Recent JIRAs concerning Volunteers
This page is supposed to inform Volunteers about current bugs reported at the JIRA in order to provide a better help for Residents in needs. For a list which includes all issues (features too) concerning volunteers, please have a look at MISC-678.
Please consider having a look at the bugs marked as Hot This Week at SL JIRA Stats.
Other mentionable bugs in this context are:
- VWR-7957 - Clothing skinning error on nVidia
- There is a known conflict between the newer NVidia graphics card drivers and the 1.20 and 1.21 series clients which causes clothing to change appearance. Affected items will texture the entire upper or lower half of the avatar body. This appearance change is global, ie everyone will see the changed appearance. Clearing cache or rebaking textures will not correct the issue, however the affected items do not appear to be permanently damaged. Some residents have reported that rolling back their video drivers to at least the 175.xx series corrects the issue, and as the still usable 1.19.1.4 and 1.19.0.5 clients are not affected rolling back the client to one of those versions also corrects the issue, although resident's may need to Edit->Appearance with the affected items to correct them. The developers are aware of the issue and are working on it. For more information, please see the Public Issue Tracker at VWR-7957
