Known Issues

   

Mac OSX 10.4 Unable to Run Viewers 2.3.0 and 2.4.0

  • STORM-790 Viewer 2.3 and 2.4 don't run on Mac OSX 10.4 (Tiger) - Intel Macs running OSX 10.4 will be unable to run Second Life Viewers 2.3.0 and 2.4.0. This issue is a side-effect of the fix for the anti-aliasing bug SH-392.

Display Names and Usernames Appear as "???"

  • DN-202 Display Name and Username showing as ??? - While we've made some progress in addressing this issue, we are still working hard on identifying the root cause of this problem, as not all Residents with Display Names enabled are encountering it.
