Known Issues

   

Help Search

  • While general Search is functional in this release, Help Search will not be available for the Public Beta

Possible Texture Loading Issues when Switching Between Viewers

  • Intermittent texture loading problems have been seen when transitioning between Viewer 2 and other official Second Life Viewers. If you experience this issue, the problem may be resolved by clearing your cache and re-logging into Viewer 2 using the following the process:
  1. Go to Me > Preferences
  2. Select the Setup tab
  3. Press the Reset button
  4. Logout and log back in

Crash when Invoking SLapp After Login

  • When Second Life is running, pasting the URL 'secondlife:///app/login/show' into either the Nav Bar or an external browser will result in a crash. The problem is caused by llURLDispatcher attempting to load the login URL while the application is running.

Hiding Language Preferences from Scripted Objects

  • In 1.23 you could opt to hide your language preference from objects via a check-box on the Preferences > General tab. In Viewer 2, this capability has been moved to Advanced > Show Debug Settings. In the Debug Settings dialog, select 'LanguageIsPublic' and set the value to 'False'.

Deferred Rendering

  • In Viewer 2, Deferred Rendering is experimental functionality only and will not be officially supported.
