🪰 Viewer Bug Reports

I open a group notice by clicking the envelope icon, then a notice. There is an image attached to it. I click the image attachment and it does not open. I check my inventory and it is not there either. I have to go to the group popup, go to the notices tab, and click the image there, and then it opens. Years ago, this used to work correctly, and I remember it was supposed to be fixed, but i cannot get it to work. I tried this in both the LL viewer and Firestorm.

Create PBR a material Set mode to "Mask" or "Opaque" Preview texture on any object you will see texture depth loss. Change mode to "blend", color depth issue will be resolved but alpha issues will occur so this is not a viable alternative, mask is required to fully resolve the issue. The above issue happens on every object I have tested it on and greatly impacts and limits creativity for all users wishing to use PBR. I've tried this with numerous textures and all have the same outcome, Will add more detail if needed but I think this covers it enough.

on viewer 7.2.1.17108480561 - Default sculpted prims do not upload correctly. the image shows the exact same texture represented 3 ways. On the left, the model was uploaded prior to the version release. In the center, uploaded after the update. On the right, used as a local texture from my HDD.

Sometimes when rezzing on a mesh object, not only does the item fail to rez, we get a false error message which states "The object failed to rez because the owner of the land does not permit..." etc etc. This gives the false impression it is a land setting issue, when in reality it is a rez-on-mesh problem. When the item is rezzed on bare ground or a standard prim, it rezzes first time every time, with no error message.

Edit Permissions Not granting when someone grants permissions

The base color of a PBR material is inconsistent depending on whether it's opaque or alpha blended: in opaque mode, the base color's low end is crushed in a way that's consistent with a lossy sRGB-linear conversion, whereas in blend mode it is not. Steps to reproduce: 1) Rez 2 cubes 2) Apply this material by UUID on both cubes: 4123dd84-6f3e-52d0-4f8d-051d7c1a7c20 3) Set Scaling to U 0.125, V 1.0, offests U 0.24, V 0.0 to zoom into the gradient's dark end 4) Observe the intense banding at the dark end of the gradient's colors 5) Set one of the cubes into alpha blend mode instead of opaque 6) Observe that the banding disappears and the texture is displayed correctly wrt. the actual colors in the base color layer 7) Bonus: rez yet another cube, apply this texture as Blinn-Phong diffuse: bf0a0a57-8574-3f55-b5bc-eaae688b181e 8) Set scale H 0.125, offset H -0.2 to zoom into a similar region as the PBR material 9) Observe there is no banding, looking quite identical to the alpha blended PBR Demo image has opaque cube on left, blended cube on right.

Make a notecard and set all permissions in Properties to Next Owner can Modify, Copy, and Transfer. Also check all boxes user Permissions, including Group Share. Write any text in the notecard. Create a simple prim on your Deeded Land. Check that the object is also in the land group. Copy above notecard to Content tab of prim object. Before deeding the prim to the land, you can read and edit the notecard, as the owner of the land and the owner of the prim object. Click Share and Deed buttons to deed object to land group. Go back to notecard in contents, and you will not have permission to read or modigy the notecard. Note the notecard had full perms before transfering to the object. You, as the owner of the group cannot delete the notecard. If you then check the perms of the notecard in Content, the Share box was unchecked. Trying to change perms with Permissions button gives an error message, cannot add perms. If you try to add any object, script,or notecard to Contents, one deeded, you will be blocked with red block icon when trying to drag from inventory to Contents. This makes group members with perms to edit a deeded object impossible to change anything. A deeded radio for instance cannot change or update station urls in the notecard. Note I am the owner and creator of the object, the notecard, and the land group and the land. Other group members with edit permissions are also restricted from modify of deeded objects. This BUG was first noticed in the Second Life Release 7.2.2.17774206511 (64bit) viewer, and also the Firestorm Firestorm 7.2.2 (79281) Sep 9 2025 18:02:30 (64bit / SSE2) (Firestorm-Beta). In all versions before this, one could both read and modify notecards that had full perms in Contents, and well as being able to add more scripts, notecards, and objects to Contents with only Edit permissions for group objects.

Try to rez a mesh object, or a mesh avatar. Takes ruddy ages during which time the item is totally invisible and gives no indication the rezzing is in process. Prim objects rez almost instantly and even if the textures aren't visible... the shape is.

When using llSetAgentEnvironment to slowly change environment values in an experience, all parameters change gradually over the transition period except Cloud Coverage: this value changes suddenly at the end of the transition, giving an unwanted sudden change in lighting.

Hello. I am reporting a persistent and critical instability issue with the Second Life Viewer (this occurs on both the Official Linden Lab Viewer and Firestorm Viewer). The application experiences an immediate crash upon the very first launch after a system boot. The Viewer then runs completely stable on the second attempt without any system changes. This bug is consistently reproducible across different Viewer versions. This issue occurs on the following system configuration: Operating System : Windows 11 Pro 64-bit Processor AMD Ryzen 5 7600 Graphics Card : NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 NVIDIA Driver Version: 555.99 System RAM: 32 GB DDR5 Windows Power Plan: AMD Ryzen Balanced. To achieve any kind of stability upon initial launch, two specific workarounds must be applied simultaneously: VSync Must Be Disabled: Vertical Sync (VSync) must be explicitly DISABLED within the NVIDIA Control Panel for the Viewer application. Run as Administrator: The Viewer client must always be launched with Administrator privileges. All standard and advanced troubleshooting methods have been exhausted. The following critical tests confirm the issue is software-based: Hardware Stability Confirmed: Power Supply Unit (PSU) and GPU stability have been verified. The computer successfully passed a full 15-minute GPU stress test using FurMark (running at 100% usage, even with VSync on) without any system shutdown or crash. This rules out hardware failure (PSU/Overheating). Software Scope: The problem is confirmed to occur on the Official SL Viewer, Firestorm Viewer, and older Firestorm versions. Other Steps: All drivers/OS are updated, cache has been cleared multiple times, and various graphics debug settings (VRAM detection overrides) have been attempted without success.The issue appears to be rooted in the Viewer's core initialization process (likely VRAM allocation or system file access) during its initial cold start on this specific hardware configuration.I have included the Crash Logs from a failed first launch attempt. Please use this information, particularly the log files, to diagnose why the core Viewer code is unstable upon initial launch on a system running the NVIDIA RTX 4060. I didnt do picture. because dont show me only just close me all game and computer. i have that from one week, before did work normal and without problems. A rigorous, clean reinstallation of the NVIDIA drivers (using DDU) has been performed. Following this process, the complete computer shutdown issue has been resolved, but the game still crashes on the first launch attempt. I must use the workaround (Run as Administrator + VSync OFF) for stable operation. This definitively confirms that the bug lies deep within the Viewer's core code and requires your intervention. With close Vsync and I'm starting as an administrator game close too. close me again but after 3 h. i did try too take off my all avatar and wear old from firestorm but is same. i send one picture what show me after close game.
