Known Issues

   

Ambiguous Error Message After Viewer Update

  • After updating your Viewer version, during login, you may see the message "We are unable to read your protected data so it is being reset. This may happen when you change network setup.". This message is poorly worded, but in no way indicates that your personal data is in any danger. You will, however, need to re-enter your login information on the login screen.

Script Editor is Broken

  • Creating a new script, whether in an object or in the Scripts folder, will present a script with corrupted line feeds. As a result, all lines appear on a single line. Editing scripts in this Viewer version is not recommended.

Camera Positioning Broken When Editing Appearance

  • When in the Appearance Editor, whether working with your avatar or your current outfit, the camera coordinates are incorrect. To ensure that you are able to see your avatar while using the Appearance Editor, please be sure to Alt+click on your avatar prior to entering edit mode.
