-level deformation. Mesh edges may differ depending on exporter triangulation, but the rigged vertex positions and deformation should match. ## Test Notes This was tested with Blender using Avastar bind pose support by exporting the same bind-posed model as both DAE and GLB/GLTF, then comparing the uploaded viewer results.

I present the same model (a small avatar accessory) with 2 different sets of LOD models. In each case the lowest LOD model has been 'zeroed out' to 18 tris as is typical in this use case. Triangle counts are as follows. * Model 1 - High 63040 (36k virts), Med 15760, Low 3940 * Model 2 - High 15760 (10k virts), Med 3940, Low 3940 Both of these models are visually indistinguishable in use. The DAE files prior to upload are sized as follows. * 63040 tris - 9.2mb * 15760 tris - 2.2mb * 3940 tris - 500kb Working on the dae sizes alone ... * Model 1 - 11.9mb * Model 2 - 4.9mb However .... * Model 1 - Download weight 0.7 * Model 2 - Download weight 3.1 When worn ARC is equally broken (as reported in firestorm) * Model 1 - ARC 319 * Model 2 - ARC 672 Objectively Model 2 is better for performance. Duplicating the mesh for 2 detail levels is punished to the point that using a sub division surface modifier to generate an insane 63k tris high model results in 'better consumer numbers' at intended object scale (it's also cheaper to upload). In addition to model duplication being unnecessarily punished, the scale component of Li accounting is fundamentally flawed and pushes creators into a situation where large items need to be low poly and tiny (often worn) items are best high poly! No wonder everyone's avatar is solid in wire-frame. This model is a small avatar accessory. Obviously the example mesh is over detailed, 'unoptimized' and created using techniques best suited to slow rendered content rather than real time. The point is why should anyone bother with 'low poly' when this gets the-job-done and is predictably rewarded.

I built 2 homes and as soon as I package them it shows no modify and no transfer and i check everything and everything I use is full perm and one of the other homes backup was deleted and it was not me who deleted the home and I am asking tech support to fix this and they did not fix it instead the backup home was not there can someone please contact me immediately cause I spent hours to finish the builds can someone please contact me in world to resolve this so I am able to put the homes for sale.

"If the 2D don't work, the 3D don't work". I was at Sci Fi Con 17. All day long, no matter how many or how few avatars were on a region, textures took ruddy ages to load. Now one might say "There are so many textures at a big event it just takes a long time." But I'd walk into an enclosed room... where textures should be limited, yet the vendors on the wall just sat there and sat there and sat there. Textures RIGHT NEXT TO ME fail to load. One can stand there and stand there and stand there... and they still don't rez. I would click on a texture and tell it TEXTURE REFRESH... and it would ignore that instruction. I first reported texture issues and bottlenecks back in 2005. Now my computer and graphics card is hundreds of times more powerful... and textures still load at a snail pace. I will say the same thing I said back then: There is a texture bottleneck on SL. (Or, several texture bottlenecks, and it affects EVERYTHING.) With respect, I'm not asking for an explanation, nor excuses. I'm making a simple observation: After 22+ years online, Second Life should be able to very quickly load 2D textures in an enclosed room. Is this not correct? I suspect there will be people all too ready to give reasons why textures load slowly. To any and all such reasoning, I have one answer: Second Life needs to make textures load quickly. There's no argument, debate, discussion or excuse to that simple statement. Users need textures to load quickly enough that we don't get bored standing in a store (waiting for vendor textures to load)... and decide to go do something else. Like Netflix. ;D Because that's what it is: Second Life vs Netflix. Users have options on how to spend their time. When Netflix can stream entire videos realtime, surely Linden Lab should be able to send 2D textures across the Internet... yes? As a note: I'm not going to debate nor discuss or argue with those who are always ready to argue on these feedbacks. The feedback is posted, I've said what I came to say... and I have to believe the vast majority of SL users will agree with this: textures on SL need to load faster.

Testing PR for align planar faces for PBR materials https://github.com/secondlife/viewer/pull/5347 in viewer 26.2 it appears to only align the base color textures and not the other textures normal/ORM. Also side note reviewing the github notes it looks like it was only ever tested with a base color texture so it might be needed to add a full material (Basecolor/ORM/Emissive/Normal) to QA testing.

upon initial log in after installing the block list is fine block list is empty upon a new log in every log in after that the block list remains empty even after adding avatars to the block list again after clearing cache block list comes back but empties once relogging and letting inventory load completely also happens on the latest firestorm release edit: cannot update to add photo of empty block list
